SERVICE BRAKES, SEAT BELTS, ENGINE
At 4 years and 1/2 old car 2020 Corolla XSE an Engine Maintenance Required SEE DEALER light turned on. Did diagnostic with OBD 2 scanner at two locations auto body shop and Uto zone. Nothing appears. It is in fact a NEEDED future recall since thousands if not more people have encountered the same. It is a Coolant By Pass Valve. Cost is only $99.53 + tax at dealer. Problem is that should be under warranty or extended warranty or recall. Dealer likes to charge $800 (180-200 for diagnostic, $110 part, $400 labor. Part only takes 30 minutes to install. I should be able to buy at dealer for $110 and have them install for free or pay 30 minutes of work time = $85. 1 hour is about $175. So instead of trying to be billed $800 I should only be billed for $85 labor (30 minutes) + $110 part = Brand total of $105 USD. My daughter [XXX] and I, [XXX] (dad) bought the car at Longo Toyota El Monte, CA 91731. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Coolant bypass valve failure. Dealer (Atkins Kroll, Toyota Guam) is conveniently charging me over $600 for repair for a common issue for vehicles of this generation.

Known issue in certain Toyota models and years that the coolant bypass valve fails causing a "Engine Maintence is Required. See Dealer." Toyota is well aware of the issue but has yet to fix the problem as driving with a failed coolant part for too long could cause overheating.

My engine maintenance required screen came on in my car. When I ran the diagnostic, they stated that the coolant bypass valve needs to be replaced in order to prevent the engine from overheating. This seems to happen on all of the 2020 and 2021 Toyota Corollas.

Warning display message “Engine Maintenance Required Visit Your Dealer”. After diagnostic at the dealer, coolant bypass valve failed and needed replacement with hefty, almost $900.00 for parts and labor cost. Did research online, and it seems that more vehicles from the year 2020-2021 have experienced the same issue at 30-55k miles, my car is on 106k miles. Please do a recall for this issue and extend warranty to $200k miles. This car should not have this sort of issue!

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The windshield wipers seize up. On the intermittent setting, instead of wiping every few seconds they sometimes wipe 3 times in a row and then stop in the middle of the windshield sometimes obstructing my view. They sometimes start back up on their own and sometimes are stuck there until I switch to a higher speed and lower speed for the windshield wipers. It becomes a game of trying to restart them while driving while it's raining. It's dangerous.

Experience with a faulty Coolant Bypass Valve. Read enough information of this being a problem with newer toyotas (RAVs, Camrys, Corollas, etc.). Cannot get rid of Engine Maintence Required notification on dash which pops up every 10 seconds when I’m driving after I dismiss it. This specific notificaiton is also NOT in the Toyota Manual whatsoever, and no it is not the Maintenance Service Required notification that comes up every 5,000 miles for basic check up.

“Engine Maintenance Required Visit Dealer” keeps popping up despite engine being fine. Another scan by my mechanic determined that the cooling bypass valve is having an issue/keeps getting stuck and triggering the maintenance alert to keep going off.
