FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I BOUGHT A 2014 COROLLA ON 03.04.2020 AND, I HAVE DISCOVERED AT NIGHT (ESPECIALLY) ALL I GET IS A GLARE DUE TO THE NUMBER OF DEFOGGER LINES ON THE REAR WINDSHIELD. I CANNOT SEE ANY VEHICLES BEHIND ME AT ALL. ALL I SEE IS A GLARE OF LIGHTS, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAR OR NEAR THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME ARE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SCREEN THAT CONTAINS ALL HANDS FREE OPTIONS CONTINUOUSLY ACTS AS IF IT IS REBOOTING AND NEVER FINISHES. IT HAPPENED AT 70,000 MILES AND DID THIS SUDDENLY. IT HAS NEVER WORKED SINCE AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SPEND $1,000 FOR A NEW ONE WHEN IT WASN'T OUR FAULT. THIS IS A MAJOR DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND HAVE A HARD TIME SEEING IF A DEER COMES OUT OR OTHER THINGS I NEED TO WATCH FOR. I HAVE ADHD AND SO THIS CAUSES MORE PROBLEMS FOR ME THAN MAYBE OTHERS. IT FLASHES REALLY BRIGHT AND GOES DIM BUT CONTINUES TO DO THIS THE WHOLE TIME. THIS IS A DANGER FOR ME BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT THAT EXUDES OFF OF THE SCREEN AND NEVER STOPS. IT ALSO IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO MYSELF NOT BEING ABLE TO USE ANY OF THE HANDS FREE OPTIONS. THIS MUST BE CALLED IN FOR A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH 3 OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY ON MY 2014 COROLLA. THE KEY FOB WOULD NOT ACTIVATE THEM. I BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE ON 2/8/2020 AND THE DEALER CONFIRMED THEY WERE FAULTY AND WOULD ORDER THE PARTS. WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS, THE 4TH ACTUATOR AND THE TRUNK LOCK ACTUATOR ALSO FAILED. I BOUGHT IT IN ON 2/15/2020 TO HAVE THE FIRST 3 FIXED AND ALSO TO CONFIRM THE PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER 2 ISSUES SO THOSE PARTS COULD BE ORDERED. I WAS TOLD THE COST TO FIX THE FIRST 3 WOULD BE ABOUT $1500! THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED HAD EXPIRED AND SO I COULD NOT AFFORD THIS. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE CONSULTANT THAT HE'S SEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH COROLLAS. I LOOKED ON LINE AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME VEHICLE ABOUT THIS SAME SITUATION. WITH THIS NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, I WOULD THINK THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL BY TOYOTA AS THIS CAN BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE, CONSIDERING IT TAKES LONGER FOR PEOPLE TO GET IN THEIR WHICH CAN SUBJECT THEM TO POSSIBLE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. THEY ALSO SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THEM AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT'S A PROBLEM. I'VE ATTACHED THE SERVICE FOR 2/15/2020 JUST TO SHOW THAT I DID BRING IT IN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2014 NEW. COME 2015 WE HAD TO REPLACE THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. I BELIEVE THE CAR HAD @60,000 MILES (YES, THAT'S A LOT BUT THOSE ARE MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES)ON IT AT THIS TIME. LUCKILY IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. 7/ 2019 WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. LESS THAN 60, 000 MILES MORE HAD BEEN PUT ON AT THIS TIME. GUESS WHAT NO WARRANTY.! $1,000 LATER WE HAVE A NEW CHARCOAL CANISTER. IT IS NOW 2/2020 , WE ARE AT 145,000 MILES NOW AND GUESS WHAT? SAME PROBLEM. WE'VE CHANGED GAS CAPS. WE'VE DONE FUEL TREATMENTS. WE ARE NOW WAITING ON CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME BACK ON SO WE CAN TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (WHY IS IT OFF? BECAUSE WE JUST PURCHASED THE 3RD GAS CAP IN 6MTHS AND HAD TO RESET IT TO SEE IF THE GAS CAP WAS THE CAUSE.) PROBLEMS: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, I COULD HEAR THE FUEL BEING PUSHED THROUGH THE LINES, IT WOULD MISS AS YOU GIVE IT GAS.SOMETIMES IT'SWHEN YOU ARE TAKING OFF BUT IT DONE IT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY ALSO, THE CRUISING RANGE IS NOT ACCURATE (EX: I JUST FILLED UP. USUALLY IT GIVES ME 428 MILES NOW ITS TELLING ME 376) AND THE ECO LIGHT GOES OFF. NOW THE 1ST 2 TIMES WERE KIND OF DIFFERENT THAN THIS TIME. I THINK WERE ARE IN THE BEGINNING STAGES AT THIS POINT NOW FOR THE 3RD TIME.

WHEN ACCELERATING THE ENGINE REVOLUTIONS RISE IN EXCESS AND THERE IS NO LOGICAL INCREASE IN THE SPEED. THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED AND I THINK IT'S WORSE.

FOR 2 YEARS I'VE RECEIVED RECALL ON MY CAR AND EACH TIME I GET SAME RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA THE TEJAS LOCATION THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A REMEDY AND I WILL GET NOTIFIED WHEN THEY DO. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE !!! THIS IS MY 2ND YEAR WAITING AND THEY DON'T HAVE A LIST FOR ME TO GET ON . TWO YEARS WAITING IN A FIX IS WAY TOO LONG.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE (~80MPH) I HEARD A LOUD NOISE ABOVE ME. I NOTICED GLASS WAS ON MY LAP AND ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. I LOOKED UP TO SEE MY SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED (THE SUNROOF COVER WAS OPEN). I PULLED OVER EXPECTING TO FIND SOMETHING IN MY CAR (I.E. DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD) THAT CAUSED THE SUNROOF DAMAGE. NO FOREIGN OBJECT WAS FOUND. NO OTHER DAMAGE (SCRATCH, DENT, ETC.) WAS EVIDENT ON ANY PART OF THE CAR. I DRIVE A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA S.

I BOUGHT A 2014 CERTIFIED TOYOTA COROLLA S AT TOYOTA CULVER CITY LAST JULY 2017, MAINTANANCE OF MY VEHICLE IS ALWAYS SERVICE AT THIS LOCATION EVER SINCE I GOT IT. THE OTHER DAY WHILE CLEANING MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE PAINT ON THE CORNER SIDE OF MY HOOD IS PEELING OFF. THOUGHT THAT IT WAS JUST NORMAL SO I BOUGHT A TOYOTA TOUCH UP PAINT AND TRIED TO TOUCH UP THE PEELING PAINT BUT EVER TIME I BRUSH IT LIGHTLY TO ADD THE TOUCH UP PAINT THE PAINT ON MY HOOD WILL PEEL OFF. I CHECKED GOOGLE TO SEE IF IM THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS ENCOUNTER THIS PAINT ISSUE. BUT ITS NOT JUST ME. I CHECKED IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE PAINT JOB BUT NOTHING.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SECLUDED STREET AT ABOUT 20MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOYD EXPLOSION ON MY RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR. MY PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR HAD EXPLODED. THE MIRROR ITSELF WAS SHATTERED AND HANGING DOWN, THE BACK PANEL WAS FOUND IN SOME BUSHES ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET. I WAS DRIVING UP THE STREET SO CARS WERE ON MY LEFT. THERE WAS NO ONE WALKING PAST, NOR WERE THERE ANY BICYCLES OR ANYTHING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THAT COULD CAUSE SUCH DAMAGE. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. I SPENT ALMOST 30MINUTES WALKING UP AND DOWN THE STREET TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND NOTHING MADE SENSE. THE MIRROR DID NOT TURN IN, AS WOULD HAPPEN IF I HAD HIT SOMETHING. THERE IS A BLACK MARK ON MY CAR DOOR FROM THE GLASS PIECE SLAMMING INTO IT FROM THE EXPLOSION.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, STEERING
THE ISSUE STARTED WITH THE BATTERY TERMINALS GROWING A LOT OF CORROSION. HAD TO BE CLEANED OFF AND SPRAYED WITH CLEANER AND LUBRICANT EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. THEN AS I TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE CAR WILL SPUTTER BEFORE STARTING. WHEN THE CAR IS ON, THE STEERING WHEEL IS STIFF AND IMMOVABLE FOR THE FIRST MINUTE OR SO. I CAN'T TURN THE WHEEL. IT LOOSENS UP AS YOU DRIVE. IT WILL RANDOMLY GET A BIT STIFF WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. TYPICAL SPEEDS OF 45MPH OR FASTER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I TURN ON THE FOG LIGHTS TO THE CAR I STARTED SMELLING A ELECTRICAL SMELL. STOPPED MY CAR AND SAW THE FRONT LEFT OF MY CAR ON FIRE AND SAW THE FOG LIGHT SMOKING. MY FIG LIGHT SWITCH IS ALSO IN THE WIPER CONTROL THAT WAS BEING RECALLED ON OTHER COROLLAS AND DONT KNOW IF THAT HAS AN EFFECT WITH THE WIPER CONTROL SHORTING OUT. I PUT OUT FIRE AND TURNED OFF FOG LAMPS AND NO PROBLEM. BUT WHEN I TURN FOG LAMP ON I HAVE THE PROBLEM WHERE IT STARTS TO SMOKE THERE. *TR*JB

SERVICE BRAKES
PURCHASED CAR USED (7000 MILES) FROM TOYOTA DEALER IN ACTON, MA. TOOK IN FOR CHECKUP EVERY 5000 MILES UNTIL 35,000 MILES. AT 38,000 MILES, TOOK OFF FRONT WHEELS TO CHECK BRAKES AND FOUND THAT THE INSIDE OF BOTH ROTORS WERE TERRIFICALLY GROOVED AND THE PADS THE SAME, WHILE THE OUTSIDE OF THE ROTORS WAS GOOD AND THE OUTSIDE PADS HARDLY USED. THE BRAKE CALIPERS ON BOTH SIDES WERE FROZEN. I REPLACED EVERYTHING AND SHOWED THE DEALERSHIP MY PICTURES. THEY SAID THEY WOULD TALK TO THEIR STAFF AND OFFERED NO HELP, SO I PAID FOR EVERYTHING. THIS WAS UNSAFE AND OBVIOUSLY MISSED MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE "160-POINT INSPECTION"! IT LOOKED LIKE A PROBLEM FROM WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW AND FIRST USED AS A RENTAL BY THE DEALER. THE BRAKES MADE LITTLE EXTRA SOUND(BUT THE SCRAPING WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT) AND THE BRAKES STOPPED THE CAR OKAY WITH JUST A LITTLE EXTRA PRESSURE---I THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR.
