UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TAKATA RECALL I BUYING MY VEHICLE TOYOTA COROLLA 2014 IN EGYPT IN MARCH 2014. I USE IT UNTIL NOW AND MAKING ALL THE SERVICE REQUIRED THROUGH THE AGENT SERVES CENTER EVERY 10000 KM UNTIL NOW. NOW THE VEHICLE MAKE AROUND 138000 KM. SUDDENLY I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION (CVT) SO I SEND IT TO THE SERVES CENTER THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY NEED TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND I SHOULD PAY ALL THE FEES WHICH WILL BE AROUND 130000 EGP (7300 USD) AS MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD. THE QUESTION IS WHY I SHOULD PAY ALL THIS AMOUNT, I DO ALL THE SERVES ON TIME WITHOUT DELAYING IN THE AGENT SERVES CENTER. IS IT NORMAL TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION EVERY 137000 KM, THIS IS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ME BEFORE IN TOYOTA VEHICLES. SO I NEED TO KNOW WHAT SHOULD I DO. THANK YOU.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING TO WORK MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A MAJOR 1 CAR ACCIDENT ON 12/26/2017. IN THE ACCIDENT WAS SOME SPINNING AND TREE COLLISION. THROUGH ALL OF THAT THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR DID NOT DEPLOY. TOYOTA STATES THAT MY CAR WAS COLLIDED WITH FAST ENOUGH FOR THEM TO DEPLOY BUT THE DAMAGE AND AMOUNT OF GLASS WAS SUBSTANTIAL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOTH THE DISPLAY AND FUNCTIONALITY OF MY 2014 COROLLA'S BLUETOOTH RADIO NAVIGATION UNIT SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND IT APPEARS TO BE IN A NEVER-ENDING REBOOT CYCLE. A PICTURE OF THE UNIT APPEARS ON THE SCREEN WITH A LOADING BAR UNDERNEATH IT AS IF IT'S TRYING TO UPDATE ITS SOFTWARE. HOWEVER, REGARDLESS OF HOW FAR THE LOADING BAR GETS, THE SCREEN WILL EVENTUALLY TURN BLACK AND START THE REBOOT PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT IT EVER COMPLETING THE PROCESS, RENDERING MY ENTIRE BLUETOOTH RADIO NAVIGATION UNIT COMPLETELY USELESS. NOT EVEN THE USB CHARGER OR AUX INPUT WILL WORK. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT TURNS OUT TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR 2014 COROLLAS AND IT LARGELY BEGAN HAPPENING RIGHT AFTER THE VEHICLES' 36 MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD ENDED. I BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS ALREADY RELEASED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IN REGARDS TO THE MATTER (TSB 0172.16). IT'S ALSO A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR WHEN I MOVED TO CALIFORNIA SO THAT I WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO NAVIGATE HANDS FREE AND SAFELY TALK ON THE PHONE IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS'PER THE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE LAW IN CALIFORNIA. NOW BECAUSE OF THIS HARDWARE ISSUE, MY SAFETY IS BEING JEOPARDIZED. ALSO, BECAUSE THE SCREEN IS CONSTANTLY REBOOTING, IT KEEPS FLASHING ON AND OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING'MAKING IT A SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT.

AIR BAGS, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER CLOCKSPRING/SPIRAL CASSETTE, STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT STAYS ON AND WON'T RESET AFTER THE 15000 MILE OIL CHANGE. AFTER 16000 MILES THE HORN STOPPED WORKING. AT 16900 MILES ON 08/07/2018 THE DRIVER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, AND THE STEERING WHEEL COVER WHERE THE AIRBAG IS IS LOOSE. THE BRAKES AND ALIGNMENT HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND ARE GOOD, BUT SOMETIMES THE WHEELS LOCK AND THE CAR DOESN'T BRAKE WELL, AS IF THE ANTILOCK SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
REAR END COLLISION HAZARD DUE TO DEFECTIVE, POORLY DESIGNED, AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SYSTEMS. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED TWICE DUE TO LACK OF TAIL LIGHTS, WHILE IN MOTION, DRIVING! TOYOTA CLAIMS THE 2014 COROLLA HAS AUTO HEADLIGHTS. WHILE THE SWITCH IS KEPT IN "DRL" DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT MODE THE CAR TRICKS YOU AT NIGHT INTO THINKING THE AUTO HEADLIGHT, SIDE MARKERS AND TAILLIGHTS ARE ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR, WHEN THEY ARE NOT ON. YOU START THE CAR AND THE HEADLIGHTS, AND DASH GAGE LIGHTS COME ON BUT NOTHING ELSE IS LIT. NO TAILIGHTS, NO SIDE LIGHTS. I AM TOLD BY THE DEALER CANADIAN VERSIONS OF THE COROLLA HAVE TRUE AUTO HEADLIGHTS AND MY CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE PROGRAMMED TO WORK AS AN AUTO SYSTEM, AFTER ADDING THE DASH SENSOR. I AM REQUESTING TOYOTA DO THIS TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY HAZARD TO AVOID A REAR END COLLISION ON THIS CAR. ALL OF MY CARS THE LAST 20 YRS HAD AUTO HEADLIGHTS AND WORKED FLAWLESSLY EXCEPT THIS TOYOTA COROLLA. I EVEN PUT A NOTE ON THE DASH TO REMIND ME TO MANUALLY TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH ON, BUT IT IS NOT SEEN IN THE DARK WHEN STARTING THE CAR. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO OTHER THAN APPEAL TO THE NHTSA FOR A COMPLETE REVIEW OF THIS MAJOR MANUFACTURER FLAW.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I TURNED MY COROLLA WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE RADIO DOES NOT TURN ON OR WORK. IT SHOWS A PICTURE OF A MACHINE OF SOME SORT, AND LOOKS LIKE IT IS REBOOTING, BUT ONCE THE "LOADING BAR" GETS TO THE END, THE SCREEN TURNS BLACK AND STARTS THE REBOOT PROCESS OVER AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT EVER COMPLETEING A REBOOT. THE NAVIGATION, RADIO, BLUE TOOTH, CD PLAYER, OR ANYTHING THAT IS DONE THROUGH THE RADIO SCREEN IS NOT FUNCTIONAL.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
TAKATA INFLATORS - THE VEHICLE HIT A CURB AND BLEW THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THE SEAT BELT LIGHT AND AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN FLASHING EVER SINCE ABOUT 65,000 MILES. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT STILL LOCKS. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS FROM THE REAR, SIDE OR FRONT, THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT MAY NOT LOCK. THE HORN LINE DISCONNECTED FROM THE HORN UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS HAPPENED ON 6/15/18 AT 88,585 MILES. THE AIR CONDITIONER HAS A LEAK FROM THE MAIN LINE THAT CONNECTS TO THE SQUARE BOX AT THE BACK OF THE CAR WALL. WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING STILL AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, HOT AIR STARTS BLOWING.

AC BLOWS HOT AIR WHILE IDLING AND TAKES 20 SECONDS TO START BLOWING AFTER IT IS TURNED ON. WHEN IT DOES COME ON IT BARELY BLOWS AIR ON ALL AIR SPEEDS. AT 29,000 MILES AND IN 120 DEGREE WEATHER THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. TOYOTA FORUMS AND CONSUMER REPORTS SHOWS AC PROBLEMS THAT TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT, AND DOES NOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX THESE CARS THAT WERE SOLD WITH FAULTY PARTS. WHY DOES TOYOTA NOT HELP THOSE THAT ARE JUST PAST THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY BUT UNDER 36,000 MILES IN 3 YR OLD CAR? IT IS NOT LIKE I AM TRYING TO GET REPAIR FOR A 2004 COROLLA. PLEASE HELP.
