2013 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

DEC 27 2015 AROUND RENO NV. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES THAT DAY. I WAS BREAKING GENTLY TO COME TO A STOP (BECAUSE OF A STOP SIGN). THE SHIFTER WAS IN "D". WHEN THE CAR SPEED DECREASED TO AROUND 10MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I APPLIED MAXIMUM PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR. THE CAR STOPPED, THE ENGINE WAS IDLING AFTER THE STOP. AFTER THE STOP, EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL, TILL IT HAPPENED THE 2 OTHER TIMES THIS DAY (SAME SCENARIO). DEC 29 2015 IN SOUTH LAKE TAHOE CA. I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 10MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN DOWNTOWN. SHIFTER WAS IN "D". THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP. AT THAT POINT THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN FULL FORCE. THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I APPLIED FULL FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND AT THE SAME SHIFTED IN NEUTRAL. MY CAR STOPPED JUST A COUPLE INCHES OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NOW IN NEUTRAL AND THE CAR HALTED, THE ENGINE IS REDLINING HITTING THE REV LIMITER AND STAYING THERE. I SHIFTED TO "PARK" AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WAITED FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. I STARTED THE ENGINE AND STAYED IN "PARK", IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO RED LINE AND STAYED THERE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED ABOUT 5 SECONDS. I STARTED THE ENGINE A SECOND TIME, SAME THING, ENGINE SHOOTS UP TO RED LINE AND STAY THERE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I STARTED THE ENGINE A THIRD TIME. THIS TIME, THE ENGINE STAYED AT IDLE AND I COULD GO NORMALLY. AT THE TIMES OF THE PROBLEM, THE TEMP. WAS AROUND -1 DEGREE CELSIUS. AFTER THE LAST OCCURRENCE, I STOPPED AND CHECKED IF ANYTHING WAS IN THE WAY OF THE GAS PEDAL. NOTHING WAS IN THE WAY. HAPPENS ONLY AT LOW SPEED, WHEN YOU TRY TO STOP THE CAR. THIS LAST OCCURRENCE DECIDED ME TO WRITE TO YOU BECAUSE THE CAR PUT ME IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND WE VERY LITTLE TIME TO REACT. *JS

WHEN WE GO TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH IT WON'T TURN COMPLETELY TO ALLOW REMOVAL AT TIMES AND YOU HAVE TO START THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO MOVE IT AND IT CAN AFFECT THE SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME. THIS OF COURSE CAN BE A SAFETY PROBLEM.

I LEASED MY CAR IN JUNE 2013 AND ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF LATER THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKES ARE GETTING LOW. I WAS CONFUSED I THOUGHT BRAKES LASTED A LEAST THREE YEARS BRAND NEW OUT THE DEALERSHIP. HE SAID NO IT DEPENDS HOW I DRIVE AND HOW MANY TIMES I STOP. SO I SAID REALLY YOU HAVE CARS COMING IN A YEAR AND HALF LATER THAT HAVE LOW BRAKES ALREADY IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GUYS PUT IN CHEAP BRAKES. HE SAID NO THAT THEIR BRAKES ARE TOP QUALITY BRAKES. SO I SAID OK BUT I WILL WAIT SIX MONTHS. SO HERE WE ARE NOW 2 YEARS INTO MY LEASE AND ABOUT 19500 MILES INTO MY CAR THEY SAID I NEEDED BRAKES. I CALLED PEP BOYS, MIDAS, AND OTHER SHOPS THEY SAID MY BRAKES SHOULDN'T DIE THAT FAST. I SAID I THOUGHT SO TOO BUT THE TOYOTA INSIST THAT THEIR BRAKES ARE EXCELLENT AND THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR BRAKES TO DIE AT ABOUT 2 YEARS IN.

2013 TOYOTA COROLLA WANDERS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE MOVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. SCARRY TO DRIVE ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY NEXT TO A RIG DUE TO SWAYING AND INSTABILITY .CORRECTION IN THE STEERING WHEEL RESULTS IN THE VEHICLE DRIFTING INTO THE ADJACENT LANES. THIS STEERING ISSUE MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ALIGNMENT ON THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED AND IS ALL WITHIN TOLERANCES. THE TIRES ARE BRAND NEW AND PROPERLY INFLATED

WHEN I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE RADIO/NAVIGATION SYSTEM TURNS OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND RESTARTS IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY. THE RADIO/NAVIGATION ALSO FREEZES AND YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO UNFREEZE IT. IT DOES THIS ON ALL TYPE OF ROADS, SMOOTH OR ROUGH, STRAIGHT OR CURVED. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAY ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR A FIX FROM TOYOTA USA. AFTER THE THIRD COMPLAINT THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE HEAD UNIT AND IN A WEEK THE PROBLEM RETURNED. I SUSPECT ITS A PROBLEM IN THE WIRING HARNESS.

2013 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ACCELERATION AND BRAKE SYSTEM ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HAD HER RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND RELEASED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. WHEN SHE PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IT ACCELERATED BACKWARDS ACROSS THE PAVEMENT, HIT THE CURB, ACCELERATED FORWARD, WENT ACROSS ANOTHER PAVED LANE, HIT THE CURB AND ENDED ON THE GRASS. THE VEHICLE HAD THREE BLOWN TIRES AND A SEVERELY DAMAGED REAR BUMPER. *JB

DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND A/C COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING ON MY 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA. WILL NOT WORK AGAIN. TOOK TO DEALER WHO STATED NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. TOOK TO MECHANIC WHO FOUND THE A/C COMPRESSOR SOLENOID IS NOT WORKING. ALSO THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE A/C AMPLIFIER. THEY SUSPECT A FAULTY A/C AMPLIFIER AND MAY NEED PROGRAMMING. ESTIMATED $1600-$1700 TO FIX.

MY VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY IT ALMOST STALLS I THOUGHT THE BATTERY WAS BAD BUT EVEN AFTER REPLACING IT IM HAVING THE SAME ISSUES TOYOTA DOES NOT ADMIT HAVING ANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. ALSO THE AIR COPRESSOR IS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED BUT THE VEHICLE IS SO NEW ITS HARD TO FIND THE PART.
