2014 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

MY COLLISION WAS A FRONT BUMBLER TO REAR NUMBER COLLISION WITH NO PASSENGER IN THE CAR YET BOTH MY SIDE AIRBAGS AND BOTH PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY SIDE AIRBAGS INJURED MY ARM AND THE COMBINED TOTAL OF AIRBAG DAMAGE WAS $6,000 IN REPAIRS AND CAUSED THE CAR TO BE TOTALED.

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM IS DIM. HIGH BEAM WORKS FINE. HAD MECHANIC REPLACE ENTIRE HEADLAMP WITH NO IMPROVEMENT

CAR WILL REV UP TO 4000 RPM AND GET STUCK WHILE IN MOTION. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS WITH A COLD ENGINE AND IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.

I HAVE DIFFICULTY WHEN LOCKING/UNLOCKING MY VEHICLE WITH MY REMOTE KEY FOB AND MAIN LOOK SYSTEM FROM ALL DOORS OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON IS PUSHED ON THE VEHICLE'S TWO FRONT DOORS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK WITH THE OTHER DOORS ON THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS THE ONLY DOOR THAT MALFUNCTIONS ALL OTHER DOORS OPERATE EFFICIENTLY. THIS LOCKING MALFUNCTION OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. THE DRIVER'S DOOR CAN BE LOCKED MANUALLY BY PUSHING THE LOCK INWARDS OR USING THE CAR KEY TO MANUALLY LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOOR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE'S LOCKING SYSTEM IS A PRIMARY CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE'S OWNER, AND THE OWNER'S PROPERTY INSIDE THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS OLD. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH OTHER TOYOTA COROLLA OWNERS (INCLUDING YEAR MODELS OF 2014 AND 2015) WHO COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUES.

JSD RECALL. CAR INVOLUNTARILY ACCELORATES. BOUNCING OF RMP, REVVING AND STICKING AT HIGH REV. TEAM TOYOTA DEEMED THE TRANSMISSION UNSERVICEABLE AND REFUSED TO DO THE JSD RECALL. WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING, INTERSECTION ACCELLORATION CAR REVS AND SLOWS DOWN. ADVISED THE CVT TRANS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 5500.00. CAR IS AT 55,000 MILES AND IS APPARENTLY OVER THE 5 YEAR FACTORY WARRANTEE BY 6 DAYS AT TIME IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE. ISSUE ONLY STARTED HAPPENING IN OCTOBER 2018, 1 MONTH BEFORE THE FACTORY WARRANTEE RAN OUT. I WAS OUT OF TOWN FOR 10 DAYS AND BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE UPON MY RETURN AND WAS ADVISED THE CVT TRANS NEEDED REPLACING BEFORE THEY WOULD DO A RECALL. PICKED CAR UP AND IT WAS 500 TIMES WORSE THAN WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF 4 DAYS EARLIER. I HAVE OWNED MORE THAN 2 TOYOTAS AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. I AM MORE THAN UNHAPPY WITH THIS SITUATION AND FEE THE 5 YEAR/60,000 MILE FACTORY WARRANTEE SHOULD BE HONORED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO AVOID AN ANIMAL IN THE ROAD AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A POLICE IMPOUND LOT AND LATER RETRIEVED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED.

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.

TAKATA RECALL, WHEN DRIVING TO CRESTLINE CA. THE TRACTION CONTROL LOCK UP THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL AT 60 MPH AND MADE ME HIT THE INSIDE GUARDRAIL AGAIN THE WHEEL LOCKED UP AT 50 MPH AND AGAIN AT 45 MPH I HAD TO DRIVE AT 20 MPH THIS HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING ON A ROAD GOING UP HILL ON LEFT HAND CURVES, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLICKER EACH TIME THE WHEEL LOCKED UP I WAS NOT ABLE TO DISENGAGE THE TRACTION CONTROL. WHEN I REACHED A SHELL STATION A PERSON TOLL ME IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE LOW TIRE PRESSURE, I CHECKED TIRE PRESSURE ON EACH TIRE 21, 23, 24, 26 WAS THE READING ON THE TIRES, MY TIRE LOW PRESSURE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. I FILLED THE THE TIRES AND SEEM TO FIX THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THE WHEEL LOCKING UP. THAN TWO WEEKS LATER I WAS PARKING AT UCI HOSPITAL PARKING STRUCTURE PULLING IN A PARKING SPOT THE BRAKES WENT TOTALLY OUT CAUSING ME TO HIT THE PARKING STRUCTURE, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR (ALL THE WAY DOWN). I WAS DOING LESS THAN 5 MPH AND THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T GO OFF ALSO AGAIN NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND ANY INDICATION THAT THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG.

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.

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.
