2020 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

An engine maintenance required warning displayed on the car dashboard. Crown Toyota Ontario performed diagnostic inspection and detected that code P268115 - engine coolant bypass valve was defective. Based on research the P268115 - engine coolant bypass valve is a common failure to Toyota Corolla, RAV 4 and Camry by car owners for models manufactured in 2019 - 2023. Toyota Ontario advised that the defect is not covered by warranty. My corolla is a 2020 model with 77,379 mileage on it.

The car will need a new coolant by-pass valve ($663 installed). This is a problem that seems to be affecting more cars than usual as it is in many websites and social media portals, but it's not recognized to be recalled!! A $70.00usd part for $663.00 installed??

I had called Toyota colonial dealership in Milford CT. After briefly speaking with the service representative, he advised that it’s most likely the engine coolant bypass valve. He said that it is common with my car models. I did some extra research and found out that many others were having the same issue from only having the car for a few years.

The coolant bypass valve on my 2020 Corolla SE has started to go bad. The repairs are over $700. Apparently, this is a well known and documented issue with not just the Corolla but also the RAV-4 models. No recalls have been issues despite this being a known problem.

The coolant valve in the engine began malfunctioning and leaking next the the battery. I took it to the dealership and they said that this was a common maintenance issue, but it is do to the part being faulty overall. This is a widespread issue with this make and model of the vehicle and the part has not been recalled. Leakage could possibly cause the engine to overheat and the result could be catastrophic.

Coolant bypass valve malfunction, leaking coolant, engine maintenance required sign pops up on dash around 60k miles

Engine maintenance light came on after turning on air conditioner. Vehicle information: warning light came on at 56,800 miles on 2020 Toyota Corolla, no after market modifications to vehicle. I took vehicle to Toyota dealership for diagnostic testing. Conclusion: coolant bypass valve faulty causing leaks (this can cause overheating, stalling, increased emissions, and total engine failure and also allows coolant to leak into and damage surrounding engine components, including a vehicle's electrical system, the complaint relays). Fortunately, I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY when I bought the vehicle new, which covered the repairs. The faulty coolant bypass valve was replaced at the Toyota dealership. Had I not purchased the extended warranty, I would of been out of pocket for said repairs.

My car is at around 42,000 miles and has had an engine maintenance light on. I take it in and it’s a defective coolant bypass valve issue. The dealership tried to charge me 800 dollars to replace it. It’s an apparent fault on their part since it has been an apparent problem with other toyota corollas with a lawsuit already filed.

THE CAR IS 41.000 MILES. WATER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED WHEN SUPPOSEDLY MUST TO LAST UNTIL 100.000 MILES.
