2023 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

Some of the times when the function Autostart/Stop is on and the windshield wipers are active the car shuts down and throws engine lights on the car and the car won’t start after releasing the brakes, the car panics , and only will start again when moving from D to Park again and pressing the button .

Sunday 10/22/23 while idling and brakes engaged at red light. Engine failure again at 11,619 miles. Had to put in park and restart vehicle and put in drive. This is the 4th time in 11 months. It idles weird as well.

Coming home from work at 9:40pm a deer hit my car. I got no notification from my car about an object near my vehicle. I stopped my car lights were flashing and the operator on my car assist came on about detecting an accident. My cab filled with smoke and a funny smell. I thought the car was on fire. So I jumped out ambulance and cops showed up. My car got towed to Clifton collision in Clifton Texas. Later I found out that the air bags should have deployed . All my seat belts are locked up in the front and back. But no air bag deployment. The air bag light is on. After 4 months of my vehicle in the shop with me making payments and insurance payments still no vehicle back for me. My car sits at Toyota in Waco. Jeff hunter toyota waiting on emcu for the air bags with no eta. All the seatbelts had to be cut out of the car and the air bags replaced. I have called Toyota advocate to try to resolve my problem and still no help from them. This is a major safety concern that could take someone’s life.

My car has a recall from the driver airbag maynot deployed. I scheduled an appointment with the dealership for fixing my car, I dropped off my car. 20 minutes later they call me and said it’s not available to get fix. I asked them what should I do, they said they don’t know. I called to the Recall center, they asked me to call to Toyota Brand. Then the girl at Toyota brand told me to call to the dealership. I don’t feel safe when my car has a recall on driver airbag has a problem. What if I got into the accident? Who will be the one has a responsibility for that? Also it’s a brand new car. And they said they don’t know anything or even tried to help me with another safer car. I feel unsafe when I driving within knowing that my driver airbag might not be able to help me of I get in a crash!

I bought this vehicle 3 months prior to your letter that reached me mid July 2023 about a safety recall due to it being a safety issue and telling me to NOT let anyone sit in the passenger seat due to major safety concerns with the airbag. Being a couple of months old 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross and that it had taken me 3 years to find a vehicle to purchase (with Covid and no cars on any lots) I complied and put the vehicle in my garage awaiting more info to come. This left me carless but at least I was safe. In a bit the dealer called and said they had the necessary parts to replace.They did supposedly fix 1 although dealing with Takata I have no 100% assurance the parts or fixing was done correctly. Then shortly another letter came saying the driver's side also was affected and TO NOT DRIVE IT FOR SAFETY REASONS AGAIN!!I had to have surgery at Mayo Clinic and had to keep my appts and trips back and forth at my expense!! I had to rent a car for 4 days for this trip.The dealer also confirmed the problems with the car. I also know of the same problems in 2015 and much the same scene with Takata and faulty parts and a billion penalty they acquired.When filling this out it was stated under my VIN no."unrepaired recall info was not found for this VIN. Why am I getting letters from the manufacturer and they state the driver's side is unsafe and defects in the airbag(s) inflators have risks of deaths and injuries when deployed.Deployed chemicals used to inflate the airbag use an ammonium nitrate based propellent without a drying agent in their metal cartridge."PLEASE ADVISE NOW AS THIS DRIVER SIDE HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED." The dealer is the only place that inspected the one side-passenger-as no fix or parts-exist for driver's side now AND I AM MOST UNHAPPY THAT IT IS NOT STATED ON MY ACCOUNT THAT IT NEEDS MORE WORK AND TO NOT DRIVE IT.I do not recall any light or messages showing but then again I have only driven my BRAND NEW SUV a few times and then it has been garaged.

It was raining. The adaptive cruise control was engaged. The system did not sense the car in front and keeps moving at set speed. It happen at least three times during the trip. I have to disengage the cruise control or hit the brake to keep the car from hitting the car in front. I looked at the in car cruise control monitor. It did not detected any car in front. Even thought there was a car in front. In my previous car with adaptive cruise control. If weather was preventing the safety system from operating normally. A warning would pop up and disengage the adaptive cruise control. No such warning with the Corolla. The adaptive cruise control seems to be operating normally once the rain has lighten up.

Problem with driver airbag poses a serious risk to life. Toyota does not have a repair for it
