2014 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

MOISTURE AND MOLD INSIDE CAR FOR NO REASON. THE CAR HAS SEEN NO SPILLAGE AND NO OPENED WINDOWS DURING RAIN YET THE INTERIOR IS ALWAYS FOGGED UP SINCE THE WEEK IT WAS PURCHASED AND THE CAR TRAPS MOISTURE AND CAUSES MOLD IN THE VENTS ON THE FLOOR INSIDE THE DOORWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CODES WERE RESET. THE MECHANIC REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (BILL WALSH TOYOTA, 4000 N COLUMBUS STREET, OTTAWA, IL 61350) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 181200125. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL NOR WAS IT UNDER WARRANTY. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,777.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE VEHICLE DOOR WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE, BUT THE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT HAD TO USE HIS KEY TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE INSIDE THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR USING THE DOOR HANDLE AND THE DOOR REFUSED TO OPEN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO DCH TOYOTA OF MILFORD (300 FORTUNE BLVD, MILFORD, MA 01757) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR ACTUATOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED TO PAY A PORTION OF THE REPAIR COST DUE TO THE WARRANTY BEING EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. *TT *TR

THIS IS SPORADIC, I WILL TRY TO START THE CAR AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO TURN OVER, AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT DOES. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. WHEN DRIVING OVER SPEEDS OF SIXTY, THE CAR WANTS TO 'WANDER' TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAVE READ THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE BEFORE 2010, TALK OF RECALL IN 2010 BECAUSE OF THE POWER STEERING FAILURE. THIS IS HAPPENED VERY OFTEN SO I CAN'T PICK A DAY, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTH

THE FRONT DOORS NO LONGER LOCK BY PRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AT ALL, EVEN IF THE LOCK IS PRESSED BY HAND. IT STARTED DOING IT EVERY FEW DAYS, BUT NOW THE DOORS HAVE STOPPED ALTOGETHER. WE WERE ABLE TO FIND OUT THAT THE ACTUATORS ARE FAULTY. THE CAR IS A 2014 AND THE PROBLEM IS SOMETHING WE HAD NO CONTROL OVER. THERE ARE REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH 2014 COROLLAS AS WELL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

THE DISPLAY SCREEN FOR THE RADIO, NAVIGATION, MAINTENANCE REMINDERS, HANDS FREE PHONE USE, ETC. SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHEN STARTED MY CAR. THE SCREEN ONLY SHOWS AN ICON WITH A STATUS BAR THAT MAKES IT APPEAR THAT THE COMPUTER THAT OPERATES THIS SYSTEM IS TRYING TO RESTART. THE SCREEN ITSELF WORKS, BUT THE COMPUTER WON'T BOOT-UP. THIS IS DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, AND PREVENTS THE USE OF ALL THE SAFETY FEATURES THAT RELY ON IT'S FUNCTION. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE READING ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2014-2016 TOYOTA VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE PREMIUM ENTUNE SYSTEM WITH NAVIGATION. THEY ADMITTEDLY STATE THAT THE FUGITSU COMPONENT IS FAULTY AND THEY HAVE SINCE STARTED USING A PANASONIC UNIT TO AVOID FUTURE PROBLEMS. TOYOTA PRICES THE REPLACEMENT PART AT $3450. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE CAR OWNER, BUT RATHER A FAULTY PART THAT WAS USED DURING THE MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE POST OF ONE TOYOTA TECHNICIAN, TOYOTA HAS REPLACED 1 MILLION OF THESE UNITS, BUT UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE REPAIR COST BECAUSE TOYOTA DOES NOT THINK THIS MALFUNCTION IS A SAFETY ISSUE A RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE HANDS-FREE FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK AND THE SCREEN IS VISUALLY DISTRACTING AS IT CONSTANTLY POWERS ON AND OFF. IT ALSO MEANS AN INOPERABLE NAVIGATION SYSTEM COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS NOT HAVING THE HANDS-FREE CALLING AND TEXTING. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET THE RADIO, DO A HARD RESET BY HOLDING THE POWER BUTTON AND REPLACING THE BATTERY. NOTHING WORKS. I CALLED TOYOTA AND GOT ROUTED AROUND AND HUNG UP ON. MECHANIC QUOTED ME MORE THAN $3500 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE WHEN IT IS A KNOWN ENTUNE DEFECT AFFECTING MANY MODELS ACROSS MANY YEARS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND RIGHT SIDE OF THE BODY. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING FACILITY AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

PURCHASED CAR ON 2014 ON 02/21/2018, 4 YEARS LATER THE CAR SLOWS DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I PULL OVER TO THE SIDE MEDIAN AND TOW THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER. THEY EXPLAINED THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED IT WILL NEED A NEW ONE FOR 6K OR REBUILT FOR 3K. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN TO A 4 YEAR OLD TOYOTA .

THE DISPLAY SCREEN FOR THE RADIO, NAVIGATION, MAINTENANCE REMINDERS, HANDS FREE PHONE USE, BACK-UP CAMERA, ETC. SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHEN STARTED MY CAR. THE SCREEN ONLY SHOWS AN ICON WITH A STATUS BAR THAT MAKES IT APPEAR THAT THE COMPUTER THAT OPERATES THIS SYSTEM IS TRYING TO RESTART. THE SCREEN ITS SELF WORKS, BUT THE COMPUTER WON'T BOOT-UP. THIS IS DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, AND PREVENTS THE USE OF ALL THE SAFETY FEATURES THAT RELY ON IT'S FUNCTION.

I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE HANDS-FREE FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK AND THE REVERSE CAMERA DOES NOT WORK. ALSO AN INOPERABLE NAVIGATION SYSTEM COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE TOO. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET THE RADIO, DO A HARD RESET BY HOLDING THE POWER BUTTON AND DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. NOTHING WORKS. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY QUOTED ME MORE THAN $3600 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
