2023 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

When it is raining, wipers are on, and I stop at the traffic light, start/stop function turns on when I press the pedal all the way down, but when I release it to drive again, the engine won't start back and the message appears on screen "engine stopped, steering power low", which is scary because the cars at the back starts honking, then I turn the car into parking, switch the car off and turn it back on and then I can drive. Apparently, it is a know problem with this model but Toyota refuse the accept that they know about it and they do not have the solution. It has happened to me 5 times in 3 months, since I bought the car.

Low beam lights have a shadow that moves as car turns or goes up/down hills. When driving in dark back roads I see a line of shadow about 30’ ahead of me blacking out entire view. When high beams are on the shadow disappears. Bought car yesterday. Advised salesman. Will make appt to have it looked at. I have a video but it is failing to download.

Low beam headlights have shadows that prevent me from seeing all roadway at night. vehicle has presented at the dealership in 6/07/23, but they failed to correct this potentially safety hazard issue. The issue did cause me to hit a piece of wood in the HYW causing an accident with a result of 2 damage tires and 1ring. I will present the vehicle again in 10-11 -23, but in advance one of the guys told me. is something that they don't have nothing to do because is something normal in some corolla. that alert me to start my investigation. Now I can see, I don't are the only one with this problem. Is a new car.

My vehicle was stopped at a stoplight with the start stop engine feature engaged. I had my windshield wipers on, and it was raining heavily, when suddenly that car turned completely off and started emitting a loud beep. There was a power steering error on my dash and the wheel locked itself completely, the car would not restart at all. There was a message on my dash to firmly press the brake, and the car would restart, but pressing the brake did nothing. I was stuck in the middle of an intersection in a vehicle that is less than two months old in the middle of traffic, and live in a city, where it rains continuously for several months out of the year. Toyota is aware of this issue, but there aren't any fixes available for a vehicle that will turn itself off when using the windshield wipers while it's raining.

Engine stop and start while stopped in traffic 2 times on Saturday and vehicle lane assist seems to be off a bit- pulling to the right a bit. Also idles weird. Charges engine weird times when parked or idling.

Tail lamps on this car are very small and dim compared to other vehicles. Have been told by other drivers that they are not very visible. Tail lamps are working correctly, this seems to be a problem with the design of the tail lamps.

I was driving during the rain with the wipers on (intermittent) and the auto start/stop feature engaged. I got to a red light and stopped. I lifted my foot off the brake to press the accelerator and then the car didn't restart. The instrument panel then said low steering power and another message about the brake. A loud tone was continuously emitted. I pressed the brake and put the car in park and was able to restart it. I was scared because traffic behind me was honking for me to proceed and I was not able to at first.

This is a recurring problem since buying the vehicle new... now at ~7,500 miles. Problem occurs on state highways (North Carolina country roads). While Lane Tracing Assist is active at 45 mph - 60 mph, the Lane Tracing Assist works fine and as expected on large radius state highway curves, but when it comes to smaller radius curves, the Lane Tracing Assist takes the turn in an overly aggressive manner. It wants to cross the median on curves to the left, and it wants to run off the road on curves to the right. The lane departure warning sounds in both instances, so the car recognizes it is departing the lane. I am able to maintain control to keep the car generally in its lane, but I have to actively and physically fight the steering system to do so.

When the headlights are on Low, not High beam, there is a dark horizontal and vertical streak (shadow) in the illuminated area in front of the vehicle. The dark area looks like an L turned on it's side to the right. It is the same for both right and left headlights. This shadow area prevents full illumination of the roadway ahead of the vehicle. This also is a distraction and causes the driver's eyes to drift to the dark areas and further degrades nighttime driving safety. Per Toyota Corolla Cross Forum, this problem is across the board for the Cross vehicle, not just mine. When the lights are on Low and you hold a paper in front of either light, the dark streak is easily seen.

I was at a red light on a busy highway. All of a sudden my car stopped working: I got a message on the dashboard along the lines of "engine power low" and "press brake hard to restart". But even if I pressed the brake hard, nothing would happen, and my car wouldn't move forward. In fact, because I was on a slight uphill, releasing the brake pedal made my car go backwards. The steering wheel also felt locked. I was panicked because the light turned green and a lot of cars were waiting behind me. I put my hazard lights on, and kept trying to press the brake hard to no avail. Finally after about a minute, I put my car in park, and turned off my car. I then restarted it, and it suddenly worked. This was a super scary experience, and very disappointing since my car is new as of two months ago.
