2020 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

Check engine light is giving a false positive. There is something wrong with the coolant bypass valve. I checked online and this is not an isolated event.

I own 2020 corolla le. It has 50k miles. There is a message that keeps coming up in the infotainment screen and hinders the navigation information especially when i am looking for directions and evey second counts and not being able to act when the exit appearscan cause an accident. The message is caused by a dcm failure. Toyota should never allow a message like that pop up every time on the navigation screen. It keeps saying “ device connected not supported “ every few seconds.

The wipers keep stopping during use. I have to switch speeds to get it running again. Very dangerous when raining.

Engine coolant valve is broken. Part of power train as it cools circuits for the power train.

The Engine Coolant Bypass Valve Short in the vehicle has malfunctioned. This appears to be widespread issue not only in the Corolla, but in the Camry and RAV4, and appears to affect model years 2019-2024. This issue caused coolant leakage, has the potential to cause issues with the engine, and affects the A/C/Heating systems as well. There were no warning signs prior to the failure, and the car had just passed a multi point inspection 4 days prior to the failure. The problem has been reproduced by my local Toyota dealership.

At 4 years and 1/2 old car 2020 Corolla XSE an Engine Maintenance Required SEE DEALER light turned on. Did diagnostic with OBD 2 scanner at two locations auto body shop and Uto zone. Nothing appears. It is in fact a NEEDED future recall since thousands if not more people have encountered the same. It is a Coolant By Pass Valve. Cost is only $99.53 + tax at dealer. Problem is that should be under warranty or extended warranty or recall. Dealer likes to charge $800 (180-200 for diagnostic, $110 part, $400 labor. Part only takes 30 minutes to install. I should be able to buy at dealer for $110 and have them install for free or pay 30 minutes of work time = $85. 1 hour is about $175. So instead of trying to be billed $800 I should only be billed for $85 labor (30 minutes) + $110 part = Brand total of $105 USD. My daughter [XXX] and I, [XXX] (dad) bought the car at Longo Toyota El Monte, CA 91731. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Coolant bypass valve failure. Dealer (Atkins Kroll, Toyota Guam) is conveniently charging me over $600 for repair for a common issue for vehicles of this generation.

Known issue in certain Toyota models and years that the coolant bypass valve fails causing a "Engine Maintence is Required. See Dealer." Toyota is well aware of the issue but has yet to fix the problem as driving with a failed coolant part for too long could cause overheating.

My engine maintenance required screen came on in my car. When I ran the diagnostic, they stated that the coolant bypass valve needs to be replaced in order to prevent the engine from overheating. This seems to happen on all of the 2020 and 2021 Toyota Corollas.

Maintenance required please see dealer message pops up and cannot be dismissed. Coolant sensor bypass valve is damaged.
