THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, A STRONG GLARE DEVELOPED FROM THE SUN REFLECTING OFF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CAUSING THE VISIBILITY OF THE SPEEDOMETER TO BE AFFECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO ALTER THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER LEFT AND RIGHT. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD DELAYED ACCELERATION AND THE VECHICLE ABNORMALLY VIBRATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE SURFACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

IN THE PAST YEAR THIS CAR HAS EXHIBITED MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES (52 DOCUMENTED) OF DELAYED ACCELERATION FROM 1 TO 3 SECONDS WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I HAVE TRIED TO GET TOYOTA TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM UNSUCCESSFULLY AS THE CAR HAS BEEN COVERED UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY THROUGHOUT THIS TIME. MULTIPLE DRIVERS HAVE ATTESTED TO THE DEFECT. IN NCDS ARBITRATION TOYOTA CLAIMED PAUSES WERE DUE TO THE "TRACTION CONTROL" OR "ELECTRONIC VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL" KICKING IN AND REDUCING POWER TO THE WHEELS. THIS COULDN'T BE THE CASE AS IN NONE OF THE INCIDENTS DID THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WHICH COME ON WHEN THOSE FEATURES ACTIVATE LIGHT UP. MOST OF THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED ON DRY, ASPHALT, AND STRAIGHT ROADS AND NON-HURRIED DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND RANDOM WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

I WAS STANDING IN A CROSS OVER AWAITING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED. A WOMAN SWERVED TO MISS HITTING A CAR AND T-BONED ME IN THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR. MY HEAD FLEW TO THE RIGHT, THAN TO THE LEFT, MY HEAD HIT THE CAR FRAME OF THE DOOR ON THE LEFT AND THEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAG WAS DELAYED IN GOING OFF WHICH RESULTED IN MY HEAD HITTING THE CAR FRAME, THE AIRBAG BLEW OFF IN MY EAR AND I HAVE LOST MY HEARING IN MY LEFT EAR PERMANENTLY. *TR

AFTER MAKING A RIGHT COMING OFF INTERSTATE 95, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT STRAIGHTEN UP. IT CAUSED THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR; THE CAR THEN WENT OVER THE MEDIAN WHICH CAUSED IT TO BLOW OUT THE TIRE, DESTROY THE RIM AND DAMAGE THE AXLE, AT MINIMUM. *TR

THERE IS A CASE WHERE MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2013 HAS AN INACCURATE READING OF ITS FUEL RANGE. BELOW YOU CAN FIND AN INSTANCE OF THE SEQUENCE FOR REPRODUCING THE GLITCH. STEP 1: COROLLA FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING A LITTLE MORE THAN 1/4 OF THE FUEL TANK CAPACITY. I FILLED UP THE TANK, AFTER THAT, THE FUEL RANGE WAS SHOWING 294 MILES,IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY, AND THE AVERAGE FUEL CONSUMPTION WAS 26.9 MILES/GALLON. STEP 2: TRAVEL ABOUT 30 MILES WITH THE CAR. FUEL RANGE WAS SHOWING 265 MILES. STEP 3: FILL UP THE TANK AGAIN. STEP 4: TRAVEL WITH THE CAR 1 MILE. THE FUEL RANGE SHOWED 264 MILES. IT HAS NOT RESET THE FUEL RANGE YET. STEP 5: TRAVEL 50 MILES MORE. THE FUEL RANGE HAS NOT RESET ACCORDING THE FUEL GAUGE YET. THE FUEL RANGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THEN, GO TO STEP 1, THE FUEL RANGE RESET ACCORDING TO THE FUEL GAUGE AFTER TRAVEL A FEW METERS. I HAVE REPEATED THIS SEQUENCE OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND I HAVE HAD THE SAME RESULT. IT MEANS, AS YOU FOLLOW THE SEQUENCE, THE FUEL RANGE HAS AN INACCURATE READING.I FOUND THIS GLITCH WHEN I FILLED UP THE TANK BEFORE TANKING A TRIP OUT OF MY CITY AND THE TANK WAS ALMOST FULL. *JS
