THE HEADLIGHTS OF THE NEW TOYOTA COROLLA 2014+ ARE OVERLY BRIGHT WHEN DRIVING IN FRONT OF ONE OR WHEN ONE IS PASSING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. IT IS BLINDING. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT IS ALWAYS A COROLLA WITH LOW BEAMS THAT HAVE BRIGHT WHITE BLINDING BEAMS. PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO USE NORMAL BULBS OR NORMAL BRIGHTNESS.

THE LOW BEAM PART OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IN THE COROLLA SPORTS 2014 IS IRREPLACEABLE. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE COROLLA 2014S ON THE ROAD WITH ATLEAST 1 OF THE LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING AND IT COULD BE A PROBLEM EITHER WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR THE WIRING MUST BE GETTING PINCHED AS IT HAS NO GUARD FROM GETTING PINCHED IF IT'S HARNESSED VIA THE FRONT OF THE CAR NEAR THE BUMPER. I AM PERSONALLY TRYING TO FIGHT THIS PROBLEM BUT THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HELP ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V043000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE CAR SOMETIMES HAS A HESITATION PROBLEM FROM A DEAD STOP; ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. THIS CREATES A SCARY SITUATION DUE TO I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN SO I HAVE TO WAIT QUITE AWHILE FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO SPREAD OUT MUCH FURTHER THEN NORMAL (ABOUT 50 CAR LENGTHS) SOMETIMES THIS IS NOT PRACTICAL SO I HAVE TO CHANCE IT & HOPE NOT TO GET BROADSIDED. THE DEALERSHIP IS OF NO HELP & I DOUBT IF THEY HAVE WRITTEN IT DOWN THE 2 TIMES I REPORTED IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED OVER 50 TIMES OVER THE LAST 21 MONTHS & STARTED IN MONTH # 1. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT TOYOTA HAD A NEW STYLE TRANSMISSION & THAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM BUT THAT IS DOUBTFUL BECAUSE THE ENGINE RPM'S DON'T COME UP. THE SYMPTOMS APPEAR TO BE A FUEL STARVING PROBLEM.
