2023 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

Headlights on the left side especially have dark shadows. I took it back to dealership to get adjusted. To my surprise they layed a towel over my lights and said yes they could see dark lines but there were no way to correct the dark shadows, that's the way the 2023 Corollas were designed. I've seen videos on you tube showing the problem on a 2022 Corolla. To me it's a safety hazard. Driving in the city at night is very upsetting when turning left because it appears like something is there because of the dark lines, it's so bad my wife will not drive the car at night. If I had know the lights were this bad I never would have bought the car. I wish I could sell this car without taking a $5000.00 loss. It also has a new style radio or intertainment system ( in a word TERRIBLE) no buttons except for one - on- off and volume up and down . To listen to the radio you have to go through two to three menus at lease you have to take your eyes off the road for long periods of time. It's the worst radio when navigating . I can't believe toyota made a car like this Corolla. I always thought Toyota made the best cars up until now. Next year I plan on trading it in and getting a Honda Civic. I'll never buy another Toyota.

Vehicle randomly stops on the road, warning power steering low, engine shut off. In the middle of traffic

It was the first day driving my brand new 2023 Corolla Cross XLE AWD to work in downtown Washington, DC. I pulled up to stoplight and the auto start/stop turned off the engine like normal. After about 20 seconds at the stoplight, the car started one long beep that wouldn’t shut off and my dashboard screen said “engine stopped, press brake firmly to restart" and "low power steering.” The check engine light was also illuminated. I pressed the brake firmly but the car did not restart. I was blocking downtown traffic and tried to turn the wheel to move closer to the curb, but the steering wheel would not turn. I tried to push the on/off switch with no result. I then shifted it into park and pushed the button to turn off the engine. I pushed it again immediately but the car did not restart. I waited a few seconds and pushed it again and the car started. I am reading online in a Corolla Cross Forum that it seems to be a problem when the windshield wipers are on. Interestingly, it had just begun to rain that morning and I had turned on the wipers. Since then I have turned off the auto stop/start feature each time I start the car. It is currently with the dealership so they can try to figure out the problem.

When the vehicle comes to a stop at a traffic light, engine turns off. It appears to occur when it is raining and the windshield wipers are on. After 1-3 minutes, receive error messages: Engine stopped. Power Steering Low. Push brake firmly to restart engine." Check Engline Light is on. Have to put car in park, turn off the ignition, wait a minute, and turn back on to go. Each time the windshield wipers were activated. I brought the vehicle to a Toyota service center but they were not able to reproduce the problem. This creates a safety problem for driver and everybody on the road.

I drove to a restaurant this evening. After starting the car and backing up to go back home, an engine light came on. I was trying to make a left hand turn out of the restaurant on a busy road when the car completely shut off in the middle of the road of oncoming traffic. Someone stopped to help me move the car. I turned the car back on, the engine icon did not come on, and I was able to drive home without any problems. This is very worrisome and potentially very dangerous. I can't imagine what would have happened had this been on the highway.

I drove my vehicle normally and it shut off while driving in the city streets a message came up low steering power and it said firmly press brake to restart it never restarted until I put into park and tried again very terrifying experience as other cars were going fast all while the car was giving a loud beep car has less than 300 miles just bought new from dealer
