2014 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I ALSO NOTICE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN, THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE WOULD SEEM TO STALL ALMOST LIKE A DEAD SPOT. THEN WHEN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES THE ENGINE WOULD CATCH AND JUMP FORWARD. ALMOST HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. THIS CAR ACCELERATES AT TIMES WHEN BRAKING AND HESITATES WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS. I ALSO NOTICED WHEN I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT, THE CAR MOVED BACKWARDS AFTER TAKING MY FEET OFF THE BRAKES. IT COULD'VE HIT THE CAR IN BACK OF US. I ASKED THE SALE LADY, IF THIS CAR WAS APART OF THE RECALL AND SHE TOLD ME THAT IF IT WAS THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE TO FIX IT BEFORE THEY SOLD IT. I HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 2 WEEKS. I HOPE THIS CAR DOESN'T CAUSE MY FAMILY AND SOMEONE ELSE'S FAMILY HARM. BIG SAFETY ISSUE! BIG SAFETY ISSUE! *JS

I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT 1 MILE PER HOUR AND I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO STOP MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T STOP! THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND MY CAR WENT THROUGH MY FENCE INTO MY BACKYARD. I TRIED IN VAIN TO STOP MY CAR, I KEPT PRESSING DOWN ON MY BRAKE, (5 TIMES) WITH NO SUCCESS. I FINALLY PUT MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND IT FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. I WAS EXTREMELY SHAKEN UP SINCE I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE! I CHECKED MY CAR FOR DAMAGES, I NOTICED THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE VIEW MIRROR WAS DAMAGED AND THERE WAS OTHER DAMAGE UNDER MY CAR. MY CAR IS ONLY 3 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 950 MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANYTHING LIKE THIS. THIS HAPPENED ON NOVEMBER 27, 2014, THANKSGIVING DAY AT 10:00 AM. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE CLOUDY WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 34 DEGREES. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS. AFTER PUTTING VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT, VEHICLE STALLED. AFTER RESTARTING AND PULLING BACK INTO PARKING SPOT VEHICLE STALLED. I SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IN PARK AND AFTER 5 SECONDS VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AND RENTAL CAR WAS NECESSARY TO GET HOME. TOYOTA REP SAID THAT IT WAS THE COMPUTER. EITHER HAD TO BE UPDATED OR REBOOTED (DTC P2645 AND OR P265B WERE DOCUMENTED AS THE CAUSE). *TR

VEHICLE DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK AFTER PUMPING GAS AT STATION. VEHICLE WAS NOT STARTED AT THE TIME AND KEYS WERE IN CAR (KEY-LESS SYSTEM WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK DOORS WHEN KEYS ARE IN VEHICLE). AFTER ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WITHOUT SUCCESS, THE PASSENGER DOOR DID THE SAME. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF WAITING THE PASSENGER DOOR FINALLY UNLOCKED. THE VEHICLE STARTED HOWEVER, THERE WAS A SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE VENTS. THE AIR CONDITIONER ALSO STOPPED WORKING. WHEN THE BUTTON FOR VENTING OUTSIDE/INSIDE WAS SWITCH TO OUTSIDE AIR, THE GASOLINE SMELL DISSIPATED. WHEN I PRESSED INSIDE AIR THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE OCCURRED AGAIN. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES, THE AIR CONDITIONER BEGAN TO WORK AND SHORTLY THERE AFTER THE SMELL OF GASOLINE RESOLVED. AFTER A FEW HOURS THE HEADACHE FROM GASOLINE INHALATION WENT AWAY. *TR

2014 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE AND STEERING WHEEL ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO START THE ENGINE DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL BEING IN THE LOCKED POSITION. THE IGNITION KEY WOULD NOT TURN. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE STEERING WHEEL SELF LOCKED, AND HE WOULD HAVE TO WIGGLE THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT TO RIGHT. *JB THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE TO A SEEMINGLY UNCONTROLLED SPEED. THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKE AND LOWERED THE GEAR TO ITS LOWEST RATIO, BUT WITH LITTLE EFFECT TO CONTROL THE SEEMINGLY EVER INCREASING SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER MANAGED TO NAVIGATE SEVERAL SHORT RADIUS CURVES AND TORE DOWN THE SLOPE ROAD TOWARD A MAIN COMMUTER ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS SPEEDING OUT OF CONTROL AND UNFORTUNATELY HE HIT A COMMERCIAL VAN. THE CONSUMER FINALLY MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. UPDATED 10/28/15.*JB

BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN JUNE 2014. AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF DRIVING, I HAVE DEVELOPED BAD NECK AND BACK PAIN DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE SEAT AND HEAD RESTRAINT.

I HAD JUST PURCHASED A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA LE ECO, AFTER ONLY GOING 10 MILES ON A LEVEL DRY EVENING SURFACE, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN UP TO GO UP HILL. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE BETWEEN THE GAS PEDDLE AND THE ENGINE. AFTER TWO FULL DEPRESSIONS ON THE GAS PEDDLE, THE PEDDLE TO ENGINE FINALLY ENGAGED AFTER A ADDITIONAL 1/2 PEDDLE DEPRESSION. THE ACCEPTION WAS A SLOW STEADY WIND UP AND FINALLY UP TO POSTED SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPEN 6 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 1/2 MONTHS, WITH THE LAST INCIDENT THIS WEEK END. I HAD STOPPED DRIVING THIS VEHICLE 1.5 MONTHS AGO AND JUST TOOK IT OUT FOR A 248 MILE ROAD THIS LAST WEEK END. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE FAILED. EVEN WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED COMPLETELY, THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD. I WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO SWERVE INTO THE SHOULDER AND PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND THERE WAS NO INCIDENT. HOWEVER, THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT AND IT SEEMS LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. THEY TESTED OUT THE BRAKES AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TECHNICALLY FINE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY COULD RECREATE THE INCIDENT AND UNDERSTAND WHAT WENT WRONG. I'M NOW JUST DRIVING THE CAR AND HOPING THE SITUATION IS NEVER RECREATED BECAUSE NEXT TIME, I MIGHT NOT BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET AWAY WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT. *TR
