2019 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

I am writing to express my concern regarding the quality of the paint on my 2019 Toyota Corolla. The paint has been peeling for the past two years, and the issue has progressively worsened. Despite taking good care of the vehicle, the paint is deteriorating at an unusual rate for a car of this age. I believe this may be a defect related to the original paint quality, and I would appreciate it if you could inspect the vehicle in this class and advise whether this could be covered under Toyota warranty or any goodwill repair program. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I got an “engine maintenance requested” notification on my car. I took it to a mechanic and they said the coolant bypass valve is defected

Engine Coolant Bypass Valve Issues/Faulty. No problems prior to “engine maintenance message”. Message only comes up when the A/C is turned on.

My vehicle has a production date that falls within an existing safety recall J07 but Toyota is denying coverage. The cvt is making a grinding noise consistent with the torque converter issue described in the recall and my door has a stamp with being produced in 10/2018 when this recall was in effect. However they are denying coverage.

Manual driving shaft slips out of 6th gear while driving affecting the driving speed and increasing RPMs.

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback. The contact stated that while approaching a stop light, the contact depressed the brake pedal and the clutch pedal; however, while attempting to release the clutch pedal, the clutch pedal lowered to the floorboard independently. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact coasted to the side of the road, maneuvered the gear shifter into second gear, and drove the vehicle to the residence without the proper use of the clutch. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware. The failure mileage was 80,000. 04/15/2025: The contact wanted add to the complaint the vehicle had been taken two independent mechanics and the vehicle was diagnosed with slave cylinder failure. The vehicle had been repaired.

Brakes are hard when pressed. Check engine light is on and when I had it checked I was told that it was an issue with the ABS.

UNKNOWN The vehicle stalled mid turn as I was turning left, my wheel locked up and brakes wouldn’t engage.

While driving, my vehicle gas pedal becomes unusable, and two warning messages appear on the dash "Charging System Malfunction" & "Low Oil Pressure" forcing me to pull over in traffic to restart vehicle. This has happened to me 9 times already in a span of 2 weeks. This same issue has happened to a few others and one stated "Unfortunately the techs at the dealership couldn't figure out the issue as no errors were popping up when they hooked up the car to get a read out, so they called in a Toyota rep and even he couldn't figure it out." and later stated, "I've heard from 5 other people who had the same thing happen with their Corollas; one lady was even driving on the freeway when it happened to her. I reported the issue to the NHTSA and can only hope that enough people did the same so that Toyota is forced to deal with the issue." i am experiencing the same issues as this owner and this needs to be investigated!

premature failure of clutch components: throwout bearing, clutch slave cylinder (which doubles as master brake cylinder). This type of failure, particularly when vehicle is in motion, will prevent the ability to change gears, as well as potential for brake failure if loss of fluid is great enough. This is a clear and obvious road hazard and the failure occurs within or just outside of factory warranty period and Toyota corp has been unwilling to pay for repairs on this particular failure. This system will fail without warning and there's no indication as to when this part will fail
