2019 TOYOTA COROLLA Complaints

My service engine came on took to dealership they said my coolant bypass valve no good and iam always have to change out my brake pads on the front

While driving on the highway the airbag sensor light came on. I did not hit anything and air bags did not deploy but the light is on showing some issue but I can not get into dealership to check for sometime. There are other recalls on this issue for this same car but not for my particular VIN. Sure seems like a safety issue that Toyota should check out for free to owners.

The bypass coolant valve has failed. Car displays message stating engine maintenance required but no other warning signs. Diagnostic test proved that it’s the bypass coolant valves. Upon further research this seems to be a frequent problem on the 2019 to 2022 Toyotas.

The clutch slave cylinder started leaking fluid. Luckily I noticed this issue before the level was too low. This is especially dangerous as this fluid is shared with the brake system so a loss of too much fluid could cause both a loss of clutch control and a loss of brakes. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic and the issue was found. This issue is also very commonly reported on forums about the 2019 corolla hatchback with a manual transmission.

Clutch/transmission going out. Would not go into gear while driving ! Turned car off then started it up again and regained function. Replaced entire clutch components back in July of 2022. Been driving manual transmission vehicles for over 20 years and never had an issue with clutch or transmission. Plenty of documentation of this issue on Toyota forum sites .

Engine coolant bypass valve circuit short to battery or open - code P268115 Engine maintenance alert light appeared after (a day after, and then would not be on, and sometimes turn on, erratic maintenance message) I brought car in for scheduled engine maintenance per Toyota. The Toyota technician advised me to immediately take care of it but does not have the part in stock. This is the Toyota Dealer service in Manhattan Beach, CA.

On February 17, 2024 I was involved in a hit and run. I was T-boned on the passenger side and the front passenger door wouldn't open and no airbags deployed. Later on in February I received a Toyota Airbag Contol Unit Settlement. I haven't ever received an recall information on any recalls for my vehicle.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE CAME ON, TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED COOLANT BYPASS VALVE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE AND IF NOT TAKING CARE OF, IT COULD CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD THE PART IS $200 PLUS AND LABOR IS $500 PLUS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND FIXED FREE OF CHARGE BY TOYOTA. IN DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH, SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ARE LISTED REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THE GENTLEMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I TOOK MY CAR STATED HE HAS DONE SEVERAL VEHICLES RECENTLY WITH THIS ISSUE. I DON'T THINK USE AS A CUSTOMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE BY TOYOTA. I'M ALSO STILL WAITING TO GET THE RECALL FIXED ON MY MOTHER'S TOYOTA RAV4 RECALL WHICH I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION ON BACK IN EARLY 2023. THEIR EXCUSE IS NOT PARTS AVAILABLE. SO IN THE MEAN TIME, IF THE VEHICLE CATCHES FIRE, THEY SAY OH WELL. I AM OVER TOYOTA GETTING AWAY WITH THIS.

4 years after production with approx 44k miles the car began displaying the message “engine maintained required visit dealer” after investigating discovered coolant valve was the issue. Problem seems to be a common occurrence with the model car for other owners.

The vehicle began to go up and down in revolutions per minute (RPM) while at a traffic light or stop sign.
