2023 TOYOTA COROLLA CROSS Complaints

Per Toyota this vehicle is under recall due to faulty airbag on the front passenger. Per the Toyota customer advocate, Toyota has not identified a remedy and meanwhile no one should ride in that seat takata airbags have been dangerous for years. I can't help but believe that toyota knew about the problem when I got the car February 2023.

For the 3rd time, my 2023 Corolla Cross LE has completely shut off when stopped at a light. Similarities across events include: > it has been raining, so windshield wipers are on > auto-stop/start has been initiated > no warning lights appear before this happens; it just shuts off and the screen says "Steering power low" This seems to be a documented occurrence, per this forum in which the same problem is detailed by numerous contributors: https://www.corollacrossforum.com/threads/vehicle-malfunction-at-start-stop.396/ The sudden shut-down of the vehicle is safety risk because, in a frantic state of mind, one could end up holding up traffic and generating more road rage, never mind the state of mind that I'm left in after this happens - totally anxious and frazzled! After the 2nd time this happened, the car was brought to the dealership where they kept the car overnight to try and recreate the problem. They didn't manage to (sunny days), but they communicated with Toyota about it. After this 3rd time of it happening today I am reaching out to the NHTSA.

While stopped at a stop light, the automatic on/off initiated as usual. However, twice in the past 24 hours the engine has stopped and the driver display provided a message stating “engine stopped” and prompting me to depress the brake harder to start the engine—this action did not restart the vehicle and it had to be put in parked and fully turned off and on to restart both times. The display also stated “steering power low” when the engine stopped message displayed.

When driving during the day on a sunny day, the cluster panel is completely unviewable because of the sun glare on steering wheel hitting cluster panel screen. This happens every time I drive. It isn’t a one time thing.

My partner was driving in stop and go traffic. One of her stops the engine just shut down. She needed to restart. The most recent issue is the rear sensor. It shows it is blocked. When I checked the back bumper the round spot, where I guess the sensor is, was pushed in. I then checked the front bumper, one of those circular spots appear close to being detached. Another issue, the phone charger located in front of the gear handle never worked. I am going to the dealership today. The vehicle was purchased January 2023 and has about 2500 miles on it.

I've only had my Corolla Cross for about 5 months. However, I have received an error message twice indicating a voltage problem and low steering. I am taking my vehicle to the dealer today. However, I have seen that there have been multiple problems with voltage issues with other people who have the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross. Please be sure to file this complaint under the Corolla CROSS and not just Corolla. Thank you.

When automatic start/stop is engaged and I am stopped at a light, the engine does not restart when I release the brake. There are audible and visible indicators of the problem on the dash, with "IGNITION ON" and "Engine Stopped Press Brake Firmly to Restart" displayed on the dash. I had to put the car into Park in order to manually restart the engine. The problem seems to happen on drizzly days when I use the wipers on various intermittent settings. This is a safety to my car and others because of the engine stopping. The vehicle has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or service center. I contacted multiple dealers, but was told that they would need to actually reproduce the problem to diagnose, making it difficult to schedule a service appointment due to the specific weather conditions required. The dealers told me that I would have to pay for the service appointments even though the problem occurred with less than 400 miles on the car, then again with less that 1,000 miles.

It was a rainy day. I stopped and about to turn left, there was a check engine warning and it said “ ENGINE Stop press the break firmly to restart”. I was on full break and it dis not went away. I had to park it and on and off the car. It happened twice.in 3 minutes interval.

It was raining and wipers were on. I was at a red light, and all of a sudden the engine cut off. The dash read a message "Engine Stopped Steering Power Low" and then "Turn engine on". The engine light was on until a started the car back up again. It is a 2023 Corolla Cross LE with about 1,400 miles on it.

May 14, 2023 (Sunday) It was a rainy day, didn't use my car at all. May 15, (Monday) "The Nightmare Began" !!! I turned on my car and (7) symbols on the dashboard appeared and lots of buzzing that freaked me out ! I was in a state of panic and went inside my house and got my husband and asked him to come take a look at the car cause it was going CRAZY ! We looked at each other trying to figure out what was happening to the car ? This is a list of the symbols on the dashboard: 1. Brake System Light (Yellow) 2. Check Engine Light 3. LDA Indicator Light (Orange) 4. PCS Warning Light (Yellow) 5. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control Indicator Light (Orange) 6. Slip Indicator Light (Yellow) 7. Driving Assist Information Indicator (Yellow). I immediately took pictures of the dashboard for proof that I wasn't make this up. On Tuesday May 16th, I started the car and again the same thing occurred ? This time I drove the car to the dealership and explained to the service guy what the car was doing so he said they would do a diagnostic test on the car? My husband picked up the car on Wednesday, May 17th, he was told that everything was fine with the car but they re-set the computer. Thursday, May 18th, it started all over again when I started the car, Friday, May 19th, Saturday, May 20th the same I drove the car and a message appeared on the screen "Drive-Start Control System". The Crazy thing was that you could drive the car but between 12 and 1 p.m. all the lights would start to go away ? On Monday, May 22nd, it continued, but this time something new happened? I put the car into Drive Mode and the car Jerked and I put it back into Park Mode and it Jerked again so, I put it back into Drive Mode and it Jerked again so I pressed the gas pedal and the Parking Brake was on but I had not put the parking brake on? So, I drove the car and this time the transmission started to act up as well? On, Tuesday, May 23rd and Wednesday, May 24th the same thing so, we took car to dealership
