2016 Toyota Corolla Owner Complaints

I WAS MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY. THE INDIVIDUAL BEHIND ME WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND DID NOT STOP. INSTEAD OF SWERVING TO THE RIGHT TO MISS ME, SHE SWERVED INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE JUST AS I WAS TURNING LEFT. HER GMC 2500 HEAVY DUTY PICK-UP IMPACTED MY CAR AT THE DRIVER DOOR, FRONT PILLAR, FRONT FENDER.THE IMPACT PUSHED MY CAR OVER 30 FT DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE PUSHING MY CAR APPROXIMATELY 20 FT OFF THE ROAD, UP A SLIGHT HILL. IN THIS IMPACT, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE STATE TROOPER AT THE SCENE, THE INSURANCE COMPANY, AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ARE ALL STUNNED BY THIS FACT. IN THIS ACCIDENT MY HEAD HIT THE PILLAR NEXT TO MY DOOR CAUSING ME TO BE KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS, GIVING ME A CONCUSSION AND CAUSING A HEAD LACERATION REQUIRING STAPLES IN MY HEAD. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID THE CARTRIDGE IN THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY COLLAR BONE WAS BROKEN AS WELL. MY CAR WAS GOING ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR AT THE MOMENT OF IMPACT. I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC PRIOR TO MAKING THE LEFT-HAND TURN. IN ADDITION, I DID HAVE A PROGRESSIVE SNAP-SHOT INSTALLED IN THE CAR.

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT TIME OF CRASH WHICH THEY SHOULD HAVE.

10/3/2016

PULLED INTO PARKING LOT AND PREPARED TO PARK. STEPPED ON BRAKES, CAR DIDN'T STOP HIT BUILDING. I PUT IN REVERSE AND THEN DRIVE, SWERVING AWAY FROM BUILDING, BUT CAR KEPT GOING ALL WHILE FOOT WAS ON BRAKE. PULLED KEYS FROM THE IGNITION TO STOP THE CAR.

ON JUNE 24TH 2016 I PURCHASED A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA S. I HAD 3 MINOR BRAKE FIALURES WITH GRINDING SOUNDS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ON THOSE 3 OCCASIONS.THE 4TH BRAKE FAILURE WAS A LOT WORSE AND I ENDED UP APPLYING THE E BRAKE AND SLIDE INTO COUNTY LINE DIVIDING PASCO & HERNANDO COUNTY FLORIDA. ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SAID " I NEED TO BRING MY CAR IN ASAP BECAUSE NOW I HAVE HAD FOUR BRAKE FAILURES AND THIS ONE COULD HAVE KILLED ME IF ANYONE HAD BEEN COMING. THIS WAS THE 21ST OF JULY, I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION OF MY BRAKES. ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE, BROUGHT IT BACK AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. ON SEPTEMBER TENTH 2016 I GOT INTO THE RIGHT HAND TURN LANE, WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I CONTINUED TO APPLY MORE AND MORE PRESSURE AND STILL NO BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO VEER ENOUGH TO THE RIGHT SO I DIDN'T IMPACT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HOWEVER THE LADY BEHIND THAT CAR WAS NOT AS LUCKY AND I IMPACTED HER FRONT LEFT PRETTY MUCH HEAD ON. I HAVE CALLED OVER AND OVER I HAVE SENT PICTURES OF MY CAR AND THE ROAD WHERE THERE WAS NOT EVEN 1 SKID MARK. I HAVE 9 BULGING DISC 4 HERNIATED DISCS. I AM LITERALLY BROKE FROM CAR RENTALS DR'S APPOINTMENTS AND MEDICATION THAT HAS BEEN VERY EXPENSIVE. EVERY TIME I CALL I AM INSTRUCTED I WILL RECEIVE A CALL FROM THEIR CLAIMS/LEGAL DEPARTMENT WITHIN 30 BUSINESS DAYS FROM WHEN THEY RETRIEVED THE DATA FROM THE CAR THAT ALMOST KILLED ME AND A POOR WOMAN WHO WAS TAKEN AWAY IN AN AMBULANCE. I LOOKED THROUGH THE DATA AND I AM NO ENGINEER AND I CAN EVEN SEE WHERE THE BRAKES FAILED. TO EVERYONE WHO READS THIS IF YOU SEE S NEWER TOYOTA BECAREFUL.

10/25/2016

I AM REPORTING AN ISSUE ON SPORADIC "SQUEAKING" NOISE THAT COMES FROM BOTH FRONT SEAT BELTS SINCE PURCHASE OCT 2015. THE EVENT OCCURS WHEN DRIVER ACCELERATES OR DECELERATES OR GOES OVER SPEED BUMPS OR UNEVEN ROADS. THE ISSUE DOES NOT GO AWAY DESPITE MOVING THE SEATS BACK AND FORTH TO ENSURE PROPER ENGAGEMENT. (SEAT ADJUSTMENT IS MANUAL). THE ISSUE IS MORE PRONOUNCED IN COLD WEATHERS. THE "SQUEAK" EVENT STOPS WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS UNBUCKLED. THE ISSUE OCCURS WHEN THE BELT IS BRACED AGAINST DRIVER WHEN HAPPENS DURING ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION AND GOING OVER UNEVEN ROAD OR BUMPS. THESE SQUEAK ARE NOW LOUDER THAN AFTER PURCHASE AND MORE ANNOYING EVEN THOUGH THE SQUEAKS COME ON SPORADICALLY.

5/19/2016

REFERENCE: NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10865853. ADDITIONAL INFO - SNAPSHOT ATTACHED. UNABLE TO UPLOAD AUDIO FILE (AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST) THIS IS ABOUT "SQUEAKING/CREAKING" NOISE THAT EMANATES FROM BOTH FRONT SEAT BELTS SINCE PURCHASE OCT 2015. THE EVENT OCCURS WHEN DRIVER ACCELERATES, DECELERATES, GOES OVER SPEED BUMPS OR UNEVEN ROADS. THE ISSUE DID NOT GO AWAY AFTER DRIVER SEAT WAS MOVED BACK AND FORTH TO ENSURE PROPER ENGAGEMENT IN SEAT TRACK.(NOTE - THIS VEHICLE TRIM HAS MANUAL SEAT ADJUSTMENT). THE CREAKING SOUNDS IS AS IF A BOLTED JOINT HAS COME LOOSE. OTHER DRIVERS HAVE REPORTED THAT THIS ISSUE WAS DUE TO THE SEAT BELT BOLT STRIPPING LOOSE. THE ISSUE IS MORE PRONOUNCED IN COLD WEATHER. THE "SQUEAKING" GOES AWAY WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS UNBUCKLED. THE "SQUEAKING/CREAKING" RESUMES WHEN THE BELT IS BRACED TIGHT AGAINST DRIVER AND VEHICLE ACCELERATES OR DECELERATES, OR GOES OVER UNEVEN ROAD OR BUMPS. THESE DB LEVELS ON THESE SQUEAKS HAVE INCREASED WHERE EVERYONE SEATED IN THE CAR CAN NOW HEAR IT. THE INCIDENTS ARE STILL SPORADIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE'S SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO INDICATE THE ACCURATE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

2/9/2016

NEW 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA - AROUND THE 3,000 MILE POINT THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO SHOW ANY SPEED ON 25-50 MPH NEIGHBORHOOD AND ADJOINING ROUTE, ALTHOUGH THE CAR DROVE AT SOME NON-INDICATED SPEED FOR 5 MILES. SPEEDOMETER STARTED WORKING BUT WHEN LEFT AT DEALER TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM, HAPPENED AGAIN. DEALER REPLACED THE "CLUSTER" COMPONENT CONTAINING SPEEDOMETER.

8/1/2016

STEERING WHEEL RECALL. I WAS COMING OUT FROM AN ALLEY TO GET INTO THE MAIN ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL FROZE, LOCKED UP, OR JAMMED TO THE RIGHT. QUICKLY STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO AVOID INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE CAR. HAD TO RESTART ENGINE TO GAIN CONTROL OF CAR. COULD BE FATAL IF THERE WAS ONCOMING CAR OR MERGING ON INTERSTATE.

8/6/2016

WHELP MY 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA L HAS A ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR THIS CAR IS ONLY A MONTH OLD I TOOL IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE STATED THE NITROGEN IN MY TIRES ARE TO COLD, WELL ITS SUMMER TIME IN FLORIDA AND NOTHING COLD EVERYDAY I HAVE HAD A ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR. ALSO MY CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO BLOW AWAY WHEN I AM ON THE EXPRESSWAY , WHICH IS VERY SCARY

9/12/2016

HEAD RESTRAINT/HEADREST IS SO EXTREMELY PAINFUL THAT IT HAS TO BE REMOVED OR REVERSED TO SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR.

10/14/2015

SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED WITH A LOUD NOISE LIKE A GUNSHOT WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AT 75MPH. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THERE IS A FLAW IN THE GLASS AND THAT THIS DID NOT RESULT FROM TRAFFIC DEBRIS (NO OVERPASS NEAR)

2/16/2016

AM HAVING TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT AXLES AT 81K MILES. DEALER ESTIMATE IS $1300.00. HARD TO BELIEVE THAT AXLES GO BAD THIS EARLY IN CAR'S LIFE.

5/14/2018

THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY WHEN ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. IT WOULD NOT EXCEED 45 MILES PER HOUR. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AS THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED A SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETIN TO ADDRESS THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE SINCE SUSPENDED THE RECALL LEAVING DRIVERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AT RISK. THE ONLY APPARENT SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $9200 WHICH MAY BE WHY TOYOTA IS HESITATING ON ISSUING A PROPER RECALL. UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT HAVE $9200 SO THE CAR REMAINS UNDRIVEABLE.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING HOME FROM A CONCERT AT 10:30 PM ON THE 110 FREEWAY IN SAN PEDRO, CA WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD CRASH ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. WE HADN'T JUST DRIVEN UNDER AN OVERPASS. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS BEHIND US. NO ONE WAS SWERVING OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID ANYTHING. NO ONE WHO DROVE PASSED US REACTED AT ALL. WE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HIT US AND KEPT HEARING GLASS MOVING AROUND. AT ONE POINT MY HUSBAND OPENED THE SUNROOF SLIGHTLY AND SAW A GAPING HOLE IN THE GLASS ALONG WITH GLASS SHARDS THAT STARTED FALLING INTO THE CAR. WHEN WE GOT HOME I LOOKED UP "EXPLODING SUN ROOFS" AND FOUND THAT SPONTANEOUS EXPLOSION WAS NOT UNCOMMON AND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FORMING AND PEOPLE REPORTED THEIR EXPERIENCES TO YOU. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE FOR ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS. THE TEMP WAS 49 DEGREES. THIS IS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. NO ICE. NO SNOW. NOT THAT COLD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE LED HEADLIGHTS WERE ACTIVATED BUT THE LOW BEAMS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE ADEQUATE LIGHTING ON THE ROAD AHEAD, WHICH DISTORTED THE VISIBILITY. THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE ENGAGED IN ORDER TO VIEW THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 250. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

3/8/2016

IN THE LAST 5 DAYS, I HAVE SEEN AT LEAST 4 TOYOTA COROLLA'S WITH LED HEADLIGHTS ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT WITHOUT THEIR TAILLIGHTS ON. I BELIEVE THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT THE LED HEADLIGHT OPTION RUNS ALL DAY LONG, SO PEOPLE ASSUME THEIR LIGHTS ARE AUTOMATIC? THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS SOMEONE ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT CANNOT SEE THESE TOYOTA COROLLA'S IN FRONT OF THEM WHEN THE TAILLIGHTS ARE OFF. IN TOTAL, I HAVE PROBABLY SEEN AT LEAST 40+ COROLLA'S WITHOUT THEIR LIGHTS ACTUALLY TURNED ON, BUT THE HEADLIGHTS ALWAYS SHINE. I TRY TO FLASH MY LIGHTS AT THE DRIVERS TO SIGNAL THE PROBLEM, BUT FEW REALIZE THE ISSUE SINCE THEY ARE UNAWARE THEIR LIGHTS ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED.

2016 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ILLUMINATED WARNING LIGHT, TRAC OFF, CHECK ENGINE AND MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHTS. *LD THE CONSUMER COMPLAINED OF MICE EATING AWAY AT THE VEHICLE CAUSING MUTIPLE VEHICLE FAILURES. *JS

8/29/2018

TRAC OFF, CHECK ENGINE, AND MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHTS SUDDENLY APPEARED WHILE THE COROLLA WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A STATE ROAD. THE CAR HAD JUST PASSED ITS 20,000 WARRANTY CHECK WITH NO PROBLEMS. I WAS ON THE WAY TO A REGULARLY SCHEDULED ONCOLOGY APPOINTMENT. I HAD TO CANCEL THE APPOINTMENT AND DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. TECHNICIANS DETERMINED A RODENT HAD CHEWED THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL HARNESS. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED BY ANY TOYOTA WARRANTY. SO FAR, I'VE BEEN FORCED TO SPEND NEARLY $1,000 ON RODENT-RELATED REPAIRS. I HAVE STAGE IV CANCER. I BOUGHT THIS CAR EXPRESSLY TO HAVE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION TO CANCER TREATMENTS, MOST OF WHICH ARE OUT OF STATE. I CAN'T AFFORD THESE RAT-RELATED REPAIRS. LETTERS AND PHONE CALLS TO TOYOTA HAVE PROVED FUTILE AND FRUSTRATING. THE RATS ARE CONSIDERED BY THE CORPORATION AS AN OUTSIDE SOURCE, AND THEREFORE, NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. THE "OUTSIDE SOURCE" IS THE SOY THAT WAS STUPIDLY USED TO MAKE THE INSULATION PROTECTING THE ENGINE'S ELECTRICAL WIRING, CRISSCROSSING THE ENGINE. I HAD A 1991 TOYOTA THAT I PARKED IN THE SAME UNPROTECTED, DRIVEWAY SPOT FOR NEARLY 25 YEARS WHERE THE NEWER COROLLA IS NOW PARKED. THERE WERE NO RODENT ISSUES WHATSOEVER. SAME FOR A 1991 JEEP WRANGLER. DITTO A 1997 BUICK LASABRE. THE ONLY CAR BEING EATEN BY MICE AND RATS IS THE NEWEST CAR--THE 2016 COROLLA WITH SOY-BASED WIRING. SOY IS A FOOD SOURCE. I KNOW. I GREW UP ON A FARM AND WE FED IT TO OUR COWS AS A PROTEIN SOURCE. I NEED A RELIABLE, ECONOMICAL CAR TO GET TO LIFESAVING CANCER TREATMENTS. THIS CAR ISN'T IT. TOYOTA COULD CARE LESS. FOR THAT, THE COMPANY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THEY ARE RISKING THE LIVES OF EVERYONE WHO OWNS ONE OF THESE RAT TRAP CARS. SO FAR, TOYOTA HAS ABSOLVED THEMSELVES OF ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS INHERENT AND DANGEROUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I CAN'T FIGHT STAGE IV BREAST CANCER AND TOYOTA. THANK YOU.

BRAKE PEDAL FEELS SPONGY OR SOFT ALL THE TIME. HAVE HAD VEHICLE TO DEALER 3 TIMES FOR STUCK FUEL DOOR (WON'T OPEN). EVERY TIME NOTHING FOUND WRONG. TECH LUBED AND TRIED ADJUSTING FUEL DOOR TO NO AVAIL. STUCK FUEL DOOR DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME THOUGH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN WHO ARE TRYING TO FUEL UP WHEN ON EMPTY. FUEL DOOR STICKS WHILE STATIONARY. BRAKES FEEL SPONGY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES WHILE IN MOTION OR SITTING STILL. DEALER LOOKED AT BRAKES AND SAID THEY ARE FINE. HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THESE COROLLA'S HAVING BRAKE FAILURE! WHAT'S NEXT??? A CRASH IN THE MAKING!!! WILL NOT BUY TOYO AGAIN.

11/15/2016

TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE 6MOS. INSPECTION DONE AND I REPORTED THAT I WAS SMELLING SOMETHING LIKE ROTTEN EGGS IN MY CAR. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST 1-2 TIMES A MONTH AND IT HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A WHILE. I AM DUE TO TAKE THE CAR IN AGAIN AND I WILL REPORT THAT THIS PROBLEM AGAIN. MY GRAND DAUGHTER WAS IN MY CAR AND SHE ASKED ME WHAT THAT SMELL WAS??? WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY CAR IS USUALLY IN THE PARK POSITION, BUT RUNNING. WHEN I FIRST REPORTED PROBLEM, THEY CK IT OUT AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD KEEP A CK ON THIS PROBLEM

8/5/2017

FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELDS BOTH DISTORTED/DEFECTIVE. LIKE LOOKING THROUGH FUNHOUSE MIRROR GLASS. THE FRONT MAKES THINGS CLOSER AND LARGER AND VERY WAVY FROM MY VISUAL PERSPECTIVE STARTING AT ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN THE WINDSHIELD AND CONTINUING TO THE RIGHT (TO THE PASSENGER SIDE). IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT MAKES IT APPEAR THAT LARGE TRUCKS OR GUARDRAILS ARE COMING AT YOU CLOSER THAN THEY ARE. ONE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TRY TO COMPENSATE WHILE DRIVING FOR AN "OPTICAL ILLUSION" AS I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO SAW THE DEFECT IN MY GLASS AND SAID THAT "HOPEFULLY I WOULD ADJUST". WHEN DRIVING, ONE NEEDS TO FOCUS ON DRIVING, NOT HAVING TO TELL THEMSELVES THAT THEY SHOULD NOT SWERVE BECAUSE SOMETHING IS REALLY NOT THAT CLOSE. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT I HAVE NOT SEEN IN ANY OF MY 26 YEARS OF DRIVING (OR IN EITHER OF THE OTHER 2 COROLLAS THAT I HAVE OWNED). THE REAR WINDSHIELD IS COMPLETELY BLURRY AND DISTORTED ESPECIALLY BETWEEN THE LINES OF THE DEFROSTER. IT GIVES A FUZZY,NAUSEATING EFFECT WHEN GOING FROM LOOKING IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR TO LOOKING FORWARD AGAIN. (IT IS ALMOST LIKE LOOKING AT HEAT SHIMMERING OFF A VERY HOT SURFACE OF A ROAD BUT PERMANENTLY BUILT INTO MY REAR WINDOW.) THE FRONT WINDSHIELD ISSUE IS FAR WORSE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THINGS ARE MOVING QUICKLY. HAVE BROUGHT IT TO 2 TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND CONTACTED TMC AND STILL TRYING TO GET ISSUE RESOLVED. 2ND DEALERSHIP SAID THAT BECAUSE THERE ARE DEFECTS IN SOME OF THEIR OTHER NEW WINDOW GLASS THEY WILL NOT REPLACE MINE ALTHOUGH THEY DO SEE IT AND ACKNOWLEDGE IT. THEY SAID TO REPLACE WOULD BE PUTTING IN THE SAME GLASS. A WINDSHIELD REPAIR SERVICE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS NOT TRUE AND THAT I SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING AROUND WITH GLASS LIKE THIS!

6/23/2016

DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CAPTURES THE GLARE OFF THE DASH. EVERY DETAIL OF THE DASH (VENTS, GROOVES, ETC) IS CLEARLY REFLECTED ONTO THE GLASS BECAUSE OF THE GLASS ANGLE AND THE SLIGHTLY REFLECTIVE NATURE OF THE MATERIAL USED IN THE DASH ITSELF. THE REFLECTION MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE ANYTHING AHEAD. FOR EXAMPLE, I DIDN'T EVEN SEE A DEER STANDING AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL AFTER I HAD PASSED IT. I BOUGHT SOME BLACK FELT FROM THE FABRIC STORE AND PLACED IT ACROSS THE ENTIRE DASH. THIS WORKS, HOWEVER, I NEED TO KEEP THE VENTS UNCOVERED, SO THAT ASPECT OF THE DASH REFECTION IS STILL OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW. NOT SURE IF THIS IS RECALL MATERIAL, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND ALL OWNERS SHOULD RECEIVE A CUSTOM DASH MAT DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS DASHBOARD.

WHELP MY 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA L HAS A ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR THIS CAR IS ONLY A MONTH OLD I TOOL IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE STATED THE NITROGEN IN MY TIRES ARE TO COLD, WELL ITS SUMMER TIME IN FLORIDA AND NOTHING COLD EVERYDAY I HAVE HAD A ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR. ALSO MY CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO BLOW AWAY WHEN I AM ON THE EXPRESSWAY , WHICH IS VERY SCARY

9/12/2016

ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30TH 2017 AT APPROXIMATELY 3:00PM I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 459 NORTH IN THE FAR-RIGHT LANE AND HIT A LARGE POTHOLE ABOUT 150 YARDS BEFORE I-65 OVERPASS. AFTER SWERVING TO MAINTAIN CONTROL I PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND CALLED TOYOTA CARE (ROADSERVICE). THE EVENT I EXPERIENCE CAUSED A BENT WHEEL RIM AND FLAT TIRE. I AM REQUESTING A REIMBURSEMENT OF MY COST TO REPLACE MY WHEEL RIM AND TIRE. THE POTHOLES WERE FILLED BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO TAKE PICTURES ON SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 3RE 2017.

9/6/2017

I NOTICED A SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF MY 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. I INITIALLY TOOK IT IN TO SEE WHERE THE SOUND WAS STEMMING FROM THE MECHANIC AT TOYOTA STATED THAT THE SOUND WAS NORMAL AND NO NEED TO HAVE CONCERN ABOUT THE NOISE IT WAS NORMAL WITHIN THESE MODELS OF COROLLAS. I LET THE DEALERSHIP WITH RELIEF BUT AS I DROVE BACK THE NOISE WAS LOUDER , SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK IN TO THE SAME SHOP LUTHER BROOKDALE TOYOTA WHERE THE MECHANIC STATED THE SOUND WAS NORMAL BUT THIS TIME THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT THEY REPLACE THE STRUTS AND ALONG WITH THE STRUT MOUNTS. HE STATED THIS WOULD ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM AND THE SOUND WOULD GO AWAY BECAUSE HE AGREED THAT THE FRONT END SUSPENSION WAS INDEED FAULTY (HENCE). THAT'S WHY HE REPLACED THE STRUTS ALONG WITH THE MOUNTS. UPON REPLACING THE PART OF THE SUSPENSION THE SOUND PERSISTED. NOW BROOKDALE WHERE I WENT INITIALLY STATED THEY WHERE NO LONGER ABLE TO HELP ME WITH THE ISSUES KEEP IN MY THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, SO I WENT TO WALSER TOYOTA WHERE THEY KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR OVER A WEEK TRYING TO REPAIR AND GET RID OF THE SOUND MY VEHICLE WAS MAKING AFTER THAT WEEK I WAS TOLD THEY CALLED A TOYOTA SPECIALIST OVER THE PHONE PLUS AFTER A WEEK I WAS TOLD THE SOUND WAS NORMAL NO FURTHER WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE I INQUIRED IF THE REP FROM TOYOTA HEARD THE SOUND OVER THE PHONE WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE TECH AT WALSER TOYOTA STATED YES HE HEARD THE SOUND OVER THE PHONE I WAS SHOCKED HOW CAN YOU DEEM A SOUND NORMAL VIA TELEPHONE , NOT HAPPY WITH THIS I THEN TOOK MY VEHICLE TO FIRESTONE REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY RECOMMENDED I HAVE MY FRONT REPLACED I HAVE A PRINT OUT OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS AT THIS POINT I FEEL MY SAFETY OF ME AND MY FAMILY IS AT STAKE.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING HOME FROM A CONCERT AT 10:30 PM ON THE 110 FREEWAY IN SAN PEDRO, CA WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD CRASH ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. WE HADN'T JUST DRIVEN UNDER AN OVERPASS. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS BEHIND US. NO ONE WAS SWERVING OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID ANYTHING. NO ONE WHO DROVE PASSED US REACTED AT ALL. WE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HIT US AND KEPT HEARING GLASS MOVING AROUND. AT ONE POINT MY HUSBAND OPENED THE SUNROOF SLIGHTLY AND SAW A GAPING HOLE IN THE GLASS ALONG WITH GLASS SHARDS THAT STARTED FALLING INTO THE CAR. WHEN WE GOT HOME I LOOKED UP "EXPLODING SUN ROOFS" AND FOUND THAT SPONTANEOUS EXPLOSION WAS NOT UNCOMMON AND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FORMING AND PEOPLE REPORTED THEIR EXPERIENCES TO YOU. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE FOR ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS. THE TEMP WAS 49 DEGREES. THIS IS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. NO ICE. NO SNOW. NOT THAT COLD. *TR
