Corolla

  • 13,500 miles
I purchased brand new Corolla 2017 last year and it is offcourse under warranty and I have regular service as asked by dealer. This evening I plan with my family to go out and once I get near to my car I saw my rear screen is shattered and I wondered what cause this and found no impact by anything external. I took some pics and look more in detail and found that it was shattered itself despite it was not very hot or cold weather. I am concerned about it as what it have happened having my little kid in car or my wife. Paying reasonable cost of vehicle and getting poor safety make me think of logging this complaint and I am sure someone will look in to it and will raise this concern with authorities and public safety notice too with Corolla owners/drivers. One more thing it was parked as usual and it was parked in private area.

Both front seats are loose. I notice mine is loose when I make a sudden stop or and go of bumps and dips. I been to several dealerships, but only one identified the problem. The advisor said it will take literally 8 hours each, I called Toyota to let them know of the problem and that the mechanic from the dealer who noticed the problem. He also said he noticed the noise I was talking about when I go over dips and bumps. I thought it was the ball joint or bushing and he said no. They noise is just there

I just purchased a 2017 Corolla xse in Feb 2017. The first time it happened I had the cruise control on and was traveling to work at 05:15, and I came to an overpass and on the way down the normal overpass over a cross street, I heard the engine rev and I looked at the tach, and it was at 5000 RPM. I was startled. The same thing happened at the next overpass. This time it was 4000 RPM almost at the bottom of this rather short average downhill. This is still happening, but occasionally it does not. How could this possibly be correct. I can control the speed quite nicely with my foot on the accelerator without hardly any variation of my RPM's. this just doesn't make sense. I am not talking about a long downhill road that has a lane for trucks on the right, where they would have to downshift to maintain a safe speed, this is just overpasses on a freeway system. I asked my salesman, and he said that it was probably normal, and I said how could it be normal for this thing to rev at 5000 RPM on a houston freeway? I only have 5000 miles on this car. This will definitely affect the mileage. I am beside myself at this point.

Corolla

  • 10,000 miles
Was driving my car home from work and about 5 minutes after I started it and began to drive, I went over a speed bump going 5mph and suddenly my theft alarm system starts going off and incessantly honking. My hazard lights also began to blink and my high beams turned on. I pulled over and pressed my smart key alarm multiple times until the alarm stopped. Every time I would hit any sort of bump or use my turn signal switch, the alarm and headlights lights would start going off. I took it to Toyota and they can't figure out what's wrong. They said it is an electrical issue, but not a Toyota one. That doesn't make sense since Toyota engineers the electric components.

Corolla

Purchased car on 04/30/17 and six days later, got a malfunction warning message for the front camera during car start up. Camera is part of the new standard safety sense package. Dealer was unable to correct issue and ordered a new camera. Indicated they have not heard of any previous known issues with the camera. Dealer took longer than usual since they have never replaced a camera before and had no clue how to recalibrate.
