Engine Coolant Bypass Valve faulty. Charged $176.95 for the dealer to diagnose what is already known issue. The dealer wanted $663 to replace the part. Toyota knows about this issue yet acts like they had to perform $176 diagnose. The car never blew any codes CIL and they say that this particular part doesnt cause a code but had to use a " special" diagnose tool.

CVT TRANSMISSION is hesitating after first gear, going over 40mph and going up hills. I was told by Toyota that it would cost $8,200 to fix/REPLACE. The car has 125,000 miles on it. THAT Shouldn't happen. Since the Corolla Hatchbacks were recalled that year, why weren't ALL of the corollas recalled. Reading on-line, I see I am not alone. This is wrong. And I still have about $2K owed on it.

2019 Toyota Corolla, I am the second owner. Vehicle has 66,000 miles. Vehicle will turn over, start for a very small second, and then stall (shuts off). Throttle body and battery have been changed. Car runs, then stalls. Im 24 and I bought the car because they're supposed to be safe and last. I brought this vehicle home in March and the joke is on me because not only does it choose to run, but it's not safe to even think about driving it. What happens if it chooses to just stop on the highway at 65 mph? Dangerous. I have a family. Very upset.

12/12/21 I suffered a mulitple deer strike imploding the windshield and collapsing the roof. Two months later my restored car was returned to me on 2/4/22. It had noxious, concentrated fumes inside from adhesives and sealants not allowed to escape; I stuck my fingers with glass on a shelf under the dash; and I got blasted in the eyes and face with fine glass debris that were still in the defroster vents/ducts. It took 5 medical treatment visits to get my left eye healed. Toyota Brand Engagement Center Case 220720000770 states Toyota glass when broken should not be smaller than the size of "pebbles" and had no record on file of glass breakage turning into fine powder. An independent expert/owner of a third party body shop, Ridgeway's in Berryville VA., had advised he had a inquisitive discussion confirming with the recently-assigned ERIE Insurance Claims Adjuster, unrelated to my case, on other accidents where Toyota glass had been very difficult to clean up as it was in fine powder form, where other auto manufacturers were not. My prior accident and after accident incidents images and emails state MY original accident's glass damage resulted in about three forms of glass debris: fine glass powder as the greatest component everywhere and blown into my eyes; some glass crystals the size of a few grains of salt; and some glass shards, paper-thin laminated shards, that closely resembled the form of fish scales. I had used the words and provided images it looked like it had snowed all over the car's interior and me from the original accident. There are some 150 pages of documentation available for review.

Waiting at a stop light, The light turns green and I go to pull through the intersection with the intention of going under the overpass to get on the freeway. When the car gets to about 10-15 mph The car makes a pop noise & stalled. It felt like suddenly it was dragging a lot of weight and slowly I guided it to the right side of the road under the overpass for the freeway. I tried to start the vehicle and I didn-??t do anything I couldn-??t move the shifter and that-??s when I knew the transmission had to of been the issue. So I called roadside assistance through my insurance they said it would be 90 minutes I had to wait underneath the freeway with the vehicle. A AAA tow truck driver that was about to board the freeway stopped even though he didn-??t have the call And tried to see if I had AAA so he could tell me, I did not So he got in to see what was wrong with the vehicle immediately you could tell the shifter he then pulled out what he called the belief shift override and he put a screwdriver To release the shifter I get it into neutral so when the tow truck driver showed he could tow it. I had called Toyota to make sure that I could have the car towed there he said that-??s fine. When I arrived to the Toyota dealership the service department was closed because it was Sunday which I understood but I had to be to work at nine and it was already close to two. I have two sons that were both at their daycare/babysitter which I would-??ve need to return to pick up at 6 PM 7 PM the latest. All the representatives had no help for me even with it being my third car from the dealership. The Toyota Corolla LE is a 2019 with only 29,149 miles on it. I-??m a light driver the vehicle goes to work & the grocery store. I had a service appointment Scheduled for August 6 at 7 AM For a basic service check fluids rotate tires, no oil change, received email 8:20am Claiming I canceled appointment. Night before incident check engine light came

Also, my brother James Wright took the vehicle to Bondy's and was told no recall for the airbags or fuel pump by the service department. On or about March 6, 2021, approximately 6:30 AM hit a deer on Coffee County Road 377, Elba, Alabama. had damage to the front windshield, right passenger side. A hole was found in the trunk where the trunk is separating from the body. Progressive insurance and Toyota are both refusing to fix this problem They have told me not to put anything in the trunk. Also Progressive is refusing to pay for the right side of the car. This has been going on with Progressive since March. the car had been taken to Wiregrass Collision Center 3 times and each time the center said Progressive never came and looked at the vehicle. Progressive was trying to force me use a auto repair shop in Troy, Alabama.

Because Toyota will not enable entune 3.0 to work with google maps I feel that they are deliberately endangering my safety. I now have to use my phone to look up addresses instead of a hands-free option. Their scout gps maps is frequently wrong and does not provide the navigation I need on a daily use basis.

After getting gas, once I got onto the highway, about 400 or so feet, my car started shaking violently and then my check engine light came on. I didn't know what was happening and my car was slowly stopping on its own Accord. Luckily I was able to get off on the nearby exit, my car slowing by itself as I drove. As I turned in to go to a gas station, my car stopped on its own completely, even when I tried to push on the gas. I turned the car off and waited about 5 minutes. After that time, I was able to start it up and my car turned on and no alert lights were on.I I was then able to drive on back roads to my house, with no further issues. Please help me resolve this issue. I am terrified I am going to get in a car accident.

I started my car and put it in reverse, as I backed out of the driveway the car seized in the middle of the city street I was backing onto and I could not get it to move no matter what I did. A couple of dashboard lights came on, I wasn't able to shift or get out of the way of oncoming traffic. One of the lights that came on had an exclamation point. My steering wheel would not move either. I shut the car off and restarted it, it ran after that. I have since been very wary about driving because I'm afraid I'm going to be driving and it'll just stop working again.

I drove my car to get gas on November 24, 2019. After I got full tank of gas, I cannot start the engine. The engine would make a noice like coughing, and whole car would shake, all the electric (lights, meter, music) would be on, but the engine would go back to 'dead'. on the display screen, it would show the 'battery' warning icon. I immediately tried jumpstart, but I still cannot start my vehicle so it's not simply a batteries problem. (actually, I think the battery itself has no problem.) the dealership was not in service on Sunday, so I have to paid to get my car towed at the night- drop. Before the guy towed my vehicle away, he tried to start my vehicle again and it cannot be start. On Monday morning the dealership examine in the vehicle but they claim they found nothing wrong. All the test come clean and they wanted me to come and take my vehicle. But when the technician was about to get my car, he himself cannot start a vehicle again or it takes a long time for the vehicle to start. So they keep the car three more days to test but today they called me, and still telling me the vehicle has no problem. The car clearly has some problem! and actually this is the second time that it happened. The first time happened when I parked my car at my office buildings parking lot, and at night after work I cannot start the engine. Same problem. That time I wait for two minutes and I can start the car back on again. But the same problem did exist before, and it has a recurring problem. I'm now very worried about my car, I fear that the same problem would happen again, and I don't feel safe driving it.

Purchased vehicle new.in ft myers Florida on the day of 28th febuary. The vehicle displays problem at idle coasting speeds of 5 to 15 miles per hour in parking lots or stop and go traffic. The rotary component in transmission knocks and clicks.also the car clunks midly and will not ease into driving speed without clunking and clicking. Also the car displays the symptom of bad timing, with the timing of the motor being off, causing the motor to drag as if the throttle of car is set too loose or at too low of specified RPM.. and this is here writtin.the exact problem with the drive of my 2019 Toyota corrola hatchback.

The owner's manual shows a location for lifting the vehicle in the front using a floor jack (page 427). This location is not present on my vehicle and this was confirmed by a Toyota dealership. This could lead to someone using another improper location to lift the vehicle which could cause an injury to a person if the vehicle slips off the jack or damage to the vehicle. The missing part is also referenced on page 475 as a location to tow the vehicle by. Again, since this location is missing, someone could tow the vehicle by a spot not design to be towed by. This could also result in injury to a person or damage to the vehicle.
