[XXX] In reading the above article, Toyota recalled Corolla Cross Hybrid vehicles with many complaints and situations mirroring our accident. Before the accident, the vehicle displayed no warning signs. Despite the driver pressing the brakes and the assisted braking feature seemingly turning on (e.g., signal lights on the computer system), neither seemed to work in this situation. The damage was far too severe for the assisted braking feature to have activated, along with the driver pressing the brakes. After viewing the matter with those involved in the accident, many of us concurred that we believe either the braking system or the computer system failed. In the aftermath of the accident, the police, manufacturer, or third party hadn't reviewed the vehicle's status. On top of that, our insurance refused to investigate, urging us to discuss the matter with Toyota. Thus, we'd propose that the Corolla SE may experience an issue similar to the vehicles in the article. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My wife and I have been having great difficulty reading the center portion of the instrument panel because the illumination is too dim. We have visited the dealership and were instructed how to maximize the brightness, but it is still not sufficient. The small icons that appear at the top of the center section of the instrument panel cannot be viewed while we are driving, unless we place our head close to the screen. To do this our head must be at the level of the bottom of the front window. In that position we cannot see the highway sufficiently to be -??safe.-?? We both have good vision. In the past, we have owned over thirty automobiles and have never had a problem seeing the instrument panel.I have discovered that occassionally the illumination of the center screen of my instrument panel is fine. The car-??s computer apparently dim-??s it without my consent. I drove 60 miles (about an hour) on a California freeway, and for the first 20 minutes I had good illumination. Then it suddenly got to its usual dim state. I have asked several people at my Toyora dealership, and they cannot help me. I, therefore, am requesting someone at your offices to look into this problem, and call me by phone to help me solve this important problem. The best way to viualize this problem would be to inspect my auto at my home.

Morning of 08/11/2024, started car and put in Sport mode. Drove under 20 mph for 3 blocks to leave neighborhood. Got to main street intersection and waited for an opening, then pressed the gas and nothing happened except the check engine light came on and dash message of Ignition On, but car was not operating. Pushed ignition button and it came on and dash cleared. Has not happened again and dealership could not replicate and no codes saved.

I was accelerating on an on-ramp to merge with traffic on a freeway, and my corolla-??s engine shut itself off. All the electronics stayed on and flashed the messages -??Parking brake malfunction-?? and something along the lines of -??Secondary collision brake system malfunction-??. I was stuck coasting in traffic and could not start the engine in neutral. I had to make the car come to a complete stop on the freeway in a lane with no shoulder, put it in park, turn it off, and then back on again. All messages and lights disappeared. I took it to a toyota dealership the next day and they couldn-??t find anything. They told me they don-??t know what caused it and sent me on my way.

Steering-?"car seems to slip when driving at 30mph and taking a curve. Very brief. Traveling at 70mph car shakes.
