general problems of the 2013 Toyota Corolla

The contact owns a 2013 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that when the outside temperature was hot, the vehicle was not working correctly. The vehicle was difficult to start, and there was an abnormal ticking sound while starting the vehicle. The contact allowed the vehicle to cool down before the vehicle would run smoothly. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who retrieved dtc code: p1604 (startability malfunction) and the electronic control module needed to be replaced. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 188,000.

Engine, power train, ignition coil. Code p219a bank 1 air-fuel ratio imbalance. Code p0302 cylinder 2 misfire detected. While in motion will shake, jerk, self-fluctuate speed, and lose power up to 100 % if the gas pedal is pressed past a certain point. I have no doubt it is a matter of time and consequence before great damage and bodily injury to myself and others occur. Yes twice been to the repair shop for this issue. Yes. Vehicle was sent by and from a dealership. First, the maintenance required light blinks then is solid. Then the check engine light and track off light are bright and solid. Vehicle first had this issue febuary 28th. Vehicle exact issue but a month later and is currently in the same state. Vehicle has been in the repair shop two times and will need to go again if I keep it.

On the month of January I had an accident the airbags did not deploy had a recall for air bag but never had notification to take it to a dealership or get it fixed. They vehicle was stationary and got hit on the front end of the vehicle.

I was almost crushed by my car while performing an oil change. I had the car jacked up on the passenger side using the stock jack. This was in my garage on level concrete. I drained the oil and replaced the oil pan plug with no issue. I went to to loosen the oil filter cap with the speciality socket cover I ordered online. I made sure to spring out the metal clip that prevents a lose cap from coming off. I went to torque the cap lose and it did not budge. Keeping in mind when torquing ones force is going to the back of the car. I gave the wrench another good push and the noticed the car wobbled. I pulled out immediately and in the next 5 seconds the jack gave way. The stock jack looks to be designed to handle side to motion but not that much back to front. There doesn't seem to be a way to preloosen the cap before raising the car either. Either way please look into this. I could have died today and want to raise this as an issue. Thank you.

While driving west on highway 50 at 65 mph at approximately 7 pm, I turned off the cruise control and the motor stopped at the same time. The car immediately began to slow down and I attempted to restart the motor, which was impossible with the car in gear (automatic transmission). The emergency lights were then turned on as the cars behind were honking their horns and other cars were passing right and left. We were in the second lane with the headlights, also on, of course. I tried starting the car in neutral and that didn't work. When we came to a full stop, I put the car in park and started the car. Everything went well after that.

My 2013 Toyota Corolla was involved in a collision on 10/07/14, in which my son was driving the vehicle. The other driver made a illegal left turn in front of my son. The vehicle sustained massive front end damage. Majority of the front end was caved in, yet the airbag did not deploy. My son sustained some injuries and sought medical attention. . .

2003 Toyota Corolla. Consumer writes in regards to supplement restraint system and electronic control module recalls. The consumer believed the repair shop and Toyota motor company, failed to remedy 2 a safety recalls on her vehicle. The consumer took her vehicle to the repair shop, when she retrieved her vehicle, she was informed one of the recalls could not be completed because the technician was ill, and she would have to make another appointment. She made another appointment, and when she returned to get the vehicle, she was informed again, the only tech, who could perform the recall, did not come in. She made another appointment. However, she received call saying not to come in, because the technician was absent again. The consumer called another dealer, and according to their computer, both recalls had been performed.

When accelerating to pass another vehicle the engine misfired and I had no power to continue passing the vehicle. This has been fixed several times at the dealer but continues to happen.

Was trying to reverse and all of sudden the car just turns off . . Driving on the freeway and the accelerator is taking for ever to pick up this all stared from the day I bought it I call in right away and they told me that I was not able to take the car back.

*steering* I went to visit my dad & run some errands in la county on July 6th 2013. I reside in orange county so I had to get on the freeway. The speed limit on California freeways is 65 miles per hour. When I got up to 65 miles per hour my car started veering off to the left & I had keep a firm grip on the steering wheel with both hands to keep the car in my lane. The speed limit in irvine on most streets is 50 miles per hour. I don't seem to have the veering problem at 50 miles per hour or less like I did at 65 miles per hour. Very scary. *engine problems 2 times so far* on 8/14/13 I tried to start my car to run an errand & it wouldn't start. I turned the key towards me & tried to start it again then it started right up. I thought that it was a one time incident so I let it go. Earlier today 8/17/13 the same thing happened. I put the key in the ignition, turned the key & nothing happened, it didn't start up. Once again I turned the key towards me then turned it in the opposite direction & it started right up. I just bought this car on 6/9/13 & after the test drive it had 5 miles on it when I drove off of the dealer's lot "power Toyota cerritos" aka autonation. I currently have 649 miles on my car. I plan on contacting the dealership service dept on 8/19/13 to make an appointment to have my vehicle inspected. If this problem persists I'm going to contact a lemon law attorney. I have a disabled child that I use this vehicle to transport to & from doctor's appointments. I bought a Toyota because of the reputation of dependability that the name carries. Now I'm not so sure.

In the past year this car has exhibited multiple occurrences (52 documented) of delayed acceleration from 1 to 3 seconds when pressing on the accelerator pedal. I have tried to get Toyota to acknowledge and repair the problem unsuccessfully as the car has been covered under original warranty throughout this time. Multiple drivers have attested to the defect. In ncds arbitration Toyota claimed pauses were due to the "traction control" or "electronic vehicle stability control" kicking in and reducing power to the wheels. This couldn't be the case as in none of the incidents did the instrument panel lights which come on when those features activate light up. Most of the incidents occurred on dry, asphalt, and straight roads and non-hurried driving. This problem is a safety hazard as it occurs intermittently and random without warning.
