general problems of the 2014 Toyota Corolla

Vehicle stopped accelerating while on highway leading to dangerous slow down with 2 little kids in the car. Car would no longer accelerate despite engine running. Check engine light turned on. Toyota dealer ran diagnostics and found vvti actuator had internally failed. This was a very expensive replacement. I worry that a previous recall for ecm module update came too late before damage had already occured to the vvti actuator prematurely. Car is well taken care of and only 100k miles.

We was on highway and a buck jumped out , my passenger was freaked out knowing no air bags deployed. I was escorted home by police and contacted Toyota ,they sent a john espinoza to come take my sensors off the car and never contacted me again, told me to sign into Toyota page and they'd get back to me. Now my car just sits smashed in garage, it was in great shape before and I was gonna trade it in.

I was going to work, my check engine light came on as well as my track off light came on and I noticed that my engine smelled burning, it was not holding my coolant in my radiator. The dealership said I bought the car as is. I had only had the car for only 7 months. I feel like the sold a car that may have more issues.

The ac compressor is failing as it’s blowing hot air at idle or when the vehicle is running at 20-40mph. During texas hot summers, baby & toddlers are at risk for extreme heat as the ac blows hot/warm air. The problem has been reproduce at an automotive ac shop where they have inspected the ac for leaks, vacuumed refrigerant and replaced refrigerant. Still same issues without any leaks. Police or insurance has not been involved. There are no dash lights when this happens and the issue happens daily which started 3 years ago. The vehicle is driven less because of the issue. There is a TSB t-sb-0086-14 that says this is covered within 36k mile warranty or 3 years. I bought the vehicle with 48k miles and about 2 years later the ac blows hot air at idle.

Car will rev up to 4000 rpm and get stuck while in motion. This generally happens with a cold engine and is getting progressively worse.

On 6/19/2016 driving home from running errands, I stopped at at red light but when the light turned green, the car didn't budge even though I was tapping and pressing the pedal. After about 7-8 seconds, the car finally responded and started slowly rolling to normal speed. On the same trip and the last intersection, the car did this again but at a stop sign. The gas pedal was dead when coming out of a complete stop. It took another 7-8 seconds for the engine/transmission to recognize it was time to roll. Luckily there was no cross traffic because I could have easily been hit due to cruising at 5 miles per hour. I'm taking the car tomorrow to the dealer. The car currently has 24,000 miles on it and this is the second time this has occurred. The first time this hesitation happened was in 2015 around the 12,000 mile mark. The car was at stop and didn't do anything for a few seconds when I hit the gas pedal. I took it to the dealer and the dealer could not duplicate the problem. I told them everything that happened and why I took it. This time they sent a service manager with me for a test drive and he said it felt fine. I was sent home with their assurance that the car was fine and that it was a fluke that the engine was acting up but everything was fine. I've read forums where this has happened with other Corollas and camrys. This is dangerous and is an accident waiting to happen. I hope Toyota takes responsibilities with my car and other cars with the same issue. Nhtsa, please do something before this transmission/acceleration issue becomes a real safety issue. I have video on my cell phone of the car acting erratic.

Pulled left into parking area, car accelerated very fast, went over 4-6" berm. I hit the brake, car stopped. Backed down off berm, didn't do damage. Took car to Toyota, report done and an analysis. Determined "unintended acceleration. . . Pedal misapplication" . Not convinced that's what happened especially after reading other similar complaints. Feel there is a defect in car, further investigation is needed.

I was driving my Corolla s plus 2014 on el camino real, san mateo, CA southbound just past hillsdale blvd, when the engine became very noisy. I looked at the instrument panel and found the followings data: 1) rmp meter - 3500 2) speedometer - 30mph 3) lcd display - eco bar gone the car behaved the same even when I took my foot completely off the accelerator pedal. Transmission defect and/or computer malfunction? luckily I was able to pull my car to the roadside and braked to a stop. I turned the engine off. After 2-3 minutes, I started the engine and all returned to normal. The exact same happening occurred to me just 2 days later on March 19, 2014. It could be very scary if the engine suddenly revs up and the car speeds up at the same time. I wonder if other owners of 2014 Corolla have similar experiences. If so, this is something that has to be investigated.
