1 Software problem

Failure Date: 09/08/2018

Both the display and functionality of my 2014 Corolla's bluetooth radio navigation unit suddenly stopped working and it appears to be in a never-ending reboot cycle. A picture of the unit appears on the screen with a loading bar underneath it as if it's trying to update its software. However, regardless of how far the loading bar gets, the screen will eventually turn black and start the reboot process all over again. This happens continuously without it ever completing the process, rendering my entire bluetooth radio navigation unit completely useless. Not even the usb charger or aux input will work. After doing some research it turns out to be a very common issue for 2014 Corollas and it largely began happening right after the vehicles� 36 month warranty period ended. I believe Toyota has already released a technical service bulletin in regards to the matter (TSB 0172. 16). It's also a huge safety issue. I bought this car when I moved to California so that I would have the ability to navigate hands free and safely talk on the phone in emergency situations�per the wireless communications device law in California. Now because of this hardware issue, my safety is being jeopardized. Also, because the screen is constantly rebooting, it keeps flashing on and off while I am driving�making it a significant distraction when driving at night.

2 Software problem

Failure Date: 01/10/2017

Audio/navigational unit is not functional, rendering all features (other than actual mobility) non-functional - I travel/live in a hands free city/state, and specifically purchase this vehicle for audio/navigational unit and the blue tooth technology. Also, flashes light uncontrollably while it constantly reboots (distraction - especially at night and during inclement weather). Cannot access diagnostic information on vehicle (tires, engine, etc. ) as promoted/promised from entune software. Toyota has a known issue but will not replace the unit (t-sb 0172. 16) and states it was due to warranty expiration, but never notified customer (I. E. Me) about issue even when I reached out to Toyota to resolve. Even when I notified a local service/dealership, they ignored my safety concerns. Originally Toyota said they would help (September), now (December) they are stating they will not.
