1 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 11/06/2018

Low beam headlight went out at 48,000 miles. The low beam headlight is sealed which does not allow for bulb replacement. You have to replace the entire headlight assembly. Every other bulb in the assembly can be replaced. Will we begin seeing vehicles with no headlights due to the prohibitive cost and no option for bulb replacement.

2 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2016

Possible problems in lighting. Car by design has led headlights which are also the daytime running lights. The daytime running lights are so bright that the operator could drive in the dark failing to notice that the real headlight are not on. The main problem is when just the daytime running lights are on, there is no tailights, thus a person could drive without taillights and be hit from behind on a dark road.

3 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 04/16/2016

The main front led low-beam is a problem on all trims of this current generation. It is too bright and blinds oncoming drivers, there is also a hard cutoff line in which you can't see anything above it. They also poorly light the road. The beam goes everywhere but the road. It seems they are incorrectly aimed. There is also a tail-light problem that affects the higher-end trims of this generation. There is a drl option, which is the first one, that turns on the front low-beam, you can see that your front headlights are on, but you don't realize your tail-lights aren't on and that you have to turn the stock again to turn them on. There is no indicator on the dash that signifies any sort of exterior lighting is on besides the high-beam. I've seen multiple Corolla drivers on the road with only drls on at night. The lower end trims don't suffer this problem because you can't see the dash at night without turning on the taillights, the higher end trims have an always lit dash. This creates a hazard in which the Corolla in front of you is unlit in the rear and allows a rear-end collision because you can't see them.

4 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 01/14/2016

2014+ Toyota Corolla headlights are too bright and blind on-coming drivers.

5 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 11/06/2015

Everyday I see at least 5 people in 2014-2016 Corolla models driving down the road with their drls on but no other lights. This occurs because the vehicles equipped with led headlights use their regular beam as the drl and people assume they have automatic headlights. However this is extremely dangerous as there are no taillights on. I have seen so many people driving in the pitch black with no taillights. Please issue mandatory recall to refit vehicles with warning that headlights aren't automatic in off position even with drl on or add light sensor that can detect darkness and automatically activates taillights. This should also apply to rainy conditions as hardly any Toyota drivers know that most states require headlights on in rain.

6 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 09/25/2015

The headlights in the Toyota Corolla are blindingly bright. The Toyota Corolla lights are upon the worse offenders of headlights that are so bright they are causing temporary blindness. I have noticed for months this model has headlights that are too bright, but I am writing today because of a recent experience where I temporarily lost the ability to see at night due to a Corolla. Toyota now is advertising their bright headlights to sell vehicles. The pursuit of bright headlights in Corolla should to be put into check by federal regulators before they cause accidents and lead to injuries or deaths.
