Wiper problem #1

I recently purchased a used 2017 Corolla and I agree with 2 others that the windshield has a design flaw. It is extremely angled in toward the car and reflects the dashboard in the window. The dashboard is like a mirror and the ventilation levers that run along the dash reflect in the lower half of the window and thus cut off visibility. I have to wear sunglasses whenever I drive it and even so, need to be very careful not to hit a pedestrian etc. I called Toyota national but tina c. (case #1910213249) denied having any knowledge of complaints about this. Very dangerous feature and after being a life-long Toyota owner, I am ready to switch.

Wiper problem #2

While coming out of a revered position, I was driving forward and my brakes vibrated. This caused my car to stall while in the driving position.

Wiper problem #3

The vehicle was stationary and when I went to drive my vehicle I found a stress crack on the wind shield starting from the top at the passenger side and it cracked toward the driver side. I found this to be a safety issue, so I conducted some research and found that this is not the first time that a stress crack has occurred in the Toyota vehicles so this was not an isolated incident. I took the vehicle to the Toyota dealer, where I purchased it and a glass specialist conducted an inspection and he confirmed that it was a manufactured defect. This is cause for concern because I was told that even though it was deemed as a manufactured defect that the windshield will not be replaced by the dealer. So through no fault of my own, I was told that I had to put in an insurance claim by a Toyota manager. This is a safety issue and an investigation should be conducted on these vehicles.

Wiper problem #4

Problem is the windshield. Part of the whindshiled reflects picture of the dashboard while driving under certain sunlight condition. Picture of the dashboard appears on the windshield under certain sunlight condation. . The bottom of the windshield works like a mirror. Picture goes and comes depending on the reflecting of sunglight.
