general problems of the 2019 Toyota Corolla - part 2

On March 2, 2019 I purchased a brand new 2019 Toyota hatchback from Toyota of richardson. After only owning the car for 3 weeks I received a notice from my vehicle's alert system that there was a safety recall on it. I was never told this by the auto dealer or by Toyota. The recall was due to an error with the manufacturing of the vehicle. In researching this, I found that in December of 2018 this recall was publicized on the world wide web and with NHTSA. The torque converters is defective and could cause a crash when the car has rapid acceleration. The vehicle could suddenly lose power while driving. My daughter, who is the CO-owner of this vehicle, is the primary driver. She has 4 children, in which one is handicapped. She and her children has been at risk when driving and/or riding in this vehicle since the purchase date. So, for 3 weeks my family was at risk of having an auto accident due to a manufacturer's default in which a recall was issued 3 month prior to the purchase of this vehicle! yet the dealer did not take the time to fix this problem prior to our purchase. This is ridiculous!!.

Tl the contact leased a 2019 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while the cruise-control was activated and going downhill, the rpms rose to 1800 rpm and to 4000 or to 5000 rpm. The contact stated that to prevent the failure he had to turn of the cruise-control or depress the accelerator pedal. No warning indicator lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the fuel economy was affected by the failure. The vehicle was taken to westbury Toyota (1121 old country rd, westbury, NY 11590), where the vehicle was test driven and the mechanic duplicate the issue but indicated on the paperwork that the issue was normal vehicle operation. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,800.
