Electrical System problem #1

On February 14th, my 2025 Toyota Corolla hybrid (approx. 17,000 miles) experienced a catastrophic failure. Without warning, the steering wheel completely locked, preventing any control. Simultaneously, the automatic emergency collision braking system malfunctioned, locked the brakes, and would not disengage. This total loss of control forced the vehicle to crash into a median. Toyota corporate has ignored my case for 30 days. This is a severe, life-threatening manufacturing defect that caused a crash and destroyed my sole source of income.

Electrical System problem #2

Two incidents of rodent eating the wires of the car in a span of two weeks that cause a lot of money to repair. Dealership did mention that wires have soy based insulation which was the cause. Newer Toyota cars have the same problem which a coworker of mine had last year and my brother as of this date have the same problem.

Electrical System problem #3

Driving on highway around 65mph, car shut down internally completely blacking out inside. Turned back on a few seconds later while still driving all lights were blinking. Pushed the sos no-one answered pushed again then someone came on. Matches the same description on the other 2025-26 hybrids in the Corolla cross and camry hybrid.
