Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps Problems of Toyota Corolla

Volume of media from certain apps can't be adjusted. The vehicle says that if media is not playing, the volume can't be adjusted. This can cause distraction while driving and increase risk of a crash. Specific application where this is the case: youtube audio through an android auto connection. Yes it is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of others is at risk, because all Toyota models with this infotainment system function the same way. Drivers may choose to become distracted by their mobile device while trying to adjust the media volume, risking a crash. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by dealer, however it would be very easy for me to do so. The vehicle has not been inspected by any party outside of the Toyota dealership. When attempting to adjust the volume, the volume level will appear as a numerical value in the infotainment screen only if there is currently "audio" playing. If there is no "audio" playing, an error message will appear telling the occupant to begin playing audio to adjust the volume. This becomes an issue when using an app like youtube to play audio. With youtube premium, you can set a playlist of music, videos, or podcasts to listen to with the screen of your mobile device off. However, the infotainment system will not detect the audio the speakers is playing as audio, and will not adjust the volume. This leaves the driver with no choice but to pay for a spotify, sirius xm or youtube music subscription in order to listen to music or media and adjust the volume safely. Reproduction: start vehicle. Start android auto. Start playing media through youtube. Attempt to adjust media volume using the dial or buttons in the vehicle. Error message should appear. Only way to adjust volume is to switch to fm/am radio, play spotify or other app to adjust volume and then resume youtube media (requires touching phone), or don't use android auto and pay for Toyota gps. How to fix: allow volume adjustment at all times.

When I was driving on the freeway on January 21, 2022, I had my iphone x plugged into the car's infotainment system via usb to enable apple carplay and navigate using google maps. In the middle of driving, the navigation system lost accuracy of my precise location. It continuously kept rerouting, as it believed that I had exited the freeway and was now on the side street. Gps precision is unreliable when the connected phone is not unlocked and on the google maps app (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't). This is obviously a safety hazard, since I have to exit the google maps app on my phone, reopen it, and reroute to the location so the software accurately picks up my location (luckily, the car has lane-trace assist). Another issue is when using google maps (an issue with all navigation app, really; here I use google maps as an example, but I've had an issue with all maps apps I use, including apple maps) navigation with apple carplay and the iphone locks itself or the driver exits the google maps app on the phone. Sometimes, when the phone locks itself from idle usage (as it should, since the driver is focusing on the road) or when the google maps app is exited (but not closed), the navigation interface on the car's infotainment system freezes. It shows the current location of the vehicle as stationary when it really should be moving. The intended functionality is the navigation software should continue running and updating as the car moves, regardless of whether the phone is locked or if the google maps app is only running in the background. This issue happens sporadically, but poses a significant risk of a collision, as it forces the driver to use their phone and reroute their navigation instead of paying attention to the road. Toyota needs to coordinate with apple to address this issue on apple carplay and subsequently release a software update to drivers.

Because Toyota will not enable entune 3. 0 to work with google maps I feel that they are deliberately endangering my safety. I now have to use my phone to look up addresses instead of a hands-free option. Their scout gps maps is frequently wrong and does not provide the navigation I need on a daily use basis. � �.

Car has several issues, one is definitely the vehicle warning lights in dash, the warning lights pop up at different times for no reason occasionally and dealers can't find issues, car also has issues with braking system. Several times went around curves it on stops and car locked up and went sideways, dealer said tested but less than a mile put on car?? car does not act like it has normal abs and almost got in several accidents with my kids and grandson because of it my stopping or locking up!! also have issues since I bought it with radio/features/display. Things show up half way or it turns off at times and also calls out even when untouched. Worried about gps cutting out when needed too. Also plastic part under passaged side glove box continuously falls off, took to dealer and they just put back in, didn't replace but you could see the bend where hook was. And gas mileage and the recent cvt recall, they updated, not replaced after I asked and described how it was driving, and still having issues because they didn't replace after I said it wouldn't go over a certain speed during highway travel or roads requiring over 45 mph. The driving warning thing when you go over lines doesn't always work either, it does 50% of the time. Explained that too but nothing done. Very concerned about this car!! had since 11/2016 and barely drove because of issues and safety concerns. It out has 8000 miles because of it.
