Service Brakes Problems of Toyota Corolla - part 2

[xxx] in reading the above article, Toyota recalled Corolla cross hybrid vehicles with many complaints and situations mirroring our accident. Before the accident, the vehicle displayed no warning signs. Despite the driver pressing the brakes and the assisted braking feature seemingly turning on (e. G. , signal lights on the computer system), neither seemed to work in this situation. The damage was far too severe for the assisted braking feature to have activated, along with the driver pressing the brakes. After viewing the matter with those involved in the accident, many of us concurred that we believe either the braking system or the computer system failed. In the aftermath of the accident, the police, manufacturer, or third party hadn't reviewed the vehicle's status. On top of that, our insurance refused to investigate, urging us to discuss the matter with Toyota. Thus, we'd propose that the Corolla se may experience an issue similar to the vehicles in the article. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

M car was towed to Toyota because my automatic parking brake failed to release. No warning lights nor any indication my battery was low. It licked my rear wheels so I could not drive. (thank god I was not in a fire zone requiring evacuation!) there are no manual release for the emergency brake to use in an emergency to flee an area. They said my battery was not carrying the load, and replaced it. This is a very serious safety issue! what if it was a Sunday and Toyota closed?? most repair shops are closed on sundays! I’m [xxx] and [xxx]. Please advise Toyota to add or retrofit a manual parking brake release to resolve this issue. And…. Check to make sure their analysis was correct that my battery was too low! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while attempting to reverse, the message “automatic brake not available” was displayed on the instrument panel.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 36,000. The VIN was not available.

The system that is problematic for this vehicle is the pre collision system (pcs). This system is way too sensitive even on the lowest sensitivity setting, and I have experienced the car braking in error on multiple occasions when driving up or down a windy road. When I approach a bend in the road and there is a car parked on the side of the street, my Corolla will think that I am about to collide with the parked vehicle and make a loud beeping noise and automatically hit the brakes. This has frightened me on a number of occasions, and I am concerned that one day the car will brake in error while there is another vehicle behind me, resulting in a read-end collision. The only consistent method of avoiding this is to drive past the median in the road when approaching bends, which I very much dislike doing, as driving in the middle of the road has its own obvious risks. I have tried contacting the dealership about this, and was told to contact the service department. The service department was no help, saying that they aren't able to do anything about it and that I could try lowering the sensitivity of the pcs, which I had already done. This wouldn't be such a huge issue if there was a way to permanently turn it off. The process for turning it off takes about a minute, as it requires navigating a menu and finding the pcs option to turn off. Unfortunately, the pcs automatically reactivates every time the car is turned off and on again, and even if I use the shortcut method of holding the lane assist button for several seconds to disable the pcs, the car's screen will constantly flash, telling me that the pcs is turned off and annoying the driver to turn it back on. I know that Toyota does not have this issue with their pcs systems on their other vehicles, as I have driven a 2019 camry before and the pcs system never went off when I drove on the same road, which led me to believe that the system on this 2024 Corolla is somehow defective.

Multiple malfunctions causing the engine to misfire and eventually seize completely. Toyota never found out the issue but the engine failed. The suspect poor build quality. The engine, brake collision system, fuel pump all went out. Car was rough idling for about two weeks before the engine completely failed. Toyota has lemoned it.

The anti-lock brake system (abs) malfunctioned when the vehicle was still very new, with only 25,000 miles. Diagnostics from two independent service centers confirmed that the abs electronic control unit is failing due to an external failure. Both specialists stated that such a failure is highly uncommon and is a clear quality issue related to the electronic components. A critical system like abs should not fail this early, raising serious concerns about the durability and reliability of the vehicle’s braking system.

I drive under the acc system, the front traffic slows down on highway, but acc system do not automatically slows down. So I push the brakes, but the car didn't slow down either. The car crash directly into the front car. Currently the car is under insurance inspectation. After the crush happened, the car start automatically moving without engine on, when it's in the parking mode. An police officer stop the car from moving by manually push the car backwards.

At 4 years and 1/2 old car 2020 Corolla xse an engine maintenance required see dealer light turned on. Did diagnostic with obd 2 scanner at two locations auto body shop and uto zone. Nothing appears. It is in fact a needed future recall since thousands if not more people have encountered the same. It is a coolant by pass valbe. Cost is only $99. 53 + tax at dealer. Problem is that should be under warranty or extended warranty or recall. Dealer likes to charge $800 (180-200 for diagnostic, $110 part, $400 labor. Part only takes 30 minutes to install. I should be able to buy at dealer for $110 and have them install for free or pay 30 minutes of work time = $85. 1 hour is about $175. So instead of trying to be billed $800 I should only be billed for $85 labor (30 minutes) + $110 part = brand total of $105 usd. My daughter emily escobar and I, ernesto escobar (dad) bought the car at longo Toyota el monte, CA 91731.

Rotors over heat causing the brakes not function properly and not able to break on time. Loud grinding noise when lightly tapping on breaks.

29,000 miles had to replace front rotors dealership stated the rotors were destroyed also causing me to change brake pads - seems odd that rotors would be so damaged after less than 29,000 miles.

I had to replace all four tires before reaching 40k miles. Brakes needed to be fully replaced with only two years of driving it. And engine maintenance light on for an issue with the coolant bypass valve, not covered under warranty. This is causing issues with the engine, when driving even at 25 miles per hour or at 65 the car sounds like its dragging or forcing itself, the wheel shake & car feels unbalanced even with a tire alignment. Overall I give the car a 2. 5 out 5 star in performance. The body of the car is so fragile and made by very cheap materials. Spending a fortune on this vehicle and it hasnt even reached 60k miles yet.

The automatic engine shut off failed. Normally when stopped the engine shuts off and restarts when pressing the gas. It did not do that and instead turned the vehicle completely off. I was waiting for traffic at an intersection to make a left hand turn when my vehicles engine shut off. Interior lights flashed and alarm sounded. Dashboard said engine was off and to press break firmly to restart. It did not work. Also had a power steering warning. I had to put the car in park and restart the vehicle. In the mean time the light had turned red and I was in the middle of the intersection at night, in the rain with a stalled vehicle that I bought last week and has less than 500 miles. A car nearly hit us as I put my hazard lights on and restarted the vehicle. My kids were in the car, it put not only ourselves in danger but also other vehicles on the road. I have not been able to reproduce the incident but it is at the dealership now. There were no symptoms of the incident prior to. I just went to turn and the car went nuts with lights and warnings and the engine was completely off and had to be restarted… in the middle of a busy intersection. I see several other complaints and even videos where it did the exact same thing. This is for sure a safety issue.

I was going to work on 12/15/2022. There was a stop sign and I needed to take a right turn in order to join the freeway-10 east highway to head on to work. It was about 6: 40 am approximate time. There were too many cars ahead of me at the stop sign. My brakes failed to hold on while I waited for my turn. There were at least 3-4 cars ahead of me. Therefore I did not want to hurt anyone or any other car ahead of me. Therefore I veered off to my right-hand side where there was some space and tried to stop the car but it did not do so. Therefore, my car had to hit the high-way pole to come to a stop. The airbags deployed and hit me more to my right side. The car got totaled as per California casualty insurance information. I am glad to be alive. I went later to the hospital as there were no direct visible injuries.

While operating our 2020 Toyota Corolla hybrid at a slow speed in a parking lot, we began to apply the brakes as we pulled into a parking stall. As the brakes were applied , the vehicle suddenly lunged forward with abrupt force. Both tires left acceleration marks on the painted concrete curb and the vehicle struck a large concrete pillar with such force that the pillar was partially dislodged from the ground. The vehicle was brought to a Toyota dealership and the sales management was notified of the incident. We also filed complaint with the Toyota corporation. We were contacted by a Toyota corporation representative and were told that they would conduct the vehicle inspection. Several weeks later we received a letter from the Toyota corporation legal department which informed us of their findings. The letter conveyed that no defect was discovered and the incident had not been captured in the vehicle's computer. We informed the Toyota dealership of the results. The only assistance offered was their willingness to sell the vehicle at auction, which we adamantly declined. At this time we are making arrangements to have the vehicle towed to a recycling lot for destruction.

Our 19 corrolla failed to start after a long drive. After recall repairs for airbags and fuel pump diagnostics were completed at the j. Allen Toyota dealership in gulfport, ms, the technicians found the issue to be the hydraulic brake booster pump: internal module circuit failure. Codes p1585 and p1586 are for reference. That subsequently blew the injection 1 and 2 fuses. The technician there told us that three other vehicles had the same issue and problems. This incident, fortunately, occurred at a relative's house and not on the roadway which could possibly result in a brake or engine failure that may cause injuries. There were no warning lights previous to or during this incident.

Front passenger side brake caliper was rusted and seized. At the time of this issue the car is two years old and had 40k miles. The car has lived its entire life in western north carolina with me being its only owner. It has never been driven in salty conditions other than twice to the beach. The dealership refused to fix this safety issue under the platinum warranty I purchased because it is "enviromental". This is a major safety concern. I have a 1997 suburban which gets drove in salty conditions every winter and has never one had an issue with its calipers or any operational part rusting.

Vehicle speed control / sudden unintended acceleration. This was not a "misapplication of pedal" by driver! it was clearly a mechanical failure—apparently accelerator pedal (not floor mat, which was secured on its pegs). No warning lamp, msg, symptom prior to crash. Afterward, saw NHTSA rpts others fixed speed control issue & same prob still recurred! my VIN wasn't listed as unrepaired (likely the original owner repaired recall issue/s)—yet car was still dangerous! at slow speed, approx 1-2 mph, I was entering my garage in usual way, turning r. Car abruptly sped up uncontrollably (self-accelerated); couldn't stop it! crashed thru garage doorpost & wall, then backyard fence. Lucky I'm alive & no one in yard. Very traumatic! physical injury (neck/back) helped by ibuprofen. Fwiw air bag didn't deploy. Aaa said they'd only tow for repair, not inspection. I wasn't going to repair; I'd never trust driving that car again & wouldn't sell to anyone to drive, due to grave concern same issue'd recur! available for inspection at picknpull, moss landing, CA. Pnp corp agreed they'd haul away only for its other parts—order taker understood it had untrusted accelerator pedal / vehicle speed control. They also promised me they wouldn't let anyone drive it! of 2009 Corolla NHTSA's 1,523 rpts, "vehicle speed control" is 3rd highest, far > nearly all other rpts.
