1 Software problem of the 2014 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 09/08/2018

Both the display and functionality of my 2014 Corolla's bluetooth radio navigation unit suddenly stopped working and it appears to be in a never-ending reboot cycle. A picture of the unit appears on the screen with a loading bar underneath it as if it's trying to update its software. However, regardless of how far the loading bar gets, the screen will eventually turn black and start the reboot process all over again. This happens continuously without it ever completing the process, rendering my entire bluetooth radio navigation unit completely useless. Not even the usb charger or aux input will work. After doing some research it turns out to be a very common issue for 2014 Corollas and it largely began happening right after the vehicles� 36 month warranty period ended. I believe Toyota has already released a technical service bulletin in regards to the matter (TSB 0172. 16). It's also a huge safety issue. I bought this car when I moved to California so that I would have the ability to navigate hands free and safely talk on the phone in emergency situations�per the wireless communications device law in California. Now because of this hardware issue, my safety is being jeopardized. Also, because the screen is constantly rebooting, it keeps flashing on and off while I am driving�making it a significant distraction when driving at night.

3 Software problem of the 2014 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 01/10/2017

Audio/navigational unit is not functional, rendering all features (other than actual mobility) non-functional - I travel/live in a hands free city/state, and specifically purchase this vehicle for audio/navigational unit and the blue tooth technology. Also, flashes light uncontrollably while it constantly reboots (distraction - especially at night and during inclement weather). Cannot access diagnostic information on vehicle (tires, engine, etc. ) as promoted/promised from entune software. Toyota has a known issue but will not replace the unit (t-sb 0172. 16) and states it was due to warranty expiration, but never notified customer (I. E. Me) about issue even when I reached out to Toyota to resolve. Even when I notified a local service/dealership, they ignored my safety concerns. Originally Toyota said they would help (September), now (December) they are stating they will not.

5 Software problem of the 2010 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 03/11/2010

I have leased a 2010 Corolla in July 2010 it now has approx. 4200 miles on it I continue to have unexplained what appears to be electronic or computer software problems with the vehicle. One instance was I put the car in drive, but the car did not move, but the engine revved when I put my foot on the gas pedal. I then put the car in neutral and back into drive and the car functioned normally. I then drove approx 6 miles round trip and returned home, put the car in park, I had my foot on the brake, and my hands were touching nothing I was reading something that I had in my hand and the high beams popped on the light illuminated on the dash, it was fairly light out so I don't imagine that is a feature, it was a bit overcast and cloudy. The odometer at some point changed from displaying miles with 10ths and only displays full number miles, I think it was after I accidentally hit the alarm button on the remote key that it changed but I don't know for sure. I also believe the car's computer was not properly set upon delivery, or they put in a software upgrade when I went to the dealership. The invoice shows they did a computer reset. The recall fix has already been performed on this vehicle, and I am now unable to get a response from Toyota, I have been waiting 3 days since I reported it to the dealership and I have not received a response, and today I can not get through to Toyota or the dealership due to high call volume.
