Sunroof exploding while driving. Could cause safety issues if inner compartment was opened when the incident occurred. The vehicle has not been inspected yet but I will have a glass company replace the sunroof asap. No symptoms of any fault was present before the incident occurred.

Sunroof suddenly exploded while driving 40 MPH on a highway No evidence of projectile was in the car. The glass was volcanoed up. It was around 50 degrees outside. I was immediately confused as to what happened. I was traveling in a merging lane and could have vered into the other lane and hit another car. Glass was Falling down onto me and the passenger seat. No police were called I took the vehicle to a glass repair. Insurance was not involved as my dectiable would not have been meet for the cost of the repairs.

Car accelerates hard from stationary idle. Happening for several weeks. Yesterday accelerated from idle at a 4 way stop intersection almost caused an accident. Very scary. Not comfortable using it until problem remedied.
Takata recall I feel that one year is entirely too long to ask people to simply "avoid having people ride in the passenger seat". perhaps if more people speak up, manufacturers will feel more inclined to rectify this issue promptly.
The first thing I noticed was at least two weeks ago when I couldn't adjust the radio volume while driving, thought maybe there was a safety feature that wouldn't allow you to do so if driving. Today we hopped in the car to do a quick errand and noticed the radio had no display on it. While friend was in the store tried turning the radio off and back on again, then tried turning the car off and back on again finally tried pushing every button that was related to the radio. The first button would turn the radio off the next would turn it back on and so on and so forth and that is all they would do. Came home and researched this to be a chronic problem with late model Corollas. The frightening thing isn't that it isn't fixable but rather that it recurs within about 2 years time from the first time and mine is 6 years old and I have had it 1 month. It also sounds like more electrical systems seem to get involved the older the car is. I don't know if I can afford to buy another used car so soon on what I make. I hope someone looks into this so these cars aren't flooding the resale market. The vehicle was both stationary and moving and it was at night so the lights were on. I live in mn and the temperature was about 38 degrees.
Both of the sun visors have gotten so loose that they no longer function. I can't lift them up to see at night, and when I go up a hill, it's impossible to see what's ahead. They partially block the view of the road ahead at all times when I'm driving. The only way to correct it is to purchase new visors and have a dealership install them. I see that many of these cars have a recall because of sun visor problems, however, mine is not on the list. I called the dealership and they confirmed it was a problem, but they can't fix them. All sun visors in these cars should be replaced without customers having to pay out of pocket.
I drive quite a bit and normally know my vehicles pretty good. I have recently obtained this 2011 Toyota Corolla S and it is in great condition overall. I made a trip 2 days after getting the vehicle and immediately noticed a hesitation between 55-65 mph. The first time it was approximately 11am in the morning at 78F. Driving on a flat well maintained black top road the vehicle does in fact have a constant hesitation that drops approximately 1000-2000 rpms with a noticeable feel in the vehicle. Immediately (3-4 sec) after the hesitation the vehicle recovers back to the original RPM. As long as staying in this speed range (55-65 mph) the vehicle has the hesitation repeatedly. The second issue that I have noticed on the same vehicle is the actual deceleration when removing my foot from accelerator. When traveling on the same road and time as stated above the vehicle seems to really coast right along or so it seems. When saying this, I removed my foot from accelerator and the vehicle rolls right along as if I am still pushing the accelerator at which time I must apply the brake more significantly than letting it just coast. I would like to know how this is effecting my gas mileage, is it going to cause undue strain on the drivetrain, is this going to be a problematic issue that Toyota is going to continue to ignore?
On January 7, 2016 we brought our car to the weston, Florida Toyota dealership because a check engine light was on. The service writer said there was a problem with the "canister" and that it had to be replaced. They gave us a loner-car and said the problem would be fixed in two days. Later that week, the service writer told us the computer had to be replaced and it would be "a while" until the part arrived. We still have the "loaner" and the car has been at the dealership since January 7th. Today is April 27th. So far 110 days. The loaner car is very nice (2015 Toyota Corolla). My wife loves the back-up camera, but her car still sits at the dealership. The car has 44,000 miles and has been repaired only once before. Interestingly, the previous problem with the car had to do with the computer. The car would lose over 100 RPM at highway speeds and then quickly accelerate back up to the preceding RPM. I think the mechanic said that he flashed the computer or something else that made me think (in layman's language) that he "rebooted" the car's computer. This week the service manager said that they expect the new computer to arrive by May 15th. I wrote a letter to southeast Toyota and their representative called to let me know that we were not alone but there are over 50 cars in their system that need new computers. It seems to me that the most popular car in the world should have an adequate supply or suppliers to replace the ones that go bad...to get a computer from manufacturing to the dealership should take fewer than five months. What do you think?
3 months after purchasing this vehicle, mice starting coming into the air filtration system. I have tried to keep them out however the design flaw in the cabin air intake will not prevent them from coming in. There is a huge opening where they constantly come in. I have 2 small children and this is very very dangerous between diseases and threat of wires being chewed. We also had a Toyota Tundra that had this same problem. My husband traded it in and has a Ford now and does not have a problem at all with mice.
