This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
First, the door no open with the control. Second, when I drive the car its no have power, its in slow velocity. When I put in drive, beginning to tremble. Have the light, that said "check".
When accelerating the engine revolutions rise in excess and there is no logical increase in the speed. The transmission software was updated and I think it's worse.
Jsd recall. Car involuntarily accelorates. Bouncing of rmp, revving and sticking at high rev. Team Toyota deemed the transmission unserviceable and refused to do the jsd recall. While highway driving, intersection accelloration car revs and slows down. Advised the cvt trans needs to be replaced at $5500. Car is at 55,000 miles and is apparently over the 5 year factory warrantee by 6 days at time it was brought in for service. Issue only started happening in October 2018, 1 month before the factory warrantee ran out. I was out of town for 10 days and brought the car in for service upon my return and was advised the cvt trans needed replacing before they would do a recall. Picked car up and it was 500 times worse than when I dropped it off 4 days earlier. I have owned more than 2 Toyota and never had an issue. I am more than unhappy with this situation and fee the 5 year/60,000 mile factory warrantee should be honored.

While going down a winding road, the car unexpectedly accelerated at a very high speed and veered to the right and the body was damaged costing over $4000. It was towed back to the dealer; they allegedly placed it on a scanner and claimed nothing was wrong with the vehicle because it not show any 'codes.' I have become familiar with the recent recalls and acceleration problems with this model and would like Toyota to perform a more thorough inspection.
I was driving my car on a crowded city street. It was rush hour and the traffic was sort of stop and go. After a stop, I accelerated my car to about 25 M/H following the car before me, then I noticed my car was going faster than I intended and approaching the car ahead. I applied the brakes in a normal manner, however, the car did not slow down and continued to accelerate. Feeling something was wrong, I slammed on the brakes, but it was not early enough to stop before rear-ending the car. Even after the crash and stop, my car's engine was continuing revving up until I turned off the engine by turning the key. I had a dash cam on my Corolla and the accident was recorded with clear movie and sound.
On 6/19/2016 driving home from running errands, I stopped at at red light but when the light turned green, the car didn't budge even though I was tapping and pressing the pedal. After about 7-8 seconds, the car finally responded and started slowly rolling to normal speed. On the same trip and the last intersection, the car did this again but at a stop sign. The gas pedal was dead when coming out of a complete stop. It took another 7-8 seconds for the engine/transmission to recognize it was time to roll. Luckily there was no cross traffic because I could have easily been hit due to cruising at 5 miles per hour. I'm taking the car tomorrow to the dealer. The car currently has 24,000 miles on it and this is the second time this has occurred. The first time this hesitation happened was in 2015 around the 12,000 mile mark. The car was at stop and didn't do anything for a few seconds when I hit the gas pedal. I took it to the dealer and the dealer could not duplicate the problem. I told them everything that happened and why I took it. This time they sent a service manager with me for a test drive and he said it felt fine. I was sent home with their assurance that the car was fine and that it was a fluke that the engine was acting up but everything was fine. I've read forums where this has happened with other Corollas and Camry. This is dangerous and is an accident waiting to happen. I hope Toyota takes responsibilities with my car and other cars with the same issue. NHTSA, please do something before this transmission/acceleration issue becomes a real safety issue. I have video on my cell phone of the car acting erratic.
When I was driving at night with headlights on, with cruise control on, the car accelerated by itself upto the speed of 85 mph even though I set cruise at 65 mph. I tried this multiple times and all the time it went up to 85 mph and stayed there even though I set it for lower speed. This seems to be happening while the headlights are on. I have drove with cruise on, in the daytime and it works fine. Since then, I have never drove this with cruise on at night.
The car sometimes has a hesitation problem from a dead stop; especially when making a left turn. This creates a scary situation due to I never know when it's going to happen so I have to wait quite awhile for oncoming traffic to spread out much further then normal (about 50 car lengths) sometimes this is not practical so I have to chance it & hope not to get broadsided. The dealership is of no help & I doubt if they have written it down the 2 times I reported it. This problem has happened over 50 times over the last 21 months & started in month # 1. the dealership said that Toyota had a new style transmission & that might be the problem but that is doubtful because the engine RPM's don't come up. The symptoms appear to be a fuel starving problem.
