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.
The factory paint has been peeling very badly and exposing the metal underneath, allowing rust to begin to settle. I have been trying to get it repaired for a while now and continuously have been ignored. I have spoken to Toyota Customer Support and they told me that the warranty expired a couple months ago, and I have no record of them sending any communication out to us telling us it would expire, which was supposed to be what they needed to do per regulations. I was never notified of any resolutions and am extremely upset that they are not wanting to reconsider due to being 2 months out of warranty.
Radio is in constant reboot for months. It-??s very unsafe seeing as the radio screen itself is VERY BRIGHT. It is distracting, bright, and it feels unsafe driving at night with what feels like a flashlight being shined in your face over and over again. Toyota dealers will not fix the issue without paying 1,000$ dollar for the same radio just to do the same thing. There were no warning signs, & it also doesn-??t allow usb ports to work. This seems to be a common problem in most toyotas not just corolla's.
Vehicle stopped accelerating while on highway leading to dangerous slow down with 2 little kids in the car. Car would no longer accelerate despite engine running. Check engine light turned on. Toyota dealer ran diagnostics and found vvti actuator had internally failed. This was a very expensive replacement. I worry that a previous recall for ECM module update came too late before damage had already occured to the vvti actuator prematurely. Car is well taken care of and only 100k miles.
On 11/30/2022 The CHECK light came on. After checking my Toyota manual it showed several reasons for the light. I called the Toyota Dealer (Bryan Easler, Hendersonville, NC) made an appointment for general service and inspection as to why the warning light came on. Was told the warning light was result of rodents chewing through the gas line causing fuel leak. This also happened about three years ago. Because the fuel system is all one piece it couldn't be repaired. I had to pay for a whole new fuel line system, second time I have had to pay for a whole new fuel system. There is no Toyota dealer my my area so I have to travel about forty miles for service. I am a very elderly half cripple woman long distance driving is tiring and dangerous for me, driving with a leaking gas line is dangerous for anyone. This is the second time I've dealt with this problem. There is something seriously wrong with a fuel line being exposed so animals can chew through it. It means I may have to replace it every time a rodent decides to dine on the fuel line. Where can I park and feel safe my gas line won't be destroyed? Not to mention all the other dangers a leaking fuel line can cause. It makes no sense why Toyota would manufacture such a disaster on any car.
I'm writing you about my 2014 Toyota Corolla which I bought from Glendale KIA dealership (400 S. Brand st, Glendale, CA ) in Feb,2022 with a Gold Warranty. It is about selling old (may be used) 2020 four tires to me instead of 2022 tires. I paid for NEW tires and I have the invoice(and credit card transaction, ..) They told me first I only told them NEW tires and I didn't mention 2022 and those tires which are from 2020 are good. Their supervisor on Monday offered me a FULL TANK OF GAS for free instead of new tires and when I said no and I want four new tires 2022. He told me to go there again (Wednesday 03/23/2022) to get new tires but they tried to give me 2020 tires again. I asked them I want to talk with store manger, they said manager is off and when I asked that specific Employees name, he didn't respond and tried to go to other room and I started recording his video and he tried to grab my phone by force. I came out and called 911.The police officers came and went inside of the dealership and stayed with me to take my car outside (with out getting new tires and I'm still have the 2020 tires that they gave me on Monday). I emailed the manager and other guys several times before that day but they didn't respond. They never called back my VM. The scheduling links of their website is broken and from March 15 I tried to email and call them but they never respond. One mor thing, after police officers came one of their associates text me by his personal phone number, . Most of the employees are Arabs, I think they are kind of family and friends Their employees have access to my information(Social Security, My family home address, cellphone, ..) I know in 2019 in California, we had some legal efforts to make car dealers notice the customers about the manufacturing date. My tires manufacturing date is 3820(week 38, year 2020) I also tried to contact with AAA insurance( my car and my life insurance i) and if have an accident because of those old tires.

The infotainment system touch functionality is broken. The lower part of the touchscreen does not respond to touches. This is apparently due to the faulty digitizer layer. The infotainment system is used for everything from accessing the media, to car settings configuration, to properly interacting and setting the phone for hands-free phone calls communication as required by the vehicular laws in my state (California) and many others. This presents a large safety risk, as the driver can be become heavily distracted operating the system. Per my research, this is a widespread problem across the entire Toyota lineup and affects many models and multiple years around 2014 (particular after 2014). You can easily find this problem reported across the internet in many forums and Youtube videos. Although Toyota has issued some TSB's, it looks like, they are only covered in warranty. Toyota refuses to take responsibility for it and does not have any recalls for and the dealer will charge around $1000 to fix it, by changing the infotainment system.
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".
I was sent a recall regarding defective paint chipping and fading, more than a year ago, which states a known issue with the grade of white paint the manufacturer used on Toyota vehicles ( including 2014 Toyota Corolla),and offers to repaint at no cost.I called after registering to have issue corrected only to be given generic answer and, never getting any follow up call or update. My car should be painted as promised
While vehicle is on the thruway traveling around 75 mph my vehicle stops accelerating even when the gas peddle is pressed while vehile is in motioj. Once on the side of the road vehicle has to be towed. This has happened 3 times. Each time it is taken to the shop the codes are checked and vehicle looked over and nothing seems to be wrong with the codes that come up. I called corporate and they told me my VIN was in the recall. Called back a few days later and they said it wasn't. so they gave me false information. I have heard this happened to many other cars lately and believe it should be a recalled issue, no matter what year and model the Toyota is! its dangerous!
The problem started with 3 of the door lock actuators not functioning properly on my 2014 Corolla. The key fob would not activate them. I brought it in for service on 2/8/2020 and the dealer confirmed they were faulty and would order the parts. Within a couple of days, the 4th actuator and the trunk lock actuator also failed. I bought it in on 2/15/2020 to have the first 3 fixed and also to confirm the problem with the other 2 issues so those parts could be ordered. I was told the cost to fix the first 3 would be about $1500! the extended warranty I purchased had expired and so I could not afford this. I was told by the service consultant that he's seen this problem with Corollas. I looked on line and have found numerous complaints for this same vehicle about this same situation. With this number of complaints, I would think there would have been a recall by Toyota as this can be considered a safety issue, considering it takes longer for people to get in their which can subject them to possible criminal activity. They also should do the right thing and fix them at no charge because they know it's a problem. I've attached the service for 2/15/2020 just to show that I did bring it in.
While driving on an interstate (~80mph) I heard a loud noise above me. I noticed glass was on my lap and on the passenger seat. I looked up to see my sunroof had shattered (the sunroof cover was open). I pulled over expecting to find something in my car (I.e. debris from the road) that caused the sunroof damage. No foreign object was found. No other damage (scratch, dent, etc.) was evident on any part of the car. I drive a 2014 Toyota Corolla S.
The stereo system with the touch screen keeps looping in a reboot. The bright screen flashes on and off and on and off continuously while driving causing a distraction as you are unable to switch off the stereo system.
