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.
I recently purchased a used 2017 Corolla and I agree with 2 others that the windshield has a design flaw. It is extremely angled in toward the car and reflects the dashboard in the window. The dashboard is like a mirror and the ventilation levers that run along the dash reflect in the lower half of the window and thus cut off visibility. I have to wear sunglasses whenever I drive it and even so, need to be very careful not to hit a pedestrian etc. I called Toyota national but tina C. (case #1910213249) denied having any knowledge of complaints about this. Very dangerous feature and after being a life-long Toyota owner, I am ready to switch.
The vehicle was stationary and when I went to drive my vehicle I found a stress crack on the wind shield starting from the top at the passenger side and it cracked toward the driver side. I found this to be a safety issue, so I conducted some research and found that this is not the first time that a stress crack has occurred in the Toyota vehicles so this was not an isolated incident. I took the vehicle to the Toyota dealer, where I purchased it and a glass specialist conducted an inspection and he confirmed that it was a manufactured defect. This is cause for concern because I was told that even though it was deemed as a manufactured defect that the windshield will not be replaced by the dealer. So through no fault of my own, I was told that I had to put in an insurance claim by a Toyota manager. This is a safety issue and an investigation should be conducted on these vehicles.
1917 Toyota Corolla has a design flaw. When sun shines on windshield the dashboard image appears on windshield and impede visibility. I reported matter to Toyota corporation and a case no. 1800320050 was set up by one patty. Her phone no 1-800-331-4331. I was send to Liberty Toyota the dealer but they could not do anything about it, and refer the matter to Toyota headquarters.
Problem is the windshield. Part of the whindshiled reflects picture of the dashboard while driving under certain sunlight condition. Picture of the dashboard appears on the windshield under certain sunlight condation.. the bottom of the windshield works like a mirror. Picture goes and comes depending on the reflecting of sunglight
