The bypass coolant valve has failed. Car displays message stating engine maintenance required but no other warning signs. Diagnostic test proved that it-??s the bypass coolant valves. Upon further research this seems to be a frequent problem on the 2019 to 2022 Toyotas.
The clutch slave cylinder started leaking fluid. Luckily I noticed this issue before the level was too low. This is especially dangerous as this fluid is shared with the brake system so a loss of too much fluid could cause both a loss of clutch control and a loss of brakes. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic and the issue was found. This issue is also very commonly reported on forums about the 2019 corolla hatchback with a manual transmission.
Clutch/transmission going out. Would not go into gear while driving ! Turned car off then started it up again and regained function. Replaced entire clutch components back in July of 2022. Been driving manual transmission vehicles for over 20 years and never had an issue with clutch or transmission. Plenty of documentation of this issue on Toyota forum sites.
Driving up a slight grade, vehicle shuddered and then felt like it popped out of gear. Would not engage in any gear and now I am unable the shift into park or any other gear
I purchased my 2019 corolla hatch manual new. Before even 9000 miles I started having transmission issues. I could not shift into first when the car was cold. It was like hitting a wall. I had to cycle through all the other gears before it would go back into first. I took it to Toyota. They were unable to replicate the issue. It happened so sporadically I asked the technician what would happen if I had transmission issues in the future since they were unable to witness the problem. He assured me that the issues were documented, and it would not be a problem at all. Now at 30000 I am having serious issues. The clutch is engaging late, it is chattering in first and second and there are metallic fragments in my transmission fluid. The entire transmission and clutch assembly is going to have to be replaced. Toyota is stating that it will probably not be covered by my warranty because the clutch is a wear item. I've driven a manual for decades. I've put over 100000 miles on a Toyota clutch I previously owned that still worked perfectly when I sold it. This issue is not a driver caused issue. The 2019 is notorious for transmission and clutch issues if you search any kind of forums. The automatic transmission was recalled; however, the manual owners are just up creek without a paddle because Toyota can claim it's all a wear issue caused by the driver. I have not received a decision from the warranty department yet, but I am pretty sure it is not going to be covered by the warranty. A car should not have transmission/clutch issues prior to 9000 miles and be at the owner's expense especially if it is documented.

The car has been hard to shift manual transmission since new. Sometimes will not go into gear, so you have to skip that gear. Now it started making a noise and has no power. It has 55k miles, dealership says it needs a new flywheel, throw-out bearing and clutch. They claim that is not covered under the 60,000 mile warranty. It's been at the dealership previously, at least 2 times for the shifting problem before. Those times dealership dismissed it as normal operation and didn't find any shifting problem.
Transmission came apart internally The 2019 hatchback Corolla's were covered under the warranty but the Sedan's weren't but they have the same engine and transmission in it. Took the car to Toyota for inspection but they wouldn't cover under the warranty.
I have been losing power on my 2019 Toyota corolla hatchback since I purchased this new vehicle I have taken it to the dealer many times and they have been unable to fix it, lately in the past 6 months I have been getting a sign that only stays on for a few seconds when I lose power and I have been unable to read it so I purchased a dash camera and I mounted it in front of the vehicle screen and today I was able to capture and it said Accelerator and Brake Pedals Pressed Simultaneously. This is incorrect I only drive with one foot; I know my vehicle is now out of warranty but I have had this same problem since I purchased the vehicle. Please help I have written to toyota many times for the same problem this time I have proof of what it is doing and I am 100 percent sure I am not driving with 2 feet, this is a safety incident since the vehicle looses power

Waiting at a stop light, The light turns green and I go to pull through the intersection with the intention of going under the overpass to get on the freeway. When the car gets to about 10-15 mph The car makes a pop noise & stalled. It felt like suddenly it was dragging a lot of weight and slowly I guided it to the right side of the road under the overpass for the freeway. I tried to start the vehicle and I didn-??t do anything I couldn-??t move the shifter and that-??s when I knew the transmission had to of been the issue. So I called roadside assistance through my insurance they said it would be 90 minutes I had to wait underneath the freeway with the vehicle. A AAA tow truck driver that was about to board the freeway stopped even though he didn-??t have the call And tried to see if I had AAA so he could tell me, I did not So he got in to see what was wrong with the vehicle immediately you could tell the shifter he then pulled out what he called the belief shift override and he put a screwdriver To release the shifter I get it into neutral so when the tow truck driver showed he could tow it. I had called Toyota to make sure that I could have the car towed there he said that-??s fine. When I arrived to the Toyota dealership the service department was closed because it was Sunday which I understood but I had to be to work at nine and it was already close to two. I have two sons that were both at their daycare/babysitter which I would-??ve need to return to pick up at 6 PM 7 PM the latest. All the representatives had no help for me even with it being my third car from the dealership. The Toyota Corolla LE is a 2019 with only 29,149 miles on it. I-??m a light driver the vehicle goes to work & the grocery store. I had a service appointment Scheduled for August 6 at 7 AM For a basic service check fluids rotate tires, no oil change, received email 8:20am Claiming I canceled appointment. Night before incident check engine light came

My clutch pedal squeaks and feels spongy at times. I have vibrations coming from clutch pedal when accelerating and releasing clutch almost at bite point. There are times when I'm at a stop and put in first gear and go the clutch vibrates and a I get almost like a growling or chattering coming from transmission. My clutch tends to act up more in the city. It almost seems like if the concentric slave cylinder is going out.
Toyota recalled most Toyota vehicles my car was one of them at the beginning of the year my vehicle sat at an all stat Toyota in baton rouge, la 70815 for over 3 to 4 months while I drove a rental by the company itself. When I received the vehicle back I was told all of the defects were completed and my car should be running perfect. Immediacy within that week my car was still 'stalling' I have two small children, I immediacy told the service manager, he drove my vehicle around the block and determined nothing was wrong on his end and didn't offer me any other remedy. Not only do I not think this is right the negligence in Toyota of the safety of their customers is beyond me, again I have two small children til this day my vehicle stalls at certain points especially going through oncoming traffic. How am I supposed to drive this car and I'm putting myself and my children's life in danger. And if we die because of this defect Toyota will continue to make millions off of their negligence.
I was traveling North oh hwy.45 out of galveston tx. The car`S cruse control was set on 60 mph. I had just cleared the last overpass and was on the flat road when the motor ran up to 4000 RPM with no speed increase. The cruse was still set at 60 mph.. the car bumped and the the RPM. Dropped to 1600 RPM. I call the dealer and they told me to just drive it and watch it. I don`T think this is a normal operation.
The problem that I'm having is that at times such as when at a stop sign or U turns and mainly when I need to cross a lane in a speedy way the vehicle looses power, if I need to cross a street and I give it gas the vehicle will start moving but only at a very low speed, a few times if it wasn't for the other vehicles stopping or slowing down I would have gotten hit, when this is happening I give it all the gas but it still doesn't go any faster it takes between 5 and 10 seconds before it finally picks speed, just last week I got cursed at because another driver assumed I was slowing down in front of his vehicle on purpose. This does not happen all the time maybe 2 or 3 times a week but it is very scary when it happens because once the vehicle starts to move it's too late to put it on reverse. Over the past year I have taking this to two different dealers and none were able to find a fault. Please help before myself, my wife or my son gets kill
