I was waiting at a stoplight with my foot on the break waiting for it to turn green. I turn the wheel to make a left turn and put my foot on the gas and the car diedall the buzzers whistles and lights were flashing on the dashboard.. I was able to shift the car to park and back to drive but nothing happened I was in the middle of traffic on a busy street and was just getting ready to call the tow truck when I decided to turn the car off. When I turned it back on it was fine and I was able to turn left. That happened to me twice on different occasions. Third time I was turning into a driveway and a truck pulled in front of me I had to put my foot on the break. And then I put my foot on the gas and turned left then right into the driveway and it died. Ithe dashboard said put in park when I put it in park it said engine power low. The first time I took it in to Toyota I was sitting there for six hours and they could find nothing wrong. They told me they were working with corporate and no one had an answer for me. After the third time I called corporate and was dealing with a woman who was very professional and try to be helpful and told me to take a back to the dealership. I took a back left it for two days and they could find nothing wrong. The outcome was that if it happens again I should have it towed back to the Toyota dealer and not turn it on. I am very concerned I am worried about driving and having someone crash in to me if my car stops in the middle of traffic. I had a Toyota before and it was fine but I have to tell you if I get through this one which is a lease I will never buy another one again

After another driver failed to yield right-of-way, I experience a fault with the automated driving assist system which during a merge of two highways in California; and failure of road structures allowed an older passenger truck to hit the Toyota's driver's rear tire and wheel well at a high rate of speed without evasive, defensive or warning from the 2020 Corolla hybrid's

We bought the car on 07-29-19 and on 08-04-19 while driving home from Maryland the car sensor lights started flashing after only 250 miles on the car. The flashing lights were for brakes and parking brake, lane departure and assist, back up and front camera, check engine, tire pressure, head lights, and rsa malfunctions. Basically the entire safety system of the car malfunctioned while I was driving. This happened on five different occasions while driving it. 7-29-19, 8-2, 5, 9-19 and the car was in motion each time while on a highway. I had it to the dealer twice and they are still working on it. The first time they said the car needed to be reprogrammed and they couldn't duplicate the problem and the second time the service manager is claiming it is a wire which I find it difficult to believe since there are multiple codes and I don't think they all go through one wire. Our family does not feel comfortable driving the car when all of these lights are flashing and not knowing if the car is safe to drive and if the safety features in the car will operate properly. I have video and pictures of the codes that were flashing if needed. I could not upload them due to the size of the files.
