07/09/19 - three days after taking delivery of a brand new 2020 Corolla sedan, my car stalled in the middle of a busy city street. I was stationary with foot on the brake waiting to make a left turn. When I took my foot of the brake and attempted to accelerate, it had a complete power failure. Red warning light came on saying engine power low. I was unable to start the car again for several minutes. I was nearly hit by cars going around me. I took it to the dealer for service and there were no error codes and they could not duplicate the problem. 08/06/19 - my brother was driving on a highway in stop and go conditions during rush hour traffic. With his foot on the gas pedal, the entire vehicle jerked or jumped several times in succession, stopped and then did the same thing twice more. It felt as if it was going to lose power or not getting enough gas. I took it back to same dealer for service. Once again, no error codes and they were unable to duplicate the problem. Service foreman told me those 2 incidents were definitely related. I reported both issues very dangerous incidents to Toyota customer support as I feel that I am driving an unsafe vehicle. At first, they were receptive and even sent a Toyota factory representative to inspect the car. Then my case manager told me they found nothing wrong and "could not verify my concerns". she said there was nothing more they could do and there were no repairs to be made. After doing more research online, I found that the 2019 Corolla hatchback was recalled in December 2018 to replace the cvt transmission due to a manufacturing error that could cause loss of motive power. The info I read stated the exact same engine is in the 2020 Corolla sedan, but it has not been included in a recall. I am very concerned for my safety, as well as that of my passengers, and other vehicles.
