Owner report 11676613 · 2025-07-28 (July 28, 2025)
This is a safety concern: 2025 Toyota Corolla cross with no damage history and happening since brand new. 1) Lane keeping: there are 2 types, one with cruise control and one without. For the one with cruise control, the system has a hard time tracking center and shoulder lines and OFTEN pulls in the wrong direction. This is ESPECIALLY true in certain circumstances and the vehicle has almost caused a collision several times, with both the owner and other Toyota-experienced drivers, necessitating turning off this feature. When the road is a rural…

Owner report 11701488 · 2025-11-25 (November 25, 2025)
Engine turned off at stop light while stopped for about 30 seconds, then started a long beep. The engine light and the power steering light came on. The screen also said put in park and restart engine. I did and it started back up and the dashboard warnings went away. It was unsafe because when the light changed to green I couldn't immediately accelerate and the cars behind me could not either. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer, they cannot find anything wrong.

Owner report 11748341 · 2026-07-05 (July 5, 2026)
At around 4:20 pm I was turning left at a stop sign (did not put on turning signal) and then about 30 feet later, turning right at a light. This is the same location I have driven for the past month. The car had been on for about 3 minutes after sitting in a hot parking lot all day (104 degrees). All of a sudden (after turning left) but before/during was turning right, the car’s steering wheel locked and transmission just started beeping. I could not turn the steering wheel more than about 5 degrees in either direction, so instead of turning ri…

Owner report 11757009 · 2026-08-14 (August 14, 2026)
I turned on the car after it had been sitting in the hot sun for about 4 hours (after a 180 mile trip). When I turned on the vehicle, about a minute into driving (on a gravel driveway), the car started blaring multiple lights and the steering wheel locked. Notifications were “System Failure" & "Electric Power Steering Malfunction - please contact dealer.” The steering wheel completely locked/uncontrollable - 3 others tried to help me. I was going ~5 mph when it happened. I was able to put the car into park & turned it off for 10min. On restart,…
