Owner report 11563072 · 2024-01-02 (January 2, 2024)
On 11/29/23 after 11:30pm, I was in the process of clearing an exit and at the tail end of the exit it felt like the car was "correcting" itself and I was unable to stay turning right. The steering wheel felt locked and I was unable to control the car. The car impacted the guardrail and I was able to regain control after the initial impact. -This is a BRAND NEW car with less than 100 miles at the time of the accident. - Prior to the collision, there were no warning signals from the dashboard. - I was not injured from the accident as I was on…

Owner report 11603837 · 2024-07-22 (July 22, 2024)
I was accelerating on an on-ramp to merge with traffic on a freeway, and my corolla’s engine shut itself off. All the electronics stayed on and flashed the messages ‘Parking brake malfunction’ and something along the lines of ‘Secondary collision brake system malfunction’. I was stuck coasting in traffic and could not start the engine in neutral. I had to make the car come to a complete stop on the freeway in a lane with no shoulder, put it in park, turn it off, and then back on again. All messages and lights disappeared. I took it to a toyota …

Owner report 11607766 · 2024-08-10 (August 10, 2024)
The system that is problematic for this vehicle is the Pre Collision System (PCS). This system is way too sensitive even on the lowest sensitivity setting, and I have experienced the car braking in error on multiple occasions when driving up or down a windy road. When I approach a bend in the road and there is a car parked on the side of the street, my Corolla will think that I am about to collide with the parked vehicle and make a loud beeping noise and automatically hit the brakes. This has frightened me on a number of occasions, and I am con…

Owner report 11617320 · 2024-09-30 (September 30, 2024)
This is an issue I have noticed with my car shortly after I bought it. The problem is that the car has a noticable delay in acceleration when accelerating from a complete stop. After doing some research online, I found that the cause was the car's CVT transmission, and that a delay in acceleration happens with other cars with CVT transmissions as well. This could be potentially dangerous especially when making right turns on a red light or when making unprotected lefts on a green, as the window of opportunity to go is sometimes short in those s…

Owner report 11595388 · 2024-06-19 (June 19, 2024)
My vehicle stalled when pulling out into traffic. I lost power steering and electrical and the engine died. The vehicle had to be restarted to continue driving. I was going about 1 to 2 mph when the issue happened. The vehicle was in motion and stalled while other vehicles were in motion putting my safety at risk, had I been going any faster or if there was an increased amount of traffic. I reported the problem to the dealer service center, but they were unable to reproduce it. The vehicle was inspected by Toyota only, no police or insuranc…

Owner report 11622706 · 2024-10-30 (October 30, 2024)
My son reported driving home from school. He was stopped an intersection ready to make a turn. When he stepped on the gas pedal to go, the engine stopped and a message "Engine Stopped, Steering Power Low" message appeared in the dashboard. Engine light and steering light also came "on" the dash. This may occur while driving and put the driver at risk. His 2024 Toyota Corolla was brought in to the Wesley Chapel Toyota Dealership yesterday 10/29/2024. The technician did not find any error codes and found the battery and alternator to be in good w…

Owner report 11697483 · 2025-11-04 (November 4, 2025)
I am reporting an ongoing safety issue involving the Skid Control ECU and loss of power break recall on my 2024 Toyota corolla hybrid. The first time, my vehicle experienced loss of power brake assist and displayed a “Hybrid System Malfunction” message on screen. I towed my car to Toyota, confirmed it was related to the Skid Control ECU recall and repaired it under the recall at no cost, they did a software update. The second time, the exact same problem reoccurred. I had the vehicle towed again to a Toyota dealership, but this time, they re…

Owner report 11679181 · 2025-08-07 (August 7, 2025)
This is my fourth service visit for the same unresolved safety issue on my 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid. The problem involves a cracked fuel line and fuel vapor leak in the same area as recall 24TC08 (Fuel Tank Filler Clamp and Vapor Leak Detection). The dealership initially failed to detect this during recall work and later claimed “rodent damage” after two prior visits. I have since used a professional-grade MultiRAE Lite gas detector and documented VOC (volatile organic compounds) levels up to 123 ppm inside the vehicle cabin with the windows …
