Taillamps are inadequate at night. You can barely see these cars ahead because the taillamps are only lit up by a tiny dot of red light at the corner of each taillamp at night. Drivers of these vehicles are in danger of being rammed at night.

Owner report 11666990 · 2025-06-15 (June 15, 2025)
I had the 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross LE for one week and have experienced two occurrences of a serious safety concern. After coming to a complete stop (with the auto stop turned off), I will accelerate for a few second before the car completely loses power in the middle of the road. After a few seconds, it seems to pick back up and continue like nothing happened. This malfunction has left me in situations that will cause an accident. I am terrified to put my [XXX] and [XXX] back in this car just to be a sitting duck waiting to be hit by other …

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…
