2016 Toyota Corolla Complaint Log

THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT WITH ALL THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED,DATE OF CRASH APR.16,2016 AT 10.25 PM.HSMV REPORT 385303651,I FEEL THE AIRBAGS DID NOT PROTECT ME PROPERLY,AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED TO AUCTION CLASS LAW SUITE.

IN THE LAST 5 DAYS, I HAVE SEEN AT LEAST 4 TOYOTA COROLLA'S WITH LED HEADLIGHTS ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT WITHOUT THEIR TAILLIGHTS ON. I BELIEVE THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT THE LED HEADLIGHT OPTION RUNS ALL DAY LONG, SO PEOPLE ASSUME THEIR LIGHTS ARE AUTOMATIC? THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS SOMEONE ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT CANNOT SEE THESE TOYOTA COROLLA'S IN FRONT OF THEM WHEN THE TAILLIGHTS ARE OFF. IN TOTAL, I HAVE PROBABLY SEEN AT LEAST 40+ COROLLA'S WITHOUT THEIR LIGHTS ACTUALLY TURNED ON, BUT THE HEADLIGHTS ALWAYS SHINE. I TRY TO FLASH MY LIGHTS AT THE DRIVERS TO SIGNAL THE PROBLEM, BUT FEW REALIZE THE ISSUE SINCE THEY ARE UNAWARE THEIR LIGHTS ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE LED HEADLIGHTS WERE ACTIVATED BUT THE LOW BEAMS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE ADEQUATE LIGHTING ON THE ROAD AHEAD, WHICH DISTORTED THE VISIBILITY. THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE ENGAGED IN ORDER TO VIEW THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 250. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED WITH A LOUD NOISE LIKE A GUNSHOT WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AT 75MPH. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THERE IS A FLAW IN THE GLASS AND THAT THIS DID NOT RESULT FROM TRAFFIC DEBRIS (NO OVERPASS NEAR)

BRAKES MAKE A GRINDING NOISE AS SOON AS BOUGHT CAR, TOOK FOR 1ST OIL CHANGE AND TOLD THEM, ALSO DRIVES LIKE FLOATING OR WEAVING DOWN HIGHWAY ALSO TOLD ABOUT AT DEALERSHIP. NOW THE HEATER AND AIR IS NOT RIGHT ALL THE TIME.

WHEN DRIVING THIS MODEL, WHICH I OWN, I BELIEVE THE LED LIGHTING MAKES THESE CARS UNSAFE AT NIGHT. WHAT I WILL CALL THE LED HORIZON WHICH FLUCTUATES GREATLY ON HILLY OR UNEVEN ROADS, CAUSES LOSS OF NEEDED VISION. FLUCTUATION IN PAVEMENT REDUCES FORWARD VISION TO AS LITTLE AS A CAR LENGTH GOING DOWNHILL & PUTS IT INTO THE CLOUDS GOING UPHILL. & EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN ON SLIGHTLY UNEVEN ROADS. THE HORIZON IS CAUSED BY TOTAL LACK OF LIGHT - LED LIGHTS DON'T SHADE OR REFLECT GRADUALLY TO DARKNESS, BUT HAVE THAT SUDDEN CUT OFF RESULTING IN A TUNNEL VISION EFFECT. I HAVE TO LIVE WITH & DRIVE IN FOOTHILLS AT NIGHT. I COMPLAINED BY PHONE & EMAIL TO MANUFACTURER. I BROUGHT UP POSSIBLE REWIRING, DIFFERENT BULBS, ANYTHING AT 5000 MILE SERVICE & THAT I'D GLADLY PAY FOR SOME LIGHTING IMPROVEMENT. DEALER HELP SAID "NO ONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED" & THERE IS NOTHING ALLOWED NOR AVAILABLE TO HELP IMPROVE LIGHTING. MANUFACTURER SAID THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS. I CITED 2015 COROLLA COMMENTS ON THIS SITE & LATER EMAILED THEM THE IIHS STUDY. SINCE TOYOTA OBVIOUSLY HAS THE PRIUS V LIGHTING FIGURED OUT & THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE I STRONGLY BELIEVE ALL CARS WITH LED NEED TO BE BROUGHT UP TO SAFE STANDARDS. THIS DOESN'T MEAN JUST TOYOTAS, BUT OTHER BRANDS AFFECTED. THE LITTLE CAR IS OUTDRIVING HEADLIGHTS AT 30 MPH. THAT & MAKING ALL NEWER CARS SO LOW THEY SINK INTO WATER PUDDLES TOO EASILY ARE SAFETY PROBLEMS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED INDUSTRY WIDE. I'LL GIVE THE DATE OF 1ST DRIVE, BUT OF COURSE IT IS ONGOING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE'S SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO INDICATE THE ACCURATE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

HEAD RESTRAINT/HEADREST IS SO EXTREMELY PAINFUL THAT IT HAS TO BE REMOVED OR REVERSED TO SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT I WAS IN A ROAD WHERE THE SPEED LIIMIT WAS 25-35 MPH. MOSTLY A STRAIGHT ROAD A FEW SLIGHT CURVES. A CAR CAME OVER INTO MY LANE AND CAUSED ME TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID HITTING THAT PERSON HEAD ON. I WENT INTO A DITCH FULL OF HUGE ROCKS. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED WHICH IN MY OPINION TFHEY SHOULD HAD, BUT FROM WHAT I HEAR IT MAY HAVE CAUSED EVEN MORE DAMAGE. ANYWAYS I COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE CAR WHO SWERVED INTO MY LANE. MY CAR WAS DAMAGED IT HIT STRAIGHT FORWARD INTO THE HUGE ROCKS. I WAS PRETTY SORE BUT DID NOT GO TO THE ER. MY CAR HAD A PRETTY GOOD AMOUNT OF DAMAGE BUT LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT OUT OF THE DITCH. IT BUSTED UP THE FRONT OF MY CAR NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDED, AND CAUSED QUITE THE DAMAGE TO MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. NORMALLY MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WOULD HAD BEEN RIIDING ON THAT SIDE. LUCKILY SHE WASN'T THAT DAY.
