On February 14th, my 2025 Toyota Corolla Hybrid (approx. 17,000 miles) experienced a catastrophic failure. Without warning, the steering wheel completely locked, preventing any control. Simultaneously, the automatic emergency collision braking system malfunctioned, locked the brakes, and would not disengage. This total loss of control forced the vehicle to crash into a median. Toyota Corporate has ignored my case for 30 days. This is a severe, life-threatening manufacturing defect that caused a crash and destroyed my sole source of income.

I was driving at 2pm after an Ice Storm had hit texas and a majority of ice was missing but there was a small patch under a bridge. There were two stoplights once which was not under a bridge and one about 50-100 in front which was. I had accelerated to about 20 before the other light changed to red and I attempted to stop but due to ice I kept sliding forward adn the ABS was going wild and while I had the brake held down the pedal was going wild from the ice and after the car has stopped the brake pedal arm had bent so drasticly my brake lights wouldn't turn off due to the pedal arm being bent into the sensor below the dash. Toyota then refused to cover any part of the repair cost under the warrenty due to outside influence. I did not and could not have expected that using the brake pedal in an emergency situation would brake the brake pedal and they refuse to cover it under manufacturer warranty.

Two incidents of rodent eating the wires of the car in a span of two weeks that cause a lot of money to repair. Dealership did mention that wires have soy based insulation which was the cause. Newer Toyota Cars have the same problem which a coworker of mine had last year and my brother as of this date have the same problem.

I am writing to inform you of some recurring issues with my vehicle. The car has been displaying several (5) alerts, including those related to the parking brake system, drive-start control system, check engine light, vehicle stability control system, and secondary collision brake system. I took the car to a dealer for repairs, and they assured me that the issues were resolved. However, the following day, the problems reappeared. Additionally, when I start the car, it emits an unusual sound and begins to shake. Unfortunately, The dealer had 5 days my car to repair and denied to provide a rental car. I don't understand the reason if my car is new and the problem is manufacturing I would appreciate your assistance in addressing these ongoing concerns.

exactly one year after purchase and with approximately 18,000 miles on the vehicle — the original factory-installed front right tire catastrophically failed while I was driving under normal conditions. The tire blew out suddenly with complete sidewall separation, causing loss of vehicle control. There was no prior tire pressure warning before the failure occurred. Tire size: 225 /40R18 88V

My back seats indicate that there is someone seating in them. The alarm for the seatbelt will go off. I have to buckle all the seats to prevent this.

Today while merging into the high way the car suddenly slowed down to 40 miles per hour and would not accelerate . We took the car to Toyota however they said they could not find any thing or replicate the problem

I have had several issues with the car. As issues have not been address problems become more unsafe. Most recently i have had intermittent issues with steering. The wheel will randomly be hard to turn leaving the car to drift uncontrollably. I have gone to the dealership but because they cannot replicate the issue nothing has been done. I have gone 3 different times to get them to address the concern but they cannot replicate it so they have not examined anything. They turned off the safety setting instead of checking the ADAS and since turning off the systems the issues are less frequent, but still a concern. I have contacted corporate who has not helped come to a resolution to ensure the vehicle is safe to operate.

While driving on the freeway, the steering wheel wobles and the entire car sways left and right. I am fearing for my life!

Purchased 6/25 a 2025 Toyota Corolla LE with 16,000 miles as a Pre-Certified Gold Platinum. Car has a constant front end, ride side rattle that does not go away. Advised by dealership it is a manufacturer characteristic. Impossible on a new car and from a billion dollar manufacturer. I was advised to turn up my radio in order not to hear it. Dealership and or Toyota itself has not serviced the vehicle after attempts with the explanation that it is road safe. Well if road safe, how do you know when you don't say what the problem is other than a piece of metal clanking and no remedy by Toyota. So how do I know this vehicle is safe to drive?? No one helps. Words mean nothing and to then say raise radio volume therefore causing another road distraction. If the car can't be fixed than what? Is it really road worthy?

Driving on highway around 65mph, car shut down internally completely blacking out inside. Turned back on a few seconds later while still driving all lights were blinking. Pushed the SOS no-one answered pushed again then someone came on. Matches the same description on the other 2025-26 hybrids in the corolla cross and camry hybrid.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The wireless charging unit/electrical system failed. The unit is still in the vehicle and available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? While driving with all doors securely closed, the system displays false “door open” error messages and disables the wireless charging function. These false alerts distract the driver and could cause confusion or unsafe reactions. The issue undermines confidence in the reliability of the vehicle’s electrical and safety systems. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. The Toyota dealership confirmed the problem and reported replacing the wireless charging unit, but the defect persists. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? Yes. The vehicle has been inspected by the Toyota dealership and reviewed by Toyota Customer Care. Toyota denied further assistance (Case #250811002888, letter dated August 21, 2025). Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes. Shortly after purchase, the vehicle displayed false “door open” messages when attempting to use the wireless charger. These warnings cause the system to stop charging and continue to appear despite the dealer’s attempted repair.

2025 Toyota Corolla SE Just wanted to bring attention to the gauge cluster (when the sun is streaming into the car) you cannot read the gauge cluster. The first picture is when the sun is streaming into the car - very hard to read. 2nd picture is upper left side with partial sun glare. 3rd pic is what it should look like all the time. The glass over the gauge cluster should be made out of some kind of anti glare glass so that the gauges are clearly visible all the time or gauge hood needs to be larger.

Vehicle driving thru a city street with no lights at 7 mph around 10pm when the Lane Keeping Assistance read a trash can on the left and pickup truck on the right on the narrow street pulling it completed to the right side and hitting a parked vehicle. Vehicle presented initial issues with quick light and noise the day before the incident. Damages does not reflect a vehicle driving at 7mph(GPS tracker video available but unable to upload) Vehicle manufactures ran a completed FTS inspection on 08/22/25 at local dealership - Results will not be provided for another 45 - 60 days.

There is a persistent high-pitched noise coming from my vehicle, which has now led to significant physical symptoms including migraines, nausea, dizziness, and increased sensitivity to sound, has made driving a painful and unsafe experience. The problem occurs nonstop if the a/c or heat is on. The noise is high-frequency, sharp, and continuous, and appears to originate from within the dashboard area or HVAC components. I went to the dealership multiple times with this complaint and they claim it is normal operation. I did not hear the same issue in the cars they compared mine to, but after Toyota's refusal to address the issue i looked it up and there are other reports [XXX] ). When at the dealership, I am continually faced with dismissive responses from the service departments and technicians, who have failed to address the underlying cause of the sound. This sound creates a serious distraction while driving and has caused physical symptoms including headaches, nausea, ear discomfort, and dizziness. These symptoms impair my ability to concentrate and safely operate the vehicle. On longer drives, the effects intensify, increasing the risk of driver fatigue, disorientation, or even potential loss of control. I believe this presents a significant safety hazard, not only due to the physical impact on the driver, but also because it undermines focus and reaction time, especially in high-traffic or high-speed conditions. This issue should be investigated for potential defects in the HVAC design, acoustic insulation, or related components. Please investigate whether this condition is present in other vehicles of the same make/model and consider whether it warrants a safety recall or manufacturer intervention.
