What 302 owners told NHTSA about the 2020 Toyota Corolla Im

DRIVE ASSIST OCCASIONALLY SWERVES OUT OF LANES AT PARKED VEHICLES, PEDESTRIANS, AND EVEN CARS IN ON COMING LANES. HAPPENS INCONSISTENTLY AND IS UNPREDICTABLE. WHEN THE CAR IS PERFECTLY CENTERED WITH DRIVE ASSIST ON, YOU BEGIN TO LET YOUR GAURD DOWN. WHICH IS WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT YOUR CAR TO FORCIBLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT AN UNSUSPECTED BICYCLIST.

STARTING MONDAY AFTERNOON (01/18/2021) MY CAR HAS BEGUN TO STALL EVERYDAY. IT CONTINUES TO STALL NOW. THURSDAY (01/21/2021) I ALMOST HAD A ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD NOT GO NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED THE GAS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WERE I AM LEASING IT (01/21/2021) AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I SAW ON THE TOYOTA WEBSITE THAT MY CAR WAS APART OF THE FUEL PUMP RECALL EVEN THOUGH WHEN I ENTER MY VIN NOTHING POPPED UP. MAY YOU PLEASE ASSIST ME? I HAVE TO WORK AND I NEED MY VEHICLE IN ORDER TO DO THAT.

THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID SPRAYS OVER THE CAR ONTO CARS/ROAD BEHIND THE CAR. THE WASHER FLUID ALSO SPRAYS INTO THE CAR OF THE SUNROOF IS OPEN. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REPORTS THAT IT'S 'OPERATING AS DESIGNED' AND DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS CONCERNING BECAUSE IT COULD DISTRACT THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WHEN I TRY TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD AND THEY COULD RUN INTO MY VEHICLE, POSSIBLE CAUSING A MULTI-CAR CRASH.

WITH ONLY ABOUT 630 MILES ON MY NEW 2020 TOYOTA COROLLA, THE VEHICLE STALLED SHORTLY AFTER I HAD JUST MADE A TURN IN CITY TRAFFIC; I BELIEVE I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT, AND IT WOULDN'T START UP AGAIN WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I'D BOUGHT IT FIVE MONTHS EARLIER; THEY GAVE IT A THOROUGH INSPECTION, ACKNOWLEDGED THE FACT OF THE STALL, BUT NEVER FOUND THE CAUSE OF IT (COULDN'T "DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM"). THEY HAD NO PROBLEM STARTING THE CAR ONCE IT WAS AT THEIR SERVICE. THIS WAS A ONE-TIME INCIDENT AND I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS SINCE; I AM NOW AT OVER 1,400 MILES. BUT IT MAKES ME UNEASY THAT THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE WAS NEVER UNCOVERED--ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON 2020 COROLLAS FOR FAULTY FUEL PUMPS. (THE FUEL PUMP WAS THE ONE THING THAT WAS NEVER INVESTIGATED AT THE TIME OF THE STALL; THE SERVICE PERSON DIDN'T THINK IT WAS NECESSARY.)

I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A SPEEDER IN WHICH CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGES TO MY VEHICLE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS ADVISED WHEN PURCHASING THIS CAR THAT TOYOTA CONNECTS DETECTS CRASHES AND THAT THE EMERGENCY SYSTEM WOULD CALL THE CAR. UNFORTUNATELY, NOT ONLY DID THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOY BUT THE EMERGENCY SYSTEM DIDN'T NOT CALL THE VEHICLE AS I WAS ADVISED. MY VEHICLE HAS DEFECTS AND THE MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW THINKING IT COULD KEEP ME SAFE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER HAS HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED ME AND FAILED TO ADHERE TO VEHICLE SAFETY.

I WAS WAITING AT A STOPLIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK WAITING FOR IT TO TURN GREEN. I TURN THE WHEEL TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE CAR DIEDALL THE BUZZERS WHISTLES AND LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD.. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE BUT NOTHING HAPPENED I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STREET AND WAS JUST GETTING READY TO CALL THE TOW TRUCK WHEN I DECIDED TO TURN THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IT WAS FINE AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN LEFT. THAT HAPPENED TO ME TWICE ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THIRD TIME I WAS TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY AND A TRUCK PULLED IN FRONT OF ME I HAD TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK. AND THEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND TURNED LEFT THEN RIGHT INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND IT DIED. ITHE DASHBOARD SAID PUT IN PARK WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK IT SAID ENGINE POWER LOW. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN TO TOYOTA I WAS SITTING THERE FOR SIX HOURS AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE WORKING WITH CORPORATE AND NO ONE HAD AN ANSWER FOR ME. AFTER THE THIRD TIME I CALLED CORPORATE AND WAS DEALING WITH A WOMAN WHO WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND TRY TO BE HELPFUL AND TOLD ME TO TAKE A BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I TOOK A BACK LEFT IT FOR TWO DAYS AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE OUTCOME WAS THAT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN I SHOULD HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND NOT TURN IT ON. I AM VERY CONCERNED I AM WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING AND HAVING SOMEONE CRASH IN TO ME IF MY CAR STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I HAD A TOYOTA BEFORE AND IT WAS FINE BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU IF I GET THROUGH THIS ONE WHICH IS A LEASE I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE AGAIN

THE REGULAR HEADLIGHT BEAMS DO NOT LIGHT UP THE ROAD. THEY LIGHT HALF OF THE ROAD. THE ROAD IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER IS COMPLETELY DIM. THE ONLY WAY TO MORE THAN A CAR LENGTH IN FRONT OF THE CAR IS TO ACTIVATE THE HIGH BEAMS. EVEN THEN YOU ARE LIMITED ON HOW MUCH LIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS PUT ON THE ROAD. I AM BLINDED BY ONCOMING CARS. I CANNOT SEE DEER WHEN THEY JUMP OUT FROM THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CANNOT READ ADDRESS SIGNS THAT ARE BASICALLY REFLECTIVE AND IN FRONT OF THE CAR ON THE ROAD UNLESS I DRIVE DIRECTLY UPON THEM AND SHINE THE HIGH BEAMS.

ON SLOW BRAKING AT SPEEDS LIKE 1-2MPH, THE PEDAL VIBRATES WITH SPRING EFFECT. THE ISSUE IS WITH BRAKE PEDAL SPRING WHICH TOYOTA IS NOT READY TO FIX. SHOWN TO DEALERSHIP, AND SERVICE DIRECTOR AT DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND SENT ME AWAY. SECOND TIME, I FILED COMPLAINT AND HAD TOYOTA TECH HAD A LOOK ON IT, THE DEALERSHIP DIRECTOR THEN UPDATED ME SAYING THAT TOYOTA TECH WAS ABLE TO FEEL THE SPRING VIBRATION AND THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT NOW AND THE SPRINT VIBRATION EXISTS ON ALL NEW 2020 MODEL TOYOTA COROLLA'S. REQUEST TOYOTA TO ISSUE A FIX FOR THIS AND ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

THERE IS A DEFECT TO THE LEFT HEADLIGHT OF THIS VEHICLE CAUSING THE LIGHT FROM THE LOW BEAM TO BE BLOCKED BEYOND A DISTANCE OF 60 FEET FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE IN A SPECIFIC PATTERN TO SUGGEST THAT IT IS THE RESULT OF AN ABBERASION OF THE LENS ASSEMBLY. THE DEFECT IS PRONOUNCED ON UNLIT ROADWAYS BECAUSE IS SEVERELY AFFECTS THE ABILITY OF THE OPERATOR TO IDENTIFY THE LEFT HAND LANE MARKINGS AND ANY ROAD SIGNS. THE LIGHT DISAPPEARS IN A "V" PATTERN OF APPROXIMATELY 130 DEGREES FROM WHEN THE INITIAL SOURCE OF LIGHT IS PRONOUNCED UP TO A DISTANCE OF 60'. NOTE THAT THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT SUFFERS NO LIGHTING LOSS AND THE FIELD OF VISION LEFT TO THE LEFT OF THE UNLIT PORTION IS WELL LIT. GATEWAY TOYOTA (THE SELLING DEALER) AND PER THEIR SERVICE MANAGER, TOYOTA USA DESCRIBES THIS AS BEING A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS VEHICLE AND ALL VEHICLES WITH PROJECTOR-STYLE HEADLIGHTS PER "SVMSS" GUIDELINES. AS A FORMER VEHICLE DEFECT INSPECTOR, MOTOR VEHICLE AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT CAUSE AND ORIGIN LOSS INVESTIGATOR, NJ STATE SAFETY AND EMISSIONS INSPECTOR, ASE MASTER-CERTIFIED COLLISION REPAIR TECHNICIAN, ASE-CERTIFIED AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR TECHNICIAN, MERCEDES-BENZ CERTIFIED SERVICE, PARTS AND COLLISION DIRECTOR AND TESLA-CERTIFIED COLLISION ESTIMATOR HAVING OVERSEEN THE SUCCESSFUL REPAIR OF THOUSANDS OF FRONT END IMPACTS REQUIRING HEADLIGHT RE-AIMING AND PROGRAMMING AS REQUIRED, I CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT UNIQUE TO THIS VEHICLE THAT CONTINUES TO AFFECT ITS SAFE OPERATION WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM TOYOTA USA IN REACHING A RESOLUTION.

DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A CHEMICAL BUILDUP ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT COULD AFFECT THE SAFETY CAMERA SENSOR (THEY CLAIMED IT WAS PROBABLY WINDEX). DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THE CAMERA ENCLOSURE IS NOT SEALED AND PARTICULATE MAY ENTER THE ENCLOSURE. SAID THE PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHAT HAPPENS IS SOMEONE IS A SMOKER OR LIVES ON A DIRT ROAD? DOES TOYOTA EXPECT PARTICULATE IN THE ENCLOSURE TO BE ACCEPTABLE? THIS MAY IMPACT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SAFETY SYSTEMS, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS SUN GLARE. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2019.

A GLARE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN PREVENTS YOU FROM SEEING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DURING THE DAY. HAZARDOUS AS YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR SPEED OR THE INFORMATION SCREENS ABOUT THE VEHICLE. CAR IS AFFECTED ANYTIME DURING THE DAY.
