The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while reversing, the back-over prevention screen malfunctioned and displayed a black screen, creating a rear visibility hazard for the driver. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 124,000.
Noted that Toyota has a black screen recall for Tundra related to backup camera. Toyota should consider extending the recall to include Corolla models, as my 2014 Corolla S and 2019 Corolla SE have both experienced intermittent black screen failures many times while backing up. (At least twice a week for the past 5 years) I reported the issue to the 441 Toyota Dealer in the past and they told me that Toyota is aware of the issue but there is no related recall.
The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the navigation screen display would continuously load. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that she was unable to use the navigation screen and the rearview camera due to the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the navigation screen display needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 175,000.
MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ARE ON
FIRST, THE DOOR NO OPEN WITH THE CONTROL. SECOND, WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR ITS NO HAVE POWER, ITS IN SLOW VELOCITY. WHEN I PUT IN DRIVE, BEGINNING TO TREMBLE. HAVE THE LIGHT, THAT SAID "CHECK".
WHEN ACCELERATING THE ENGINE REVOLUTIONS RISE IN EXCESS AND THERE IS NO LOGICAL INCREASE IN THE SPEED. THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED AND I THINK IT'S WORSE.
MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED
THE ISSUE STARTED WITH THE BATTERY TERMINALS GROWING A LOT OF CORROSION. HAD TO BE CLEANED OFF AND SPRAYED WITH CLEANER AND LUBRICANT EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. THEN AS I TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE CAR WILL SPUTTER BEFORE STARTING. WHEN THE CAR IS ON, THE STEERING WHEEL IS STIFF AND IMMOVABLE FOR THE FIRST MINUTE OR SO. I CAN'T TURN THE WHEEL. IT LOOSENS UP AS YOU DRIVE. IT WILL RANDOMLY GET A BIT STIFF WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. TYPICAL SPEEDS OF 45MPH OR FASTER.
TOUCHSCREEN ISSUE DASHBOARD SCREEN CALIBRATION ISSUE. TOUCHSCREEN ISSUE
CAR WILL REV UP TO 4000 RPM AND GET STUCK WHILE IN MOTION. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS WITH A COLD ENGINE AND IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.
I HAVE DIFFICULTY WHEN LOCKING/UNLOCKING MY VEHICLE WITH MY REMOTE KEY FOB AND MAIN LOOK SYSTEM FROM ALL DOORS OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON IS PUSHED ON THE VEHICLE'S TWO FRONT DOORS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK WITH THE OTHER DOORS ON THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS THE ONLY DOOR THAT MALFUNCTIONS ALL OTHER DOORS OPERATE EFFICIENTLY. THIS LOCKING MALFUNCTION OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. THE DRIVER'S DOOR CAN BE LOCKED MANUALLY BY PUSHING THE LOCK INWARDS OR USING THE CAR KEY TO MANUALLY LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOOR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE'S LOCKING SYSTEM IS A PRIMARY CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE'S OWNER, AND THE OWNER'S PROPERTY INSIDE THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS OLD. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH OTHER TOYOTA COROLLA OWNERS (INCLUDING YEAR MODELS OF 2014 AND 2015) WHO COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUES.
JSD RECALL. CAR INVOLUNTARILY ACCELORATES. BOUNCING OF RMP, REVVING AND STICKING AT HIGH REV. TEAM TOYOTA DEEMED THE TRANSMISSION UNSERVICEABLE AND REFUSED TO DO THE JSD RECALL. WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING, INTERSECTION ACCELLORATION CAR REVS AND SLOWS DOWN. ADVISED THE CVT TRANS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 5500.00. CAR IS AT 55,000 MILES AND IS APPARENTLY OVER THE 5 YEAR FACTORY WARRANTEE BY 6 DAYS AT TIME IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE. ISSUE ONLY STARTED HAPPENING IN OCTOBER 2018, 1 MONTH BEFORE THE FACTORY WARRANTEE RAN OUT. I WAS OUT OF TOWN FOR 10 DAYS AND BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE UPON MY RETURN AND WAS ADVISED THE CVT TRANS NEEDED REPLACING BEFORE THEY WOULD DO A RECALL. PICKED CAR UP AND IT WAS 500 TIMES WORSE THAN WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF 4 DAYS EARLIER. I HAVE OWNED MORE THAN 2 TOYOTAS AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. I AM MORE THAN UNHAPPY WITH THIS SITUATION AND FEE THE 5 YEAR/60,000 MILE FACTORY WARRANTEE SHOULD BE HONORED.

WHILE GOING DOWN A WINDING ROAD, THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED AT A VERY HIGH SPEED AND VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND THE BODY WAS DAMAGED COSTING OVER $4000. IT WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER; THEY ALLEGEDLY PLACED IT ON A SCANNER AND CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT NOT SHOW ANY 'CODES.' I HAVE BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE RECENT RECALLS AND ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL AND WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO PERFORM A MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION.
THE COMPLAINT IS WITH THE RADIO. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE STREET WHEN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN RESTARTED ITSELF. I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT ONLY BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE EXCEPT EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND WORKED PROPERLY. BUT NOW AFTER THAT HAS HAPPENED IT DOESN'T STOP DOING THAT. IT DIDNT EVEN FULLY RESTART ITSELF. IT JUST KEEPS RESTARTING TO WHERE I CAN'T USE THE RADIO, NAVIGATION OR ANYTHING NOT EVEN THE AUX CORD OR USB PORT TO PLAY ANY MUSIC OF SOME SORT. I HAVE TRIED PARKING AND LET IT DO ITS THING AND NOTHING IT STILL CONTINUES TO RESTART.
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A CROWDED CITY STREET. IT WAS RUSH HOUR AND THE TRAFFIC WAS SORT OF STOP AND GO. AFTER A STOP, I ACCELERATED MY CAR TO ABOUT 25 M/H FOLLOWING THE CAR BEFORE ME, THEN I NOTICED MY CAR WAS GOING FASTER THAN I INTENDED AND APPROACHING THE CAR AHEAD. I APPLIED THE BRAKES IN A NORMAL MANNER, HOWEVER, THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. FEELING SOMETHING WAS WRONG, I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, BUT IT WAS NOT EARLY ENOUGH TO STOP BEFORE REAR-ENDING THE CAR. EVEN AFTER THE CRASH AND STOP, MY CAR'S ENGINE WAS CONTINUING REVVING UP UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE BY TURNING THE KEY. I HAD A DASH CAM ON MY COROLLA AND THE ACCIDENT WAS RECORDED WITH CLEAR MOVIE AND SOUND.
ON 6/19/2016 DRIVING HOME FROM RUNNING ERRANDS, I STOPPED AT AT RED LIGHT BUT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE CAR DIDN'T BUDGE EVEN THOUGH I WAS TAPPING AND PRESSING THE PEDAL. AFTER ABOUT 7-8 SECONDS, THE CAR FINALLY RESPONDED AND STARTED SLOWLY ROLLING TO NORMAL SPEED. ON THE SAME TRIP AND THE LAST INTERSECTION, THE CAR DID THIS AGAIN BUT AT A STOP SIGN. THE GAS PEDAL WAS DEAD WHEN COMING OUT OF A COMPLETE STOP. IT TOOK ANOTHER 7-8 SECONDS FOR THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION TO RECOGNIZE IT WAS TIME TO ROLL. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO CROSS TRAFFIC BECAUSE I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN HIT DUE TO CRUISING AT 5 MILES PER HOUR. I'M TAKING THE CAR TOMORROW TO THE DEALER. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 24,000 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HESITATION HAPPENED WAS IN 2015 AROUND THE 12,000 MILE MARK. THE CAR WAS AT STOP AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN I HIT THE GAS PEDAL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AND WHY I TOOK IT. THIS TIME THEY SENT A SERVICE MANAGER WITH ME FOR A TEST DRIVE AND HE SAID IT FELT FINE. I WAS SENT HOME WITH THEIR ASSURANCE THAT THE CAR WAS FINE AND THAT IT WAS A FLUKE THAT THE ENGINE WAS ACTING UP BUT EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I'VE READ FORUMS WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH OTHER COROLLAS AND CAMRYS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HOPE TOYOTA TAKES RESPONSIBILITIES WITH MY CAR AND OTHER CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. NHTSA, PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE THIS TRANSMISSION/ACCELERATION ISSUE BECOMES A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE VIDEO ON MY CELL PHONE OF THE CAR ACTING ERRATIC.
WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH HEADLIGHTS ON, WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF UPTO THE SPEED OF 85 MPH EVEN THOUGH I SET CRUISE AT 65 MPH. I TRIED THIS MULTIPLE TIMES AND ALL THE TIME IT WENT UP TO 85 MPH AND STAYED THERE EVEN THOUGH I SET IT FOR LOWER SPEED. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING WHILE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. I HAVE DROVE WITH CRUISE ON, IN THE DAYTIME AND IT WORKS FINE. SINCE THEN, I HAVE NEVER DROVE THIS WITH CRUISE ON AT NIGHT.
THE CAR SOMETIMES HAS A HESITATION PROBLEM FROM A DEAD STOP; ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. THIS CREATES A SCARY SITUATION DUE TO I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN SO I HAVE TO WAIT QUITE AWHILE FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO SPREAD OUT MUCH FURTHER THEN NORMAL (ABOUT 50 CAR LENGTHS) SOMETIMES THIS IS NOT PRACTICAL SO I HAVE TO CHANCE IT & HOPE NOT TO GET BROADSIDED. THE DEALERSHIP IS OF NO HELP & I DOUBT IF THEY HAVE WRITTEN IT DOWN THE 2 TIMES I REPORTED IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED OVER 50 TIMES OVER THE LAST 21 MONTHS & STARTED IN MONTH # 1. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT TOYOTA HAD A NEW STYLE TRANSMISSION & THAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM BUT THAT IS DOUBTFUL BECAUSE THE ENGINE RPM'S DON'T COME UP. THE SYMPTOMS APPEAR TO BE A FUEL STARVING PROBLEM.
