2017 Toyota Corolla Body & structure Problems

To whom it may concern, I would like to report that my vehicle's paint has been peeling off since June 2018. The vehicle was purchased on 8/11/17, and I have continuously reported the paint problem to no avail from the dealership or manufacturer. As a matter of fact, in February 2019, the vehicle was serviced to due bubbles developing around the windshield, and I again reported the paint issues and received no resolution to my problem. Hence, I would like to know whether my case is an isolated one or just like the white paint settlement, Toyota has deceived some of its customers that chose blue paint in this model (Corolla).

Currently have paid off my WHITE TOYOTA COROLLA 2017, and is been a while since i notice the paint was pealing off and take it to the body shop, they told me to check my car for a recall since toyota has extended warranty for this matter (which i found here that does not have a recall), and that it was too soon for the car paint to be this bad, the top is also star to roasted and i just paid it off and think is not fair for me to be paying for something so early, also i take good care of it, washed two or more times at month and also handwax once or twice every month, hope this can do something about me and many more out there having the same issue.

Vehicle is leaking a large amount of water/condensation on my passenger side front seat which is causing mold/mildew. I asked Toyota to take a look at it, they stated it’s not a manufactured or engineered problem, which it actually is. That is not part of a schedule maintenance issue. Wanted to charge me to take a look at it and I have an extended warranty

Hi, I purchased my car in Feb 2017. but before 9 months back, it starts to have bubbles on all perimeter of the windshield. and currently have too many bubbles on that perimeter. My current Car milage is 33,000 only So, I talked to Toyota care regarding this but they denied handling this as they said this is outside of the warranty period. but I feel that this is a manufacturing defect. and that must be resolved by Toyota as there is no user reason for this bubbling happens. this happens when any manufacturing defect. Also, when I searching for a reason for such bubbling, I found that the ford car also has some issues in 2014. and ford made a correction on this. (Ref: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2011/RCMN-11V445-9034.pdf) Let me know if any other information is required from my end.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON HAMILTON ROAD, IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, AT 535PM. I NOTICED THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WEREN'T ON, WHEN OTHER DRIVERS WERE TRYING TO WORN ME. I SET MY HEADLIGHTS ON AUTOMATIC WHEN I FIRST RECEIVED THE CAR. I FINALLY FOUND THE SWITCH TO TURN MY HEADLIGHTS ON MANUALLY. THEN MY CAR STARTED TO BRAKE 10-15 FEET FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, MY TIRES WERE SQUEALING. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WAS STILL ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT WAS TOO LATE I HIT THE SUV IN FRONT ME. MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE SYSTEM DIDN'T ACTIVATE UNTIL TO LATE. IT IS CLEAR THAT THE CAR RESPONDED AFTER THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WAS MANUALLY TURNED ON INSTEAD OF BEING IN THE AUTO POSITION. IT WAS SUGGESTED AT A DEALERSHIP EARLIER THAT CYCLING THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM ON THE CAR COULD INADVERTENTLY DISARM IT. IF THAT WERE THE CASE AND IT WAS OFF ACCIDENTLY WHY DID THE CAR TRY TO BRAKE AT THE LAST SECOND ON ITS OWN BY TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR THE DRIVER FOR THE VERY REASONS OF ITS SAFETY FEATURES UNFORTUNATELY THIS CAR COMPLETELY FAILED TO PROTECT THE DRIVER. THAT IS WHY I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT IMMEDIATELY TO SEE IF THIS IS A MECHANICAL ISSUE, PROGRAM ISSUE, OR SIMPLY DRIVER ERROR, WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE AT THIS POINT. I HAVE PHOTOS OF VEHICLE AND INTERIOR WHICH I AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD ON THIS SITE, THEY ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON I95 FROM SOUTH TO NORTH (AFTER EXIT 6 IN PA) TOWARDS PHILLY AIRPORT ON 7/22/2017 AND THE CAR WAS HIT AT THE REAR BY ANOTHER CAR. CAR WAS SPAN AND STOPPED. THANK TO GOD THAT SHE IS OK. HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE. OUR CONCERN WAS NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. OUR COLLISION CENTER AS WELL AS TOYOTA DOESN'T KNOW WHY. NEED YOUR HELP AS WELL AS IT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO SOMEONE.
