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.

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.

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 un

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 techni

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

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.

The glass on the instrument panel has an extreme glare in the sun. I have tinted all my windows including the windshield, but the issue persists. The hood on the instrument panel needs to be longer or the glass needs to be non glare. There is nothing on the market that will fix this issue.

I was driving west bound on I40 with the adaptive cruise control, and lane assist on at 75 MPH. It was around 8:30 PM when I seen the instrument panel flash, just drop for less than half a second, and then come back up but dimmer, like when the headlights come on, except they already were on. At that point all engine noises stopped and the car felt like it was actively braking. I literally lurched forward in my seat. I noticed that the RPM's had dropped to zero and I didn't see anything on the dash that indicated any warning. All green icons and nothing red. Stepped on the gas pedal, nothing. Tried hitting the cancel on the adaptive controls, nothing. I started turning the car from the inside lane to get to the outside shoulder while shifting the car into neutral to get more drift and tri

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.

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!

I was broadsided at the front end of the drivers side on Saturday 07/25/2026 by a wayward vehicle drifting into my lane. After the crash, the airbags deployed and then I could not open the driver seat door. Three other passer-bys who kindly stopped to check on me could not open the door from outside either. Finally, after being stuck for at least 10 minutes in the car, the police arrived, who somehow managed to open the door and let me out. This is a serious safety hazard; if the car caught fire, I could be burnt alive.

It was heavy rain traffic came and when I slowed down the anti lock breaks effected me from stopping fast enough and were made me just slid into back off vehicle in front off me giving me injury's to my kneck due to the air bags did NOT deploy.

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.

Transmission slip, hard shifting, early or late shift. Automatic transmission
