2020 Toyota Corolla

07/09/19 - THREE DAYS AFTER TAKING DELIVERY OF A BRAND NEW 2020 COROLLA SEDAN, MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY CITY STREET. I WAS STATIONARY WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, IT HAD A COMPLETE POWER FAILURE. RED WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING ENGINE POWER LOW. I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY CARS GOING AROUND ME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. 08/06/19 - MY BROTHER WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN STOP AND GO CONDITIONS DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. WITH HIS FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE JERKED OR JUMPED SEVERAL TIMES IN SUCCESSION, STOPPED AND THEN DID THE SAME THING TWICE MORE. IT FELT AS IF IT WAS GOING TO LOSE POWER OR NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS. I TOOK IT BACK TO SAME DEALER FOR SERVICE. ONCE AGAIN, NO ERROR CODES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SERVICE FOREMAN TOLD ME THOSE 2 INCIDENTS WERE DEFINITELY RELATED. I REPORTED BOTH ISSUES VERY DANGEROUS INCIDENTS TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER SUPPORT AS I FEEL THAT I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. AT FIRST, THEY WERE RECEPTIVE AND EVEN SENT A TOYOTA FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE CAR. THEN MY CASE MANAGER TOLD ME THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND "COULD NOT VERIFY MY CONCERNS". SHE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO AND THERE WERE NO REPAIRS TO BE MADE. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THE 2019 COROLLA HATCHBACK WAS RECALLED IN DECEMBER 2018 TO REPLACE THE CVT TRANSMISSION DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ERROR THAT COULD CAUSE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. THE INFO I READ STATED THE EXACT SAME ENGINE IS IN THE 2020 COROLLA SEDAN, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN A RECALL. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY, AS WELL AS THAT OF MY PASSENGERS, AND OTHER VEHICLES.

AFTER ANOTHER DRIVER FAILED TO YIELD RIGHT-OF-WAY, I EXPERIENCE A FAULT WITH THE AUTOMATED DRIVING ASSIST SYSTEM WHICH DURING A MERGE OF TWO HIGHWAYS IN CALIFORNIA; AND FAILURE OF ROAD STRUCTURES ALLOWED AN OLDER PASSENGER TRUCK TO HIT THE TOYOTA'S DRIVER'S REAR TIRE AND WHEEL WELL AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WITHOUT EVASIVE, DEFENSIVE OR WARNING FROM THE 2020 COROLLA HYBRID'S

WE BOUGHT THE CAR ON 07-29-19 AND ON 08-04-19 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM MARYLAND THE CAR SENSOR LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AFTER ONLY 250 MILES ON THE CAR. THE FLASHING LIGHTS WERE FOR BRAKES AND PARKING BRAKE, LANE DEPARTURE AND ASSIST, BACK UP AND FRONT CAMERA, CHECK ENGINE, TIRE PRESSURE, HEAD LIGHTS, AND RSA MALFUNCTIONS. BASICALLY THE ENTIRE SAFETY SYSTEM OF THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING IT. 7-29-19, 8-2, 5, 9-19 AND THE CAR WAS IN MOTION EACH TIME WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. I HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON IT. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THE CAR NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE SECOND TIME THE SERVICE MANAGER IS CLAIMING IT IS A WIRE WHICH I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE SINCE THERE ARE MULTIPLE CODES AND I DON'T THINK THEY ALL GO THROUGH ONE WIRE. OUR FAMILY DOES NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR WHEN ALL OF THESE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING AND NOT KNOWING IF THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND IF THE SAFETY FEATURES IN THE CAR WILL OPERATE PROPERLY. I HAVE VIDEO AND PICTURES OF THE CODES THAT WERE FLASHING IF NEEDED. I COULD NOT UPLOAD THEM DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE FILES.
