“On 6/7 while driving 65 mph I hit a deer on the driver front. My car detected the crash and deployed every airbag inside the car. I received an injury to my legs from the driver's airbag under my steering wheel. If this airbag were not there, I would have had no injuries from this accident. I have missed work and was seen at the local ED for treatment.”Owner report · Air Bags,Forward Collision Avoidance · Jun 2026

“Soft brakes 3 weeks ago September 2925 one time. 10/17/2025 soft brake problem again. Had brakes bled at Toyota dealership Yuma, AZ on 10/13/2025. Car has Highway miles. Toyota needs to recall 2024 Toyota Corolla for hydraulic brakes problem.”Owner report · Service Brakes · Sep 2025
“My vehicle will jerk into the left lane of the road when lane keeping assistance is activated. It appears isolated only to situations when I am travelling on roads that were recently repaved and lines haven't been painted yet. However, these roads are equipped with consistent reflective indicators marking the center of the road because these roads remain unpainted for months. There are many of these roads where I live so it is a frequent issue that I experience multiple times everyday. I have never allowed the vehicle to fully execute it's correction in fear it would drive off of the road or into oncoming traffic but it is a very scary event when my car tried to kill me.”Owner report · Lane Departure · Sep 2025
“There was a recall on my vehicle for the skid and emergency braking and was told it was taken care of Feb 2025 at my service appointment. I was involved in a car accident on Aug 11, 2025, everything that was supposed to be fixed in the recall did not operate during my crash. I reconfirmed with the dealership that they did the recall repair and they again said yes but if they did then the repair completely failed. There was no emergency braking available, the car skid a long distance, no airbags deployed even though all sensors in the front were engaged and collision center confirmed they should have gone off. Vehicle is currently at collision center and is available to be inspected.”Owner report · Air Bags,Service Brakes,Forward Collision Avoidance · Aug 2025
“When the sun is overhead (this happens daily in South Florida) the reflection of the ambient light on the instrument panel cover makes it impossible to look at the information on the instrument panel. This essentially makes one drive while being blind. Not a safe concept. It is pathetic that no action has been taken against the company.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other,Forward Collision Avoidance · Aug 2025
“I purchased a used 2024 Toyota Corolla from Chapman Chrysler Jeep on 8/9/25 at 31,890 miles.
