My engine stalled while driving. My low tire pressure light came on and an hour or so later I was turning left at a light. My left turn signal was on. Suddenly my car stalled and the message that stated Put in park, steering power low showed on screen. Put car in park and restarted and it started right up. Dealer said no codes and could not replicate. Only 18,000 miles on car. Huge safety issue!!!!!

Electrical🔶 Medium
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

2022 Toyota Corolla Hybrid Touchscreen/Infotainment Display randomly shut down while driving without warning and no longer functions. This could not be reset by holding the power button or disconnecting the vehicle battery. The backup camera still works, and the radio can be heard when the power button is pressed, but the display remains on a black screen and none of the controls on the steering wheel or headunit work. At night, the lights on the buttons for the multimedia display turn on and off every 10 seconds which is extremely distracting and has the potential to cause an accident. This defective part serves as a safety issue, as this is where critical maintenance and hybrid battery power related errors displayed. In addition there are many critical controls locked behind the screen related to door locks, hybrid battery usage, and other vehicle controls, as well as personal data that may now be at risk and unable to be able to be deleted. Vehicle was inspected by a Lia Toyota of Rockland Dealership Service department and determined to be a faulty display, requiring a compete unit replacement. The quoted cost is $2500, and despite my car having only 35500 miles, this is not covered under any warranty due to being outside the 36 month time window. The multimedia display in this car is a critical component and is just as vital to the car as the engine/transmission. It is a shame that Toyota reliability is a thing of the past.

The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the clutch in the manual transmission vehicle briefly failed to engage, disabling the ability to shift gear. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 81,000.

Visibility🔵 Low
VISIBILITY/WIPER

Exterior headlight design is a big safety issue when driving at night. The low beams do not offer enough lighting when going around turns or hills. Even on flat roads it is not enough and very dangerous. The high beams help but are also not providing the visibility needed at night . When raining and using low beams at night it’s like driving in the dark! Please redesign!

On October 1st, 2025, I was in a car accident. I was side-swiped on the highway by a truck, which led me to collide with a metal fence. My airbags did not deploy after the collision. After filing a claim with my insurance company on October 1st, I was informed the same day that my vehicle is a total loss. Prior to the accident, there were no warning lamps or messages.

The radiator had a severe pin hole in several veins causing coolant to leak out and making the car overheat. The overheating seems to happen over a long distance drive jeopardizing my safety and family. To prevent futher damage to the car and my safety. Yes. I have to wait for hours on the side of the highway for hours-to let the car cool down and add recommended coolant for the car. The vehicle was inspected by TOYOTA of San Louis Obispo. 09/29/25. I am not certain if the vehicle was inspected by the manufacturer but the service repair was done @ Toyota dealersip. The temperature or the coolant gauge moved erratically.

Hi, I recently relocated from Vancouver, Canada to Seattle, Washington, and I am in the process of importing my Canadian-purchased 2022 Toyota Corolla into the United States. I have already contacted Toyota Canada, but they informed me that they do not issue compliance letters for vehicles distributed under Canadian regulations. I then contacted Toyota USA, who confirmed that this matter falls under NHTSA’s responsibility and advised me to request the compliance letter directly from you. Therefore, I respectfully request that NHTSA to solve this issue so that I may complete the import process in compliance with U.S. regulations. Please advise me on the next steps to obtain this letter, including any required forms or supporting documentation I should provide. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
