Subject: Vehicle safety complaint — dashboard/windshield reflection severely impairing visibility on 2014 Toyota Corolla (VIN: [XXX] ) To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to report a serious safety issue with my 2014 Toyota Corolla, VIN [XXX] . Under certain daylight conditions, the dashboard (or a component of it) reflects sharply on the windshield, producing a glare so intense that it significantly impairs my ability to see the road ahead. Vehicle details: Make: Toyota Model: Corolla Year: 2014 VIN: [XXX] Approx. current mileage: [insert mileage] Problem description: - At specific times of day — when sun angle, interior lighting, and windshield geometry combine — the dashboard reflection becomes very pronounced. - The reflected dashboard elements (vents, panels, interior contours) appear on the windshield glass and overlap the driver’s forward view. - This glare regularly blocks or obscures pedestrians, other vehicles, road signs, or hazards ahead. - The issue is not cosmetic; it directly reduces visibility and increases risk while driving. - The vehicle remains stock — no aftermarket modifications have been made to dashboard or windshield that could cause this reflection. Impact on safety: - I frequently struggle to see clearly under these lighting conditions, compromising my ability to react properly to traffic, obstacles, or sudden changes — especially when approaching intersections or dealing with glare. - This defect endangers not only me and my passengers, but also other road users: drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Request: I request that National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) review this issue for the 2014 Toyota Corolla (and possibly other model years) to assess whether dashboard materials, interior design, or windshield geometry create a widespread visibility defect. I am willing to provide additional documentation — such as photographs or videos showing the reflection INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I am reporting an ongoing safety issue involving the Skid Control ECU and loss of power break recall on my 2024 Toyota corolla hybrid. The first time, my vehicle experienced loss of power brake assist and displayed a “Hybrid System Malfunction” message on screen. I towed my car to Toyota, confirmed it was related to the Skid Control ECU recall and repaired it under the recall at no cost, they did a software update. The second time, the exact same problem reoccurred. I had the vehicle towed again to a Toyota dealership, but this time, they refused to perform diagnostics unless I paid out of pocket for a 12-volt battery replacement. The dealership stated they cannot confirm if the issue is recall-related until diagnostics are complete, but they also refuse to complete diagnostics without me paying first. My vehicle is currently undrivable and unsafe, and I rely on it for daily transportation and work. So they made my pay for this 12v battery to do the diagnostics and now they tell me it is not recall related but one of the relays not working, the repair will be cover under warrant but i had to pay for battery and rental cars . I believe Toyota is in violation of its obligations under 49 U.S.C. §30120, which requires manufacturers to correct recall-related safety defects free of charge. This issue leaves me without a vehicle and unable to verify that the recall has been properly resolved. I have opened a case with toyota brand engagement. I am requesting that NHTSA review this case and ensure that Toyota complies with recall repair requirements so my vehicle can be safely diagnosed and repaired without charge.

POWER TRAIN

During a routine transmission fluid service on a 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid, I discovered that the transmission model (PA10) is completely unlabeled and cannot be identified anywhere under the hood, in the owner’s manual, or on any visible tag. The only label is buried behind the firewall and not reasonably accessible to consumers or technicians. As a result, I initially attempted to service the wrong fluid port because Toyota provides no visible or clear identification of the transmission model or fill/drain points. Additionally, the factory-installed transmission drain and fill bolts were tightened with extreme torque well beyond normal service specifications, requiring application of high heat and excessive force to loosen. This resulted in personal injury and risk of property damage. The combination of (1) inaccessible transmission identification, (2) inadequate service guidance, and (3) extreme bolt torque creates a foreseeable safety hazard to vehicle owners or technicians attempting basic maintenance. Toyota’s official service documentation (Toyota Technical Information System, “TIS”) that clarifies the correct fill ports is paywalled and not included with the vehicle or manual, making it impossible for consumers to safely perform essential maintenance without paying daily access fees. This lack of accessible labeling and over-torqued components presents an avoidable risk of physical injury, vehicle damage, and mis-servicing. I believe Toyota should be required to provide visible transmission identification and safe torque specifications for consumer maintenance.

AIR BAGS,SEAT BELTS

Component/system failed: The SRS Airbag System malfunctioned. After a rear-end collision on October 3, 2025, in Gwinnett County, GA, the airbags did not deploy. The vehicle displayed an alert: “SRS Airbag System – Malfunction detected” at 16:02. Safety risk: My safety was put at risk because the airbags did not function during a significant impact. This failure could have resulted in severe injury if the collision had been more forceful or from another angle. Inspection/reproduction: On October 6, 2025, I brought the vehicle to Atlanta Toyota. Instead of documenting the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and providing a report, the dealer cleared the fault code and recalibrated the system without my authorization, effectively erasing critical evidence of the malfunction. The invoice confirms this. Inspections by others: The vehicle was inspected only by the Toyota dealer. It has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives, but I have legal counsel and am preserving the evidence for further independent inspection. Warning lamps/messages: Yes. The SRS Airbag System Malfunction message appeared immediately after the collision on October 3, 2025. I have photographic evidence of this alert.
