2011 Toyota Corolla Other Problems

Your sunroof glass suddenly exploded outward while you were driving 55 mph on the highway in moderate weather with no warning signs. Glass fell into the cabin onto you and your passenger, creating a dangerous distraction while you were merging—you could have swerved into another vehicle. The repair will likely involve replacing the entire sunroof glass panel and checking the sunroof frame and mechanism for defects.

Your Lyft driver account was suspended because your 2011 Toyota Corolla is subject to an NHTSA recall. You'll need to have the recall inspection performed at a Toyota dealership to resolve the suspension and get your account reactivated.

Your car failed the Texas vehicle safety and emissions inspection. This could be due to emissions system issues, engine problems, or safety-related components not meeting state standards. You'll need to diagnose and repair the specific failure points to pass inspection.

Your sunroof spontaneously shattered while you were driving with no warning signs beforehand. This is a safety concern because if the inner compartment had been open, debris could have entered the cabin. You'll need to have a glass company replace the entire sunroof assembly.

CAR ACCELERATES HARD FROM STATIONARY IDLE. HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. YESTERDAY ACCELERATED FROM IDLE AT A 4 WAY STOP INTERSECTION ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. VERY SCARY. NOT COMFORTABLE USING IT UNTIL PROBLEM REMEDIED.

BOTH OF THE SUN VISORS HAVE GOTTEN SO LOOSE THAT THEY NO LONGER FUNCTION. I CAN'T LIFT THEM UP TO SEE AT NIGHT, AND WHEN I GO UP A HILL, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHAT'S AHEAD. THEY PARTIALLY BLOCK THE VIEW OF THE ROAD AHEAD AT ALL TIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IT IS TO PURCHASE NEW VISORS AND HAVE A DEALERSHIP INSTALL THEM. I SEE THAT MANY OF THESE CARS HAVE A RECALL BECAUSE OF SUN VISOR PROBLEMS, HOWEVER, MINE IS NOT ON THE LIST. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS A PROBLEM, BUT THEY CAN'T FIX THEM. ALL SUN VISORS IN THESE CARS SHOULD BE REPLACED WITHOUT CUSTOMERS HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.

I DRIVE QUITE A BIT AND NORMALLY KNOW MY VEHICLES PRETTY GOOD. I HAVE RECENTLY OBTAINED THIS 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA S AND IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION OVERALL. I MADE A TRIP 2 DAYS AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A HESITATION BETWEEN 55-65 MPH. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 11AM IN THE MORNING AT 78F. DRIVING ON A FLAT WELL MAINTAINED BLACK TOP ROAD THE VEHICLE DOES IN FACT HAVE A CONSTANT HESITATION THAT DROPS APPROXIMATELY 1000-2000 RPMS WITH A NOTICEABLE FEEL IN THE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY (3-4 SEC) AFTER THE HESITATION THE VEHICLE RECOVERS BACK TO THE ORIGINAL RPM. AS LONG AS STAYING IN THIS SPEED RANGE (55-65 MPH) THE VEHICLE HAS THE HESITATION REPEATEDLY. THE SECOND ISSUE THAT I HAVE NOTICED ON THE SAME VEHICLE IS THE ACTUAL DECELERATION WHEN REMOVING MY FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR. WHEN TRAVELING ON THE SAME ROAD AND TIME AS STATED ABOVE THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO REALLY COAST RIGHT ALONG OR SO IT SEEMS. WHEN SAYING THIS, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE ROLLS RIGHT ALONG AS IF I AM STILL PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR AT WHICH TIME I MUST APPLY THE BRAKE MORE SIGNIFICANTLY THAN LETTING IT JUST COAST. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS IS EFFECTING MY GAS MILEAGE, IS IT GOING TO CAUSE UNDUE STRAIN ON THE DRIVETRAIN, IS THIS GOING TO BE A PROBLEMATIC ISSUE THAT TOYOTA IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO IGNORE?

3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, MICE STARTING COMING INTO THE AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM. I HAVE TRIED TO KEEP THEM OUT HOWEVER THE DESIGN FLAW IN THE CABIN AIR INTAKE WILL NOT PREVENT THEM FROM COMING IN. THERE IS A HUGE OPENING WHERE THEY CONSTANTLY COME IN. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS BETWEEN DISEASES AND THREAT OF WIRES BEING CHEWED. WE ALSO HAD A TOYOTA TUNDRA THAT HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND TRADED IT IN AND HAS A FORD NOW AND DOES NOT HAVE A PROBLEM AT ALL WITH MICE.

SHAKING OF CAR AND SWEAKY BRAKES

Your car's paint is peeling rapidly, which you believe is due to a manufacturing defect. You were eligible for a Toyota customer support repair program, but missed the deadline before the peeling became severe. Toyota Customer Care directed you to file this NHTSA complaint. Addressing this issue would likely involve stripping and repainting the affected areas.

The paint on your car's roof is peeling off. This is a cosmetic issue that doesn't affect how your car drives, but it can expose the underlying metal to rust if left unaddressed. Fixing this would typically involve sanding down the affected area and repainting the roof.
