2016 Toyota Corolla Electrical Problems

Your driver's side seat belt doesn't work reliably—it only latches occasionally, and even when it does, your dashboard still shows the belt as unfastened and the warning chime continues until it stops on its own, though the warning light stays on. After a rear-end collision, your airbags did not deploy. Additionally, your radio won't turn off when you shut off the car (forcing you to remove the fuse to prevent battery drain), and your key fob won't lock or unlock the doors—you have to use the physical key on the driver's door instead. These issues likely involve inspection and repair of the seat belt pretensioner system, airbag control module, and the vehicle's electrical/power distribution system.

While your car was parked and turned off for about 65 hours, an explosion occurred on the passenger side involving the airbag and/or electrical systems. The explosion caused a fire that melted the dashboard, charred the ceiling, damaged the windshield from the inside, and left airbag material scattered inside. There were no warning signs before this happened, and the car was not in any accident.

Your car's radio and dashboard clock keep resetting on their own, and your tire pressure warning light turns on and flashes even though your tires may be fine. This appears to be a known issue affecting multiple model years of this vehicle. The problem likely stems from an electrical system malfunction that's causing power interruptions to these components.

12/09/2019, The ECU did not have adequate protection against certain electrical noise that occurred during the collision. Airbags did not deploy in the event of under ride collision, a freak accident involving wildlife crossing the street. Seat belt pretensioners did not engage. I called Allstate insurance that same day. Had I not worn my seat belt, I might have gone through the windshield. Safety was in danger, and not protected. Meineke informed me the oil housing component, fused onto the component that allows for an oil change because it was made with a plastic material, that is an incorrect material, Oxygen sensor lit up after that finding. Vehicle is not available for inspection upon request. Tyler Law Enforcement might have inspected the vehicle in general. My VIN for my vehicle does not describe the style of my vehicle, which is a 2016 Toyota Carolla Sport, Red.

The wiring inside of the front doors became corroded on two different cars. This resulted in the inability to operate the electric windows of one car. I view this as a safety hazard as the ability to exit the car from the window in an emergency is impaired. Other tasks such as paying tolls is made risky as the door must be opened.

THE DOOR LOCKS ARE MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE DOOR NOT TO OPEN. WHEN SIMPLY PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE FOB OR EVEN PLACING THE CAR INTO PARK THE DOOR ATTEMPT TO UNLOCK BUT FAIL. SOME DOOR LOCKS OPERATE FINE AND SOME GET STUCK. PASSENGER FRONT LOCK AND REAR DRIVER LOCKS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE ON MY TOYOTA. THIS OCCURS WHEN STATIONARY.

RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE ON ANOTHER TOYOTA COROLLA LE VEHICLE. I HAVE MADE A COMPLAINT IN 2018 WHEN I HAD A PRIOR 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE AND THE JIM WHITE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN TOLEDO, OHIO HAD MY VEHICLE FOR OVER 1 YEAR- SITTING IN THEIR PARKING LOT WITH NO WORD ON A PART REMEDY- AFTER COMPLAINING TO YOUR ORGANIZATION AND TOYOTA CORPORATE- THE DEALER OFFERED ME THE 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA LE - I HAD TO PUT DOWN $3,000 AND HAVE A HIGHER CAR NOTE- I ALSO EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT EXPERIENCING ANOTHER RECALL WHICH I WAS ASSURED I WOULDN'T- BUT NOW I AM. TOYOTA HAS FAILED ONCE AGAIN. I WAS PART OF THE TOYOTA TAKATA CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR OVER 2YEARS AND RECEIVED A MEASLY $62.00 CHECK FOR ALL THE AGONY I WENT THROUGH. I AM SCHEDULED TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN THIS THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 2020 AT 9:30 AM AND WAS PROMISED I WOULD NOT EXPERIENCE WHAT I HAD BEFORE- BUT WELL SEE AND I WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET, MY CAR STARTED TO STALL, AND DIE, THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. IT JUST HAPPENED TODAY, I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET, AND THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED, AND CAR STOPPED RUNNING, I HAD TO PULL OVER AND MAKE SURE IT WAS IN DRIVE, AND START IT UP AGAIN. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR, BECAUSE THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. ANOTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET ABOUT TO GET ON THE FREEWAY, AND THE CAR STALLED, DIED. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS IN DRIVE, ADJUSTED IT AND THEN KEPT GOING. I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY, AND WILL TAKE MY CAR THERE IN MESA, AZ ON SATURDAY TO BE CHECKED. IT SEEMED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT WITH TOYOTA TACOMAS. I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY! I'M DRIVING, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR JUST STOPS RUNNING AND DIES. THE CAR SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING, AND THERE ARE NO LIGHTS OR MESSAGES INSIDE MY CAR, TO LET ME KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. MY CAR IS ONLY A 2016, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 60,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN TO ME.

AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAR, WE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT SPEAKERS WERE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. IT WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANIC INDICATED THAT THEY WERE NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY AT THE FACTORY. THE ELECTRICAL SPEAKER CONTACTS WERE POINTED UPWARDS WHICH EFFECTIVELY DAMAGED THEM OVER TIME FROM THE MOISTURE ACCUMULATING WITHIN THE FRONT DOORS. BOTH SPEAKERS, PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDES, INDICATING THE WIRING ERROR. BOTH WERE REPLACED BY THE SHOP AND AT THEIR SUGGESTION, I AM ALERTING YOU TO THE PROBLEM.

ESTABA ENTRANDO EN LA TERMINAL DEL AEROPUERTO DE FORT LAUDERDALE Y EL CARRO DEL OTRO CONDUCTOR MARCA JEEP DEL 2013 CON LA PLACA IITN27 ME IMPACTO POR EL FRENTE LA LADO DERECHO DANDOME EL FENDER DERECHO, EL FOCO Y ARRANCO EL BOMPER COMPLETO. NOTA. ESTE CHOFER ESCEDIA EL LIMITE DE VELOCIDAD.

TRAC OFF, CHECK ENGINE, AND MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHTS SUDDENLY APPEARED WHILE THE COROLLA WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A STATE ROAD. THE CAR HAD JUST PASSED ITS 20,000 WARRANTY CHECK WITH NO PROBLEMS. I WAS ON THE WAY TO A REGULARLY SCHEDULED ONCOLOGY APPOINTMENT. I HAD TO CANCEL THE APPOINTMENT AND DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. TECHNICIANS DETERMINED A RODENT HAD CHEWED THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL HARNESS. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED BY ANY TOYOTA WARRANTY. SO FAR, I'VE BEEN FORCED TO SPEND NEARLY $1,000 ON RODENT-RELATED REPAIRS. I HAVE STAGE IV CANCER. I BOUGHT THIS CAR EXPRESSLY TO HAVE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION TO CANCER TREATMENTS, MOST OF WHICH ARE OUT OF STATE. I CAN'T AFFORD THESE RAT-RELATED REPAIRS. LETTERS AND PHONE CALLS TO TOYOTA HAVE PROVED FUTILE AND FRUSTRATING. THE RATS ARE CONSIDERED BY THE CORPORATION AS AN OUTSIDE SOURCE, AND THEREFORE, NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. THE "OUTSIDE SOURCE" IS THE SOY THAT WAS STUPIDLY USED TO MAKE THE INSULATION PROTECTING THE ENGINE'S ELECTRICAL WIRING, CRISSCROSSING THE ENGINE. I HAD A 1991 TOYOTA THAT I PARKED IN THE SAME UNPROTECTED, DRIVEWAY SPOT FOR NEARLY 25 YEARS WHERE THE NEWER COROLLA IS NOW PARKED. THERE WERE NO RODENT ISSUES WHATSOEVER. SAME FOR A 1991 JEEP WRANGLER. DITTO A 1997 BUICK LASABRE. THE ONLY CAR BEING EATEN BY MICE AND RATS IS THE NEWEST CAR--THE 2016 COROLLA WITH SOY-BASED WIRING. SOY IS A FOOD SOURCE. I KNOW. I GREW UP ON A FARM AND WE FED IT TO OUR COWS AS A PROTEIN SOURCE. I NEED A RELIABLE, ECONOMICAL CAR TO GET TO LIFESAVING CANCER TREATMENTS. THIS CAR ISN'T IT. TOYOTA COULD CARE LESS. FOR THAT, THE COMPANY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THEY ARE RISKING THE LIVES OF EVERYONE WHO OWNS ONE OF THESE RAT TRAP CARS. SO FAR, TOYOTA HAS ABSOLVED THEMSELVES OF ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS INHERENT AND DANGEROUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I CAN'T FIGHT STAGE IV BREAST CANCER AND TOYOTA. THANK YOU.
