2016 Toyota Corolla Other Problems

Your 2016 Corolla has had recurring issues with older parts installed on a new vehicle, including tires over a year old that dry-rotted prematurely and air intake components meant for previous model years. Your car's check engine light has come on repeatedly since 2016, with dealers only clearing the code without investigating; it now appears to be a faulty charcoal canister that was subject to a 2015 recall, yet was never properly diagnosed during warranty service visits. You're now facing an $800+ repair bill after warranty expiration for a problem that should have been caught during your previous dealership visits. The repair will likely involve replacing the charcoal canister and possibly inspecting other emissions system components.

THE AIR CONDITIONER WILL NOT BLOW AT ALL EVEN THOUGH THE AC LIGHT IS ON. IT HAS AN ATC DIAL AND HAS BEEN SPORADICALLY DOING THIS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF AND NOT WORK. IT HAS COME BACK ON EVENTUALLY IN THE PAST HOWEVER NOW IT HAS BEEN A WEEK AND STILL NOTHING THIS CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD SO I SHOULD BE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS

WHEN GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS, DITCHES, OR ANY ABRASIONS MY BRAKES SKID AND KEEPS GOING AND I HAVE TO SWERVE OR GO AROUND TO FIND SOLID ROAD TO STOP MY CAR. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME NOT OCCASIONALLY. I'VE HAD MY BRAKES INSPECTED BY PEP BOY, AND MY PERSONAL MECHANICS THAT I TRUST AND THEY SAY THE BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE PERFECT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S THE CAUSE. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE, I FIGURED I SHOULD JUST DRIVE SLOW BUT IT DOESN'T HELP AND I RECENTLY ALMOST REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO THE ISSUE.

THE CAR START UP TO BEHAVE DIFFERENT BEFORE 5.000 MILES.WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR WAS GETTING FIRST VERY HIGH RPM,BEFORE STARTING TO PICK UP SPEED,EXPERIENCING SOME IMPORTANT DELAYS IN RESPONSE.I WAS TRYING TO ADDRESS THIS WITH TOYOTA OF YORK AND THE SPECIALISTS EXPLAINED TO ME ABOUT PRINCIPLES OF CVT TRANSMISSION AND I WAS PUSHED BACK.AT 10.000 AND 15.000 MILES THE CAR BECAME QUITE LAZY AND I JUST HAD TO GO BACK TO THE SERVICES AS THE RPM'S WERE NOT NORMAL. FINALLY THE COMPUTER WAS RESET AND I START UP TO RECOGNIZE THE CAR. IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS THE CAR START UP TO HAVE AGAIN SOME IMPORTANT DELAYS IN RESPONSE. BACK TO THE SERVICE - THE ISSUE WAS NOT RECOGNIZED THE MECHANICS TRYING TO CONVINCE ME AGAIN ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF CVT TRANSMISSION...I WAS NEVER INFORMED OR ASKED IF I WILL BE INTERESTED TO BUY A CAR WITH CVT TRANSMISSION BUT NOW I START UP TO READ AND GET FAMILIAR WITH IT TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE AND FEEL BETTER ABOUT WHAT I GOT.BEFORE 25.000 I WAS CLOSE TO BE INVOLVED IN 2 INCIDENTS WHEN MY CAR HAD MAJOR DELAY IN RESPONSE-TRYING TO AVOID AND GET OUT OF A SITUATION, MY CAR FIRST GOT TO VERY HIGH RPM AND ONLY AFTER THAT, DECIDED TO ACCELERATE, WHICH I FIND VERY UNSAFE AND I GOT PANICKED.IN BOTH SITUATIONS I REALIZE THAT THIS CAR IS NOT ABLE TO GET ME OUT OF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. AROUND 25.000MILES I DISCUSSED AGAIN WITH THE MECHANICS, THIS TIME EXPLAINING SAFETY CONCERNS.THE MECHANICS WERE SYMPATHETIC WITH WHAT I EXPERIENCE BUT AGAIN I WAS TOLD THAT I CAN NOT EXPECT MORE FROM A CVT TRANSMISSION IF I WANT TO GET GOOD GAS AND LONG LIFE FROM A CAR.MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THIS CAR ONLY 4 TIMES. SHE FELT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS CAR'S CAPACITY TO ENGAGE IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS ON THE HIGH WAY.IN OTHER WORDS,THIS CAR WILL FIRST SAVE THE CVT TRANSMISSION,WILL PROTECT THE ENGINE AND WILL SAVE GOOD GAS BUT ON PRIORITY LIST MY FAMILY LIFE WILL COME AFTER.

AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR FEW MINUTES, A BURNING SMELL OF RUBBER/PLASTIC IS COMING. THE SMELL ONLY STARTS ONCE STARTED O DRIVE THE CAR, OR WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION REGARDLESS OF CITY OR HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE SMELL IS NOT DETECTED IF THE CAR IS STARTED AND JUST GETTING WARMED UP IN A STATIONARY POSITION. THE SMELL SEEMS TO BE STRONGER FROM PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR

THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE THERE HAS BEEN MANY TIMES THE BRAKES DELAY BEFORE STOPPING. THIS TIME THE CAR ACCIDENT. I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO BRAKE 4 THE CAR TO DTOP BUT THE BRAKE SCREECH AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTILL COLLISION. IN NOVEMBER THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY, TOYOTA SAID THE VEHICLE SPARK NEEDED CHANGING.

WE BOUGHT A NEW 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA AND HAVE A PROBLEM WITH RODENTS GETTING IN IT. WE READ UP ON IT AND IT IS CAUSED BY THE MATERIALS USED. THE PERSON I SPOKE AT TOYOTA SAID THEY USE PEANUT BASED LUBRICANT. THIS APPARENTLY IS KNOW BY TOYOTA YET THEY CONTINUE TO USE IT. WHAT CAN BE DONE? I AM TIRED OF BEING TOLD NOTHING CAN BE DONE.

FUMES OUT OF VENT 15,000 MILES 79 MPH ON INTERSTATE, FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN, MAKE MY EYES TEAR UP(MILD PLUS) WENT ON FOR AT LEAST 10 MILES, WAS LOOKING FOR EXIT TO GET OFF. I STOPPED ABOUT 20 MILES FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD, CHECKED EXHAUST PIPE, NO BLOCKAGE

THE NAVIGATION/ BACK UP SCREEN IS NOT VISIBLE WITH POLARIZED SUNGLASSES EXCEPT BY TILTING ONES HEAD AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE. MANUFACTURERS RESPONSE IS " HAVE SUBMITTED THE INFORMATION TO TOYOTA AND HAVE HEARD BACK THAT THIS CONDITION IS A KNOWN CONCERN WITH POLARIZED SUNGLASSES AS IT HAS BEEN SEEN BY OTHERS AS WELL. THE CONCLUSION IS THAT THE POLARIZATION IN THE GLASSES CAUSES THIS EFFECT AND IT IS NOT A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCTS NAVIGATION SCREEN"

SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED WITH A LOUD NOISE LIKE A GUNSHOT WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AT 75MPH. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THERE IS A FLAW IN THE GLASS AND THAT THIS DID NOT RESULT FROM TRAFFIC DEBRIS (NO OVERPASS NEAR)
