Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
[XXX] In reading the above article, Toyota recalled Corolla Cross Hybrid vehicles with many complaints and situations mirroring our accident. Before the accident, the vehicle displayed no warning signs. Despite the driver pressing the brakes and the assisted braking feature seemingly turning on (e.g., signal lights on the computer system), neither seemed to work in this situation. The damage was far too severe for the assisted braking feature to have activated, along with the driver pressing the brakes. After viewing the matter with those involved in the accident, many of us concurred that we believe either the braking system or the computer system failed. In the aftermath of the accident, the police, manufacturer, or third party hadn't reviewed the vehicle's status. On top of that, our insurance refused to investigate, urging us to discuss the matter with Toyota. Thus, we'd propose that the Corolla SE may experience an issue similar to the vehicles in the article. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Potential Consequences:
My wife and I have been having great difficulty reading the center portion of the instrument panel because the illumination is too dim. We have visited the dealership and were instructed how to maximize the brightness, but it is still not sufficient. The small icons that appear at the top of the center section of the instrument panel cannot be viewed while we are driving, unless we place our head close to the screen. To do this our head must be at the level of the bottom of the front window. In that position we cannot see the highway sufficiently to be “safe.” We both have good vision. In the past, we have owned over thirty automobiles and have never had a problem seeing the instrument panel.I have discovered that occassionally the illumination of the center screen of my instrument panel is fine. The car’s computer apparently dim’s it without my consent. I drove 60 miles (about an hour) on a California freeway, and for the first 20 minutes I had good illumination. Then it suddenly got to its usual dim state. I have asked several people at my Toyora dealership, and they cannot help me. I, therefore, am requesting someone at your offices to look into this problem, and call me by phone to help me solve this important problem. The best way to viualize this problem would be to inspect my auto at my home.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
This is an issue I have noticed with my car shortly after I bought it. The problem is that the car has a noticable delay in acceleration when accelerating from a complete stop. After doing some research online, I found that the cause was the car's CVT transmission, and that a delay in acceleration happens with other cars with CVT transmissions as well. This could be potentially dangerous especially when making right turns on a red light or when making unprotected lefts on a green, as the window of opportunity to go is sometimes short in those situations, and delaying for even a second could mean the difference between a collision or a safe turn (especially since there are some fast drivers that go much past the speed limit and will appear from behind a hill all of a sudden). What is especially problematic is that the car will rarely accelerate normally when I press the pedal, but I would say around 80-90% of the time, the car will have a delay about 1 second before it actually starts moving. To my knowledge, this problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. I bought the car brand-new about half a year ago so it shouldn't have any problems. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone, and there were no warning lights or any other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. I didn't really notice that this car had this problem when I first drove it home from the dealership because I was not used to so many other aspects of the car, but after I got more used to driving it, I realized that the delay in acceleration wasn't normal.

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Potential Consequences:
Ever since my vehicle was new, the driver side blind spot monitor will periodically not work. This issue occurs primarily when starting the vehicle using the Toyota app, but also will have the issue when starting the vehicle normally. When all conditions are met, the driver side blind spot monitor will fail to illuminate during an entire trip unless the driver either: turns the vehicle off and back on, or: goes into the vehicle settings while driving and turns the blind spot monitor off and then on again. Upon doing either of these things, the driver side blind spot will resume normal operation. The issue has been confirmed by a Toyota dealership and is on file for my vehicle, and I also have video footage of the issue. While the dealership was able to witness the issue, the vehicle produces no codes and so the Toyota engineer advised it was a condition issue and not a vehicle issue. But this issue has been happening to me randomly since I got the car, and all of the facts point to this NOT being a condition issue. There are also SEVERAL other complaints on Toyota and Lexus forums for this exact same issue for varying models such as the Corolla Cross. This is a safety risk and can increase the possibility of a crash. While blind spot monitoring is intended to be an aid and should not be solely relied upon, inevitably there are drivers who will rely on that blind spot monitoring, not know it's broken, and potentially get into a collision due to the system leading them to believe the coast is clear, when it indeed is not. The first time I noticed it, which was within one week of owning the car back in January 2024, I was trying to get over to the left, saw that the blind spot was not illuminated, and almost made the turn except I checked manually first and saw there was a vehicle in my blind spot that the car did not pick up on. The fact that all it takes it turning the car off and on again leads me to believe this is a safety defect that needs addressed.

The first time I noticed it, which was within one week of owning the car back in January 2024, I was trying to get over to the left, saw that the blind spot was not illuminated, and almost made the turn except I checked manually first and saw there was a vehicle in my blind spot that the car did not pick up on. The fact that all it takes it turning the car off and on again leads me to believe this is a safety defect that needs addressed.
Additional Notes:
Ever since my vehicle was new, the driver side blind spot monitor will periodically not work. This issue occurs primarily when starting the vehicle using the Toyota app, but also will have the issue when starting the vehicle normally. When all conditions are met, the driver side blind spot monitor will fail to illuminate during an entire trip unless the driver either: turns the vehicle off and back on, or: goes into the vehicle settings while driving and turns the blind spot monitor off and then on again. Upon doing either of these things, the driver side blind spot will resume normal operation. The issue has been confirmed by a Toyota dealership and is on file for my vehicle, and I also have video footage of the issue. While the dealership was able to witness the issue, the vehicle produces no codes and so the Toyota engineer advised it was a condition issue and not a vehicle issue. But this issue has been happening to me randomly since I got the car, and all of the facts point to this NOT being a condition issue. There are also SEVERAL other complaints on Toyota and Lexus forums for this exact same issue for varying models such as the Corolla Cross. This is a safety risk and can increase the possibility of a crash.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The system that is problematic for this vehicle is the Pre Collision System (PCS). This system is way too sensitive even on the lowest sensitivity setting, and I have experienced the car braking in error on multiple occasions when driving up or down a windy road. When I approach a bend in the road and there is a car parked on the side of the street, my Corolla will think that I am about to collide with the parked vehicle and make a loud beeping noise and automatically hit the brakes. This has frightened me on a number of occasions, and I am concerned that one day the car will brake in error while there is another vehicle behind me, resulting in a read-end collision. The only consistent method of avoiding this is to drive past the median in the road when approaching bends, which I very much dislike doing, as driving in the middle of the road has its own obvious risks. I have tried contacting the dealership about this, and was told to contact the service department. The service department was no help, saying that they aren't able to do anything about it and that I could try lowering the sensitivity of the PCS, which I had already done. This wouldn't be such a huge issue if there was a way to permanently turn it off. The process for turning it off takes about a minute, as it requires navigating a menu and finding the PCS option to turn off. Unfortunately, the PCS automatically reactivates every time the car is turned off and on again, and even if I use the shortcut method of holding the lane assist button for several seconds to disable the PCS, the car's screen will constantly flash, telling me that the PCS is turned off and annoying the driver to turn it back on. I know that Toyota does not have this issue with their PCS systems on their other vehicles, as I have driven a 2019 Camry before and the PCS system never went off when I drove on the same road, which led me to believe that the system on this 2024 Corolla is somehow defective.
