The transmission on the vehicle has a tital of 19,752miles as of 5/3/2021. The vehicle's transmission has failed due to a "bad cylenoid" in the transmission. I am a 90 year old woman who went to my physicians office after my appointment I git in the car and attempted to place the car in reverse when it failed to move. I am the original owner of this vehicle and was shocked that there was a problem especially dibce I had just taken it to the dealer for regular maintenance. During that maintenance there were no noted problem bought to my sttentio. Hence I fell that this is a severe manufactureres defecr. I'm concerned that there is a serious defect and related isdues due to the dedign or manufacturing of the cvt transmission which I understand is a big issue that has been encountered in Toyota's 2014 to 2019 line of vehicles. While it seems that no recall were formally issued, I believe that there is a huge problem based on the failure of the cvt tramsmission... given that the normal transmission mileage for this model is ~ 250K miles so I strongly feel this situation is suspect. I also understand that vehicles with the cvt transmission are subject to a special service campaign. As such, I would like to report my vehicle for your consideration under this status as I desire to secure a favorable remedy for this manufacturer's defect. I would like assistance is exploring my options to get my vejicle back on the road without my having to come out of pocket with tbousands of dollars to correct the manufacturer's known defect.
The car makes a screeching sound every time I brake at the red light.it's difficult to brake completely and when I do, the car jolts forward every time. The car struggles to move like it's stuck or something. It makes me anxious to drive it. I've stopped driving because I don't think it's unsafe. I don't know much about cars, but I definitely don't want to endanger others. I don't know exact problem: Unknown.

I notice that the transmission starts skidding doesn't respond quickly the way it should when I'm starting to move the car. It stays in blank. And I have to try to increase very slowly the car and pick up mileage for it to go away. In the highway if there are cars stopping I ha E to stop. If I see through my rear window that a car is coming fast from behind and I want to move to avoid to get hit form behind my car will move something but not as fast enough to avoid getting hit because it stays in blank. Like skidding. I believel this could be hazardous to me and my family because if I find myself in a situation that I have to move as quickly as possible to avoid someone on the road to hit me I won't be able to move as fast and can be hit by another car. I let the dealer service dept. Know they tell me that I have to wait for a recall. I'm very frustrated with this situation. The dealer told me about a code that Toyota has to work on it to fix the problem because it is computerized. I asked if the dealer notified the problem to Toyota. They said no. My question is when sil I have this problem solved? this is happening every day. I believe that this is potentially dangerous for the driver and the passengers in the car, (my family). Thank you for taking this situation into consideration. This has been happening ever since I bought the car in February. The dealer told me that soon a recall would come out and they would let me know. I'm still waiting.
Vehicle accelerates independently when the brake pedal is depressed. It has happened several times now. So far no accidents but I am concerned about this issue. Also the brake system is not functioning properly, hear creeking noise while depressing the brakes pedal (car in motion) and noise is getting worse.
It happened two times in the exact same place once on Oct. 24, 2017, and Jan 24, 2018. I hadn't driven the car from Oct. 24 til Dec 20. I pulled into the parking lot, put my foot on the brake coming to a stop, went to change to reverse gear and back into my spot and the car just took off, lunging forward hitting the house in front of me. It did a lot of damage to my car, and also the house. The airbag never went off, and the seat belt didn't prevent me from my chest hitting the steering wheel. I had a very sore bruised sternum for over one week. It happened within one month of driving. I am afraid to drive this car anymore. If I was out in traffic or if someone was in front of me, I could have killed myself, or them!! Toyota says there's nothing wrong with the car, but what else would you expect them to say.
Drain hose in air conditioning was clogged causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the car and soaked all the carpet. This is a relatively new car and this should not have happened. Other unknown damage may be done to the car as a result of water leakage (air bags, electrical wiring) which could pose a safety hazard.
I filed a similar complaint in January 2017 under complaint 10947803 and now realize the dipstick/dipstick tube defect on these cars can also be categorized under "other". ------- there is a problem with the engine oil dipstick and/or dipstick tube on the 2015 Toyota Corolla which uses 0W-20 oil. It is impossible to obtain an accurate reading on the engine oil level and I have never encountered this on any other vehicle. The oil tends to form a long "tail" up the dipstick making it impossible to discern where the actual level is. Attempting to obtain a reading with multiple attempts yields different possible oil levels and the levels are different on each side of the dipstick. I would note that this problem has been reported on numerous forums on the internet including forums dedicated to Toyota enthusiasts as well as general car forums and engine oil forums. The problem has been reported not only for the Corolla but also for other Toyota models. Some owners have resorted to modifying the dipstick which should not be necessary. This is a serious issue. Not being able to obtain an accurate reading of engine oil level puts the engine at risk of damage and even serious and sudden failure if the oil is over or under filled. Engine damage and personal injury or death can obviously occur if engine failure occurs while in operation on roads. Toyota should take immediate action on this issue, investigate it, and provide a fix available at dealerships and announce that fix to owners. It is unclear whether it is a problem with the actual dipstick design, the tube that the dipstick goes into, or other, but a fix is definitely in order. I urge NHTSA to investigate this issue.
Vehicle sold with a defective driver side window. Took our 2015 Toyota Corolla into a shop to get the windows tinted, the vendor that tinted the windows stated the vehicle windows should not be rolled down for 5 days to allow the window tint to dry. We followed the instructions from the vendor (tint my ride) - 1330 S parker rd, denver, co 80231 - (720) 808-8286. We begin rolling the windows down after 5 days as instructed a few weeks went by and I noticed a gap between the tint and the car door. I took the car back to the vendor tint my ride to have them correct the window tint issue and the representative who sold my the window tint (veronica) mentioned that it was not a window tint issue and that it was a car window issue with the window sliding and being off track. This is a very serious safety issue if car manufacturers are able to sell brand new vehicles with windows that are defective and off track. This vehicle was bought brand new and has never been in an accident and we have always taken the vehicle in to get it maintenance according to the dealerships recommendations. How can a dealership sell a brand new vehicle to a customer that has a defective driver side window? this needs to be investigated as a safety issue as I am concerned there may be other safety concerns with this vehicle.

Dangerous unintended acceleration. I was driving 5-10 mph in a parking lot when the car accelerated quickly for no reason. The floor mats were fine. My foot did not slip. The car just accelerated on its own to about 35 mph.

After a short trip on city streets, I came back out to my car and noticed the sunroof glass had spider-webbed. I had to drive home on the highway, and while driving at 60nph, the glass shattered, leaving a hole in the sunroof glass.
