Today at approximately 4pm Nov 19, 2019, I parked my car in a parking lot and turned off the motor, put it in park and when I pulled the emergency brake into place the car lunged backward a little but stopped as soon as the emergency brake was engaged. I filed a report back on October 20, 2019, please refer to case #11271148. I am bringing the car to the Toyota dealership on Saturday, Nov 23, 2019, so it can be checked out as to why the car is jerking when in park. I want to register this complaint as well. I just picked the car up from the autobody shop from the repairs it had done because of the incident on Oct 20, 2019. I do not feel safe driving this car.

On Sunday, October 20, 2019, approximately 3:10 pm I got into my 2018 Toyota Corolla, the car was stationary in park, and was not running on a flat surface. I realized I forgot my wallet so I got out of the car and left the driver's door open. I retrieved my wallet within 1 minute and when I came out my car was rolling slowly on the flat driveway where I park every day. I tried to grab the door handle to see if I could jump in the car to stop it but it picked up speed and went down a slight incline across the yard. The door hit a tree and then the car landed in bushes. My neighbors came running over because they saw the entire incident. I was able to get into the car on the passenger side and I started the car's engine since it was never turned on and drove it out of the bushes back onto the flat driveway. The car rolled while the gear was in park and was not running. Everyone is not sure why that would happen. I'm asking to see if there is a problem with the transmission or the gear slipping out of gear. I called my insurance they filed a claim but stated it was very strange for the car to have rolled and told me to find out if there was a recall, also the adjuster said it was very strange as well for the car to roll in park and not running. They suggested it may be something with the computer system.
The 2018 Toyota Corolla cruise control is dangerous. When cruise control is on, going down a slight hill, the transmission downshifts but throttle does not reduce causing car to increase speed 10-15 mph with high rpms. At bottom of incline transmission goes to higher gear and brakes are applied very hard causing vehicle to suddenly and violently slowdown 15-20 mph. In this situation if cruise control is not disengaged the car will go well over the speed limit and to an unsafe speed for the roadway. The braking action is so sudden and violent it's difficult to control the vehicle and has several times in a couple of months caused me to very nearly get rear ended by a vehicle behind me which was not originally following too close. As the dangerous cruise control starts its increase in speed the vehicles behind may increase their speed and as they are increasing speed my car cruise control system jams on the brakes and cause the following car to come dangerously close to collision. As well the other driver has on at least one occasions became angry started road raging thinking I had purposely brake checked. The 2018 Toyota Corolla cruise control is dangerous, could certainly be deadly based on my experience and further is virtually unusable as a purchased feature on anything but a flat road. I've driven over 20 cars in my life and am very experienced with cruise controls in 6 different manufacturers cars. The cruise control on my 2018 Toyota Corolla could cause injury, lawsuit, road rage with personal injury or death. I've already had it to the dealer twice and am taking it back this week.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200. * consumer stated immediately after purchase continuous abnormal noise. There's also noise at times when I turn on the air conditioner which I can't identify. Maybe, as if there is too much stress on the engine. The car also sometimes vibrates while driving. In addition, when I bought the car, the front tire on the driver's side was also almost flat, therefore, causing the car to keep pulling to one side while driving. Further, the front window on the driver's side was/is squeaking. 8/12/18 sensor light kept flashing. 8/16/18 brake pad noise was observed. Car could not be repaired because car was not maually designed. Updated 10/30/18
