"Fender linings loose"

"Rubber molding/trim around windows has deteriorated, and is coming loose"

"Bolt on front bumper fell off"

"Front bumpers damage easily and cannot be fixed without replacing underpinnings"

"The exterior bumpers are extremely fragile particularly in very cold temperatures and have cracked and pulled loose with minor contact with ice"

"Front Fenders are held on with small plastic tabs. They break and the body portion of fender actually flaps and opens gaps. Amazingly cheap poor design. Electrical ties can be used to repair or replace expensive full fender and surround."

"Plastic linking of wheel wells coming loose."

"The bumbers became unlatched from the body after a minor contact with an obsticle that did not bend the body but poped the tabs holding the fender. The fender could not be reattached without a body shop fixing the fasteners."

"Loose front bumper plastic."

"The plastic bumpers are a design flaw. the attachment hardware is so poor that a slight colision at parking lot speeds dislodged the plastic bumper from the metal part of the fender. This cost several hundred $ to fix."

"rubber mouldings stained the windows and flap in the wind. not what one expects in a totota"

"Front fender system comes unclipped and has to be pushed back into place regularly"

"Elastomeric trim failed and had to be replaced"

"Rubber seal around the windows dried up cracked due to exposure to the sun."

"The trim around the wheel wells on both front wheels has come loose 2 or 3 times. The clips used are faulty. They are loose as we speak."

"The front fender attachments to both front wheel wells are loose causing them to stick out about 1/2 inch. The fasteners are defective. They have had a temporary fix but they have both become loose again."

"Window seals deteriorated and failed - allowing water in."

"it looks terrible"

"Mud guards fell off the undercarriage. The front bumper's screws tore through the plastic to which they were attached"

"The front panel has come loose due to a loss of a plastic screw that held it to the frame"

"Door trim for glass window came off"

"Door gasket separated from frame and is hanging loose. Need to reglue"

"loose fitting and rattles at higher speeds"

"Several large plastic pieces of trim on the driver's side have popped out. The holes that their tabs fit into have enlarged over time and will no longer hold the trim"

"Paint bubbles formed on the hood in two different areas. Notify Toyota who would not stand behind it. Claimed that someone dropped battery acid on hood. Battery only on one side of car and no one dropped battery acid. I paid privately for repaint"

"Could be from living at altitude -- constant sun exposure. But it is distressing that the paint on the hood is fading/cracking"

"Clear coat is fading and starting to look bad, especially the roof"

"Paint was peeling in the lower quarter panel"

"The paint on the roof is fading and pealing. I keep the care in a garage most of its life."

"From what I can put together Toyota had a problem with some primer. The primer didn't adhered properly and allows the paint to peel, down to the metal. The problem started as chalky looking paint in the fall of 2018 and the paint and primer soon started peeling from the roof of the car. Now the trunk and hood have started looking chalky. Toyota does not recognized this as a problem, out of warranty mostly, but they also don't acknowledge the problem exists. The issue is unresolved, it's hard to spend this amount of money, mostly for cosmetics, on a car that's supposed to be an economy model."

"paint fade in differt places"

"Paint on the roof discoloring and peeling 2 years ago. Did not repair"

"Paint has been poor quality since it was delivered. Now it's starting to peel in some places. All paint is faded. Doesn't affect function of the car, but it looks pretty ghetto. Not as bad as 1990 Mazda Protege."

"On all toyotas I have owned the paint becomes a problem after about 8. on the 2009 it started to peal on the roofand engine hood The roof is starting to rust thru the cracks."

"Known problem with white Toyota Corollas. Already had two body panels repainted because of peeling paint. Now the paint on the hood is peeling. Toyota has now issued a service bulletin and has a program to address it. Haven't been able to take advantage of it yet because of ongoing pandemic."

"Rear bumper pealing substantially."

"Florida sun is hard on paint job."

"Paint is chalking. Stains Like tree sap are difficult to remove."

"Clear coat detererated above the windshield and scuffs to the forward cowling"

"Paint is chalking. Appearance of flat paint. Stains like tree sap difficult to remove"

"Paint has chipped in inexplicable areas on the hood and on the front doors. In some areas it looks as if paint has faded!"

"Patches of rust occurring on the roof section of the cat. There are four incidences of this problem. the affected area equals approximately 1 sq cm."

"Rust around the rear wheel wells on both sides of the car. started around 2017"

"We live in a sub-tropical climate --Galveston, Texas-- along the Gulf Coast. Rust is inevitable. It occurred OUTSIDE, not "in", as you suggest."

"Paint peeling caused roof and trunk to oxidize. Paint was defective."

"There was some surface rust which we'll repair shortly"

"Galveston, Texas. Salt air. Top of car rusting. Same thing happened to last one after 10 years. Sandpaper and Rustoleum ought to give me another 10 years"

"Left door on bottom edge got some rust"

"Excessive rust areas around wheel well on front and rear driver side"

"Speed sensor continually failing"

"Warning light. Have not had checked out yet"

"Within 1 week of acquiring the car I had the ABS disconnected because if I braked too quickly & hard, the brakes would not work at all & I risked crashing into whatever I was braking to avoid"

"I have a abs light on which is due to a sensor but to fix it I have to pay for a wheel bearing for a total cost of $600 plus"

"Sensor went bad. Had Geico breakdown and they wouldn't honor it. Said rust voids coverage. Got rid of Geico"

"Issue related to TSB-0205-09. Known defect in ABS wiring/connector caused entire ABS, VSC, and TRAC systems to disable. Warranty coverage was only 3 years (from original purchase). Costs $700 per wheel (x 2) to fix. Should have been recall, not TSB"

"Rear sensor issue. The code is for dirty sensor. The ABS had strange behavior activating when not needed at all (loss of braking power due to ABS thinking the car lost traction). Toyota disconnected the sensor some month ago and repairs will be next week."

"Sensor in therear failed. ABS did not detect correctly that sensor failed and remained operational in some cases. This lead to lossof braking power. Complete read wheel remplacement on both sides."

"The ABS control unit under the hood is failing, resulting in the ABS functionality to be reduced and at times not work properly, affecting the traction control system as well. The cost of repair/replacement of the unit is significant."

"The ABS failed on a corner and caused me to go off a small cliff. I am lucky to be alive"

"Problems stopping when one inch or so of snow car would not stop when I wanted and I have driven cars for 3 Million KM,s. I had it back to the dealer several times and I told them not to put ABS system on as it was not working on my car. I have driven the car without the ABS system and I am satisfied it is not a safety concern for myself with my driving experience but my wife is afraid to drive it as she has had some close encounters with old system ABS. I felt the sdealer was passing the buck a"

"Car would not respond when two or more inches of snow was present and you could not get the car to stop and several times I had close calls yet dealer said all was well and suggested I pump the brakes. I did all these things and it did not work for me and with 3 million or so km,s under my belt as a traveler. I told them not to use my ABS brakes so I use my car breakes without ABS. Another good winters driving for me yetr feel Toyota let me down but otherwise Toyiota is still my dependable brand"

"Brake pads wore out at only about 25000 miles, very premature. I replaced them myself."

"This is the second time the brakes show wearing out, only 4 years since previous brakes replacement at 5 years with very low mileage (driving approximately 8000 miles per year)."

"The front brake rotors would warp after about 4-5,000 miles. I would have to take the car back to have the rotors resurfaced. After the 3rd time having this done they replaced the rotors and I have had no problem with them since. The work I had done on the brakes was done by AAA Car Care, they never charged me for any of they work as it fell within their warranty period."

"New rotors. New brake pads."

"Had problems with the rotors a number of times. Had them resurfaced. Had them replaced a number of times."

"The bearings went bad causing the serpentine belt to break."

"Pump developed small leak - replaced it"

"Since 2013, car inspections said my water pump was leaking, but I never saw any indication of it or had to replace soolant. Finally, in 2019 it sounded like the bearings were going out of it and I had it replaced."

"For six years, the dealership always said I had engine coolant leak, but I never had to refill the coolant fluid Six months ago, the engine made a very bad sound, but kept running.

"made wining sound"

"Bearings out complete new. 228.00 cost Could have broke on highway"
