Toyota Corolla Change Vehicle

"I am unable to access the bottom of the screen. Therefore, I am unable to pair my new phone with the bluetooth system, and unable to scan the radio and other functions."

"I bought the car in 2014. by 2016, from time to time, maybe a few times a month, it locks up. If I leave it alone, it will take a full minute to unfreeze. Sometimes it easier to do a hard reset (press and hold power button)."

"I cannot change the sound from front to back or side to side because when I hit the button to control the sound, nothing happens."

"Replaced system"

"Radio balancing as well as scanning functions would not work. Toyota had a recall bullentin about this problem. The dealer tried a software fix, did not work. Ended up replacing the whole radio and display assembly, under warranty. This problem accured just before the warranty expired."

"The display screen died after only two and a half years. Toyota paid to replace it"

"GPS, Radio/display screen stopped working. $1000 for dealer to replace with rebuilt unit or $3600 for new unit. Total rip off....should of been a recall per other online owners."

"iPod interface fails daily. Have to reset the device at least twice on every trip. Toyota said it was the iPods fault, told me to have it updated. Did NOT help at all. Toyota has no fix for this, they pretend it doesn't happen (based on numerous Onli"

"Mail feature stop working. It never understands instructions."

"Several instances of navigation system crashes when system actively in use. A couple of instances of audio system crashes when system in use"

"I'd swear it's trying to kill me. Within 3 months of purchase I was driving into an unknown area. As I needed to switch from one freeway to another, I needed to take a flyover interchange. Halfway up the flyover it told me to turn left. No joke."

"Replaced system"

"Instructions confusing"

"The entire screen went dead, including the radio . I couldn't use anything. Toyota replace it at their cost"

"The phone is in an out of the Entune system"

"The infotainment display is used for Bluetooth phone pairing. Display calibration has drifted, making pairing a new phone impossible. The radio is also affected. It is apparently a known and common problem with this model, but Toyota refuses to take responsibility. From on-line sources, a new infotainment system would be needed at a cost of about $1,000. I am very unhappy with Toyota."

"Same problem as with LEAF. Had 2 get a new phone and it won't pair up with Bluetooth."

"Had a problem connecting and disconnecting phone."

"As previously stated"

"The infotainment display calibration has drifted, making some of the radio controls impossible to use. It is apparently a known and common problem with this model, but Toyota refuses to take responsibility. From on-line sources, a new infotainment system would be needed at a cost of about $1,000. I am very unhappy with Toyota."

"Radio stopped working with black screen and was trying to reboot. Happened twice and restarted on its own. Web search shows known problem with this 2014 model but Toyota didn't fix. Radio reliability questionable"

"had to replace entire unit. expensive"

"Driver's side front speakers producing little to no sound. It is currently at the dealership being diagnosed"

"The speakers in the rear have a lot of static. It was this way from the start. I mostly listen to news and did not notice until I started playing Christmas music"

"left speakers stopped working"

"Front drivers speakers failed"

"No sound from left front speaker."

"The front driver side speaker fades in and out some of the time. Don't know the cause for sure-it could be in the cd player because thats when I notice it."

"Can not understand hardly any comments. I don"t even use it anymore"

"Voice recognition does not synchronize"

"Passenger side ceiling liner rattled. The dealer had to pull open and put additional insulation in the area"

"Rattles in the dash. Been to the dealer several times and still hasn't been fixed"

"dash rattles intermitantly"

"Dashboard rattles repaired by dealer under a warranty still occasionally an issue"

"Constant rattle in drivers side door and other rattles from unidentified areas"

"Front dash rattles and the back dash rattles when cold outside.Front dash had to be replaced"

"After blower replacement developed rattle in dash"

"problem with front wheels, there was a clicking sound that took two trips to fix"

"Upon initial start of vehicle it makes a scratchy, grinding sound for approximately 10 seconds. Dealership denies this sound. I've told them and taken it in 4 times"

"squeaks comming from the left side driver arm rest on the door handle. poor plastic and foam quality.went to the dealer twice and still squeaks"

"Since getting the car the dash rattles"

"Several rattles in the dash"

"Wind noise-perhaps just from mirrors turbulence"

"very much road and wind noise at highway speed."

"High level of wind noise around doors"

"Drivers side mirror whistled at 30 mph and above. Dealer replaced and it still whistled. Manufacture rep came and removed mirror and placed styrofoam behind the glass and stated that it seem to be a manufacture problem. This was not the first one he"

"on the highway we could hear the Wind at 100km/h speed or more"

"Headlights are different from sealed beams and it took some adjustment in my driving habits to see properly. The dealer went out of his way to get me properly orientated. I'm fine with the lights now!"

"Headlights will not stay on high"

"I had one low beam headlight burned out. The dealer was busy, so I left it with an independent place, someone I trusted. I thought it would be a simple replacement of a bulb. After about an hour they called to say it was a bigger deal than they thought. They needed to remove the bumper to get at the headlight assembly, and that the low beam bulb part was sealed (but not the high beam or turn signal bulbs). I told them to stop and that I would come over. Meanwhile I called the mechanic who did all my cars for 25+ years when I lived in N.H. 4 years ago. I also called the dealer where I bought the car. They all thought it should be a simple swap of a bulb. The mechanic admitted that the car was actually too new, and that he hadn't yet needed to replace a low beam on a 2014 Corolla. At the dealer I spoke to someone who called down to the service department, but it seemed to be a perfunctory answer. Tell him it's about $35 dollars. Then I looked online, and found many references to it being a new thing with Corollas, and it did require an entire replacement of the whole part -- both headlights, parking lights, and turn signal lights. So even though some people reported being able to hack the old part open and replace the bulb, and glue the hacked back of the low beam portion back together, I decided to pay what they asked. It turned out to be close to $700. I did get the old part from the mechanic, and I couldn't see any way to exchange the low beam bulb without cutting plastic with a saw of some type. I'm very disappointed with Toyota for this. I have owned several Toyotas previously and always had a respect for their engineering."

"From day one the LED headlights in this car have been terrible; they don't illuminate properly, and the glare angers drivers coming from the opposite direction. Toyota has offered no remedy for the problem. I'll never buy another car that doesn't have an IIHS good rating on its headlights."

"I went to an independent repair company to have them replace my low beam headlight. I have owned other Corollas, and assumed it would be an easy fix -- possibly $75 to $100. Instead I was told that the bumper had to be partially removed, and an entire headlight assembly needed to be installed -- the headlight unit was sealed and the bulb was not independently removable. I checked with the dealer where I bought it (in New Hampshire), they said it was an easy fix. I checked with the mechanic who serviced all my cars in N.H. for more than 20 years, someone whose answer I trust. He said my car was so new that he'd never had to fix a headlight. Finally after a lot of checking on the phone and online and with the local repair shop, I decided to let them go ahead. It was over $600. I had them give me the old part, and sure enough I could see how it would be easy to switch a high beam bulb, but the low beam bulb definitely looks sealed in behind a very thick magnifying glass which sits in front of the bulb cavity. It would be possible to cut the plastic and maybe replace the bulb, and then re-glue the magnifying lens back in place, and some online comments indicated that owners had done that. It also appeared that perhaps the headlights varied in different parts of the country. In the end I decided to let the repair shop go ahead, after all they already had my bumper off. I felt it was a very bad design on Toyota's part, and it seemed like the dealers (local and back in N.H.) were giving me an answer based on general knowledge of older Corollas and not on my model 2014. So is that reasonable? -- $600 divided by 5 years of use is $120 per year. This is about the only repair I ever have needed other than tires and oil changes."

"The light covers are plastic and are already in need of replacing because of discoloration, foggy look, and scratches."

"The headlights are not very bright and don't work well in the desert climate in the southwest. They're pretty dim."

"The LED headlights are horrendous. They do not sufficiently light the road, but oncoming drivers think your brights are on, so they flash or hold their brights. Bulbs cannot be replaced; you must buy the entire lighting unit--over $700. The Toyota dealer has offered no remedy for the problem, even as it acknowledges it. Otherwise, the 2014 LE Eco is a great car. But the headlight problem is a safety issue. Therefore, I answered that I would not likely buy the car again. In fact, I won't buy any other Toyota if similar LED headlights are installed . . . and I'm a lifetime Corolla owner. Too bad. I'm deeply disappointed by the company."

"The wire to the horn ripped off and it was not functioning till it was repaired by Toyota dealership with no charge"

"The locking device inside both front doors failed to function using the remote unlock button to the ignition key. The doors could be manually locked/unlocked only with the key."

"Door locks would stick locked or unlocked. Toyota replaced all the electronic locks."

"We just bought this car, it had about 13000 miles on it and one or more of the tire pressure sensors is already going out"

"Tire pressure light comes on all the time, even with new tires and right after the tires have correct air pressure."

"The tire pressure box stays on almost constantly and even though I return to the dealer and it gets turned of, it will pop back on before I get home (I live a mile from my repair guy)."
