What Owners Say

Backup or other camera/sensors

""I've had problems with the backup/parking camera several times, and had it checked at the dealership. Apparently the camera gets dirty...or the sunshine causes it camera to not show on the screen. The dealership has cleaned the camera, but it doesn't help when the sunshine hits it.""

Anonymous, PA (2015 Toyota Corolla LE 1.8-L 4 Cyl)
CD player

"The CD player no longer functions, and stopped functioning at the same time as the display screen and radio. Unfortunately, there is a CD still in there that I have not been able to remove because the eject button does not work."

Anonymous A., CA (2015 Toyota Corolla S 1.8-L 4 Cyl)
Display screen freezes up

""The technology used for the display freezes up at the bottom of the screen. As a result, I can not select some previous programmed radio channels and cannot program any further phones to Blue Tooth. Very inconvenient and not worth paying the cost to replace.""

Anonymous A., NB (2015 Toyota Corolla LE Eco 1.8-L 4 Cyl)

""Known issue, continuing problem, cant pair phone, replacement has to be aftermarket & will cost over $1000""

Anonymous, IA (2015 Toyota Corolla Unsure 1.8-L 4 Cyl)
Display screen goes blank

""I've had this problem several years ago. It was checked at the dealership, and was 'fixed' for a short time. It seems that when the sun shines on the camera, the screen goes blank. (It works when I'm in the garage, or at night. I had the camera cleaned, and the screen worked for a while, but it doesn't seem to be working...again.""

Anonymous, PA (2015 Toyota Corolla LE 1.8-L 4 Cyl)

"In January, the display screen that controls the radio and bluetooth connection to my phone stopped working. It alternates between being blank to displaying a screen that shows a picture of itself (the screen with buttons). I can no longer use the radio, navigation, or other features that require the use of this screen. A couple of years prior, the lowermost part of the screen stopped working, so I was not able to connect my new phone via bluetooth, because it required pressing buttons on the bottom of the screen that would no longer function."
