""Every once in a while, when I turn my car on, the display just wont turn on or respond to touching the display. Sometimes it will eventually come on while Im driving. The issue is usually resolved if I turn my car off and back on. Sometimes, even if it turns on normally when I start the car, it will randomly go black/blank and unresponsive, and doesnt usually stop the music from playing when that happens. Then it will take a bit and respond again, or just stay off until I reach my destination.""

Other major engine problem

"Engine oil smells like gasoline and engine misfires on all cylinders shortly after startup. I was told to wait to bring it in under warranty because there may be a major recall soon on 2023 Toyota Corolla 2 liter dynamic engines. Dealership claimed the shuddering in my cvt transmission between 30 and 40mph is normal. I will never buy another Toyota again after all this!! They are obviously cutting corners in their quality these days!!"
