Clutch failure at early miles on multiple cars, there's even blogs about it. They don't want to cover, but it doesn't have the durability of a normal clutch.
The contact owns a 2025 Toyota GR Corolla. The contact stated that while driving at night with the low-beam headlights activated, there was a large dark shadow at certain angles, obstructing visibility while driving at various speeds. The shadow disappeared once the high-beam headlights were activated. Upon initial inspection, the local dealer failed to acknowledge the issue. After performing a personal test against a garage door, the contact confirmed the presence of the shadow with both headlight assemblies. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a follow-up appointment was scheduled. During the second visit, the dealer tested both the vehicle and an identical model from the lot…
Improper factory alignment leading to excessive and premature tire wear on all four tires which creates a safety issue - tire blowout. Toyota refuses to address the issue since my car is 11 months old (within their 1 year warranty period) but has 15K miles (outside their warranty period). Local Toyota dealership stated the car has a bad factory alignment which was confirmed by an independent repair shop. Car is available for inspection but I need to get an alignment as well as new tires to keep the vehicle safe.
The car showed a message that there is a system error and many warning lights came on, including the check engine light. Most of the warning lights indicated that many of the car's ADAS functions were disabled. The car also switched from AWD to FWD. The error code turned out to be P2C90 which relates to the PCV system. So, the car turned off all the safety features as a result of a minor emissions issue! Toyota has no repair for this; they just clear the code, ignoring completely that the safety features are turned off until the error is cleared.
Driving my car normally when, at around 3,800 miles, my car threw a CEL and went into limp mode, while in traffic. I had to pull over safely, immediately shut off vehicle and have it towed to the dealership for diagnostic & repair. The code was the infamous P2C90 Crankcase ventilation leak check engine light code. This has happened over the course of 14k miles, 4+ more times. Each time, the CEL turns on and disables: cruise control, lane assist, blind spot assist, AWD (limp mode) and directly affects driving. I have taken the vehicle back to the same dealer for the same instance 3 recurring times, and I am now pursuing the "final repair" request under Florida Lemon Law. Furthermore, the deal…
Hello, Today (01/21/2026), on my 2025 Toyota GR Corolla vehicle (odometer 5243 miles), after 3200 miles of driving with the updated engine control unit (ECU) as of 10/14/2025 according to the T-SB-0071-25, a P2C90 error appeared again with an Check Engine Light. This happened during acceleration while entering the highway, when the engine speed reached between 3000 and 4000 RPM. This situation disables many of the vehicle's active safety systems (all-wheel drive, vehicle stability control, traction control, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, etc.), exposing owners to unwarranted safety risks due to unexplained fluctuations in the crankcase ventilation monitoring system of a ne…
Manual transmission having problem going into third gear when putting in the clutch to shift. The vehicle would have a transmission grind noise, and the weirdest thing is the clutch is all the way to the ground when shifting. Vehicle can be a hazard for the road if the vehicle cannot shift properly, leaving a little bit of stall time. especially if the vehicle isnât being driven hard and just calmly shifting through that grinding noise doesnât sound too good. Maybe something is wrong with the clutch.
Apple CarPlay will randomly disconnect while wireless and wired, it has happened when only streaming music, streaming music with maps running and phone calls/teams calls with and without maps running. The solution has been to remove the device from the car and the car from the phone, power off and then pair the devices again.
Repair instructions and other communications the manufacturer sent dealers about known issues. A TSB is not a recall, and the repair is usually free only while the car is under warranty; ask your dealer for the bulletin number.
2026 model year Toyota vehicles are equipped with driver side floor mat retainers to secure the floor mat in the correct position. In addition, some models may also utilize retainers for passenger side and rear seat floor mats. During Pre-Delivery Service (PDS), follow the appropriate Installation Procedure to attach the driver side, and if applicable, the passenger side and rear seatfloor mats to the vehicle carpet using the floor mat retainers.
During the manufacturing process, tires are mounted on the vehicle as matched sets to help reduce conditions such as pulling or drifting. If the wheels are replaced or refinished before vehicle delivery, it is important that the tires remain on the vehicle in the same location and in the same direction of rotation.
A battery in a stored vehicle is subject to conditions that can reduce its performance and service life. These conditions include storage period, temperature, parasitic drain, and battery load. Because of these factors, battery inspection and maintenance are required in order to ensure proper operation and optimal battery life.
Long-term or off-site storage requires special care to maintain vehicle condition. The following guidelines should be performed to minimize vehicle component/part degradation due to extendedvehicle storage conditions. Long-term storage can affect a vehicleâs systems and components. Any problems that are found should be corrected immediately.
Pre-Delivery Service (PDS) is a critical step in satisfying our new car customers. Customer feedback indicates the following areas deserve special attention when performing PDS: â¢Careful inspection for paint chips/scratches and body dents/dings. â¢Proper operation of electrical accessories (including interior light, clock, and radio reset). â¢Interior cleanliness. â¢Proper function of mechanical systems. The PDS process helps identify potential vehicle concerns before customer delivery. After completing the PDS process, maintain accurate PDS records by ensuring the required document

In complaints filed with NHTSA for model years 2023–2026, owners most often name: power train, forward collision avoidance, engine. 25 complaints are on record.
No. A complaint is an unverified report from an owner. A technical service bulletin (TSB) is the manufacturer telling dealers how to fix a known issue; it is not a safety recall and is usually covered only under warranty. A recall is a formal safety action, and its repair is free.
File a vehicle safety complaint at NHTSA.gov. NHTSA reads every report, and patterns of complaints are what open defect investigations and, eventually, recalls.
