2017 Toyota Corolla Other Problems

Since your vehicle was hit broadside in an accident, you've noticed a shake and hovering noise coming from the front, along with the car pulling hard to the left when accelerating. Your mechanic confirms he can feel and hear these issues but hasn't found the cause, even though your alignment, tires, and suspension were checked. The problem likely stems from hidden damage from the collision that may require a more detailed inspection of the front suspension components, steering components, or frame alignment.

Your car's paint is chipping off on the doors and trunk, affecting both the interior and exterior surfaces. You've reported this issue to Toyota multiple times since 2023, and you're concerned that Toyota may not be aware this is happening on blue Corolla models. Addressing this will likely require a professional paint inspection and possible repainting of the affected panels at a Toyota dealer.

Your 2017 Toyota Corolla's original Blizzard Pearl paint has been peeling in spots across the car despite multiple repair attempts by Toyota (in August 2021 and June 2024). New peeling spots have continued to appear since the last repair, but your local Toyota dealer has refused to fix them since November 2024. Your car is covered under Toyota's paint peeling recall program for 2009-2018 Corollas, which was extended to 14 years to address this manufacturing defect. Resolving this issue may require a complete vehicle repaint rather than spot repairs to prevent the peeling from recurring.

Twice within one month my Corolla experienced Sudden Unintended Acceleration. The first time I had just entered the parking lot of my local Star Market. I stopped for a man in the crosswalk and was just about to ease off the break when I saw a woman approaching the crosswalk so I stayed on my break. Suddenty the car revved up and went forward. I think it was so loud the woman heard it and stopped. My car returned to normal operation within maybe five seconds and as I drove by the woman, I yelled there was something wrong. Went home and scheduled an appointment with Toyota. It took a few days for them to check my car. I think this type of issue brings in the next level up of repair. I was told they went over everything and could find nothing wrong. My car was safe to drive. I drove it for exactly one month and it did the same thing. This time I was inching my way into a parking space that was up against a wall. Nowhere near the gas. I was maybe a couple of feet from the wall when the car accelerated again. The engine really revved up again and I went into the wall. The car was drivable, and I got it right back to Toyota. It is still sitting there pending investigation. I am waiting to hear from someone from their liability department. I'm not sure what will happen, but I know I will not drive that car again. My biggest concern is that Toyota will claim I'm elderly and hit the gas, not the brake. That is not what happened.

Unknown I didn’t have any accidents

I was traveling on the interstate home from work one night, I was kinda tired, I put on my turning signal to let the person behind me know I was getting in the right lane know when all of a sudden a car sped by, the blind spot warnings didn’t come on at all, as a matter of fact I only saw them appear only twice since I had this car and they haven’t been on since and I’ve had this car for a week and two days, that’s an accident waiting to happen.

I RECIEVED A LETTER ABOUT "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" FROM TOYOTA COMPANY. IT SAYS "INCOMPLETE OR NONDEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS MAY OCCUR." I TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA OF ORLANDO DEALER TO HAVE NEW PARTS REPLACED, BUT THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THOSE PARTS TO REPLACE FOR MY CAR. I ASKED THEM WHEN THEY HAVE NEW PARTS TO FIX MY CAR. THEY SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN, JUST GO HOME AND WAIT. I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY EVERY TIME I DRIVE TO WORK OR DO ERRANDS. THIS IS AN URGENT SAFETY RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DON'T HAVE NEW PARTS READY TO FIX CUSTOMERS' CAR. HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED?

I WAS DRIVING ALONG A SUBURBAN STREET WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC IN NICE WEATHER WHEN I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A LIKE A LOUD EXPLOSION. I THOUGHT I GOT SHOT BY A GUN BUT I DIDN'T FEEL ANY PAIN SO I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS SHOT. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE TO CHECK THE DAMAGE, I WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. LATER ON, MY HUSBAND SAW THE SUNROOF SHATTERED IN OUR GARAGE, SOMETHING I COULD NOT SEE BECAUSE OF MY HEIGHT.

PERSONALLY I AM A RATHER TALL PERSON. THE CAR WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR TALL PEOPLE. WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH I WENT TO REST MY LEFT ANKLE TO A CLOSER SPOT ALONG THE DOOR AND SEAT. THE GAS LOCK AND TRUNK LEVER ARE IN THE SAME PLACE MY HEAL WAS, AND THE TRUNK OPENED WHILE GOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THEY DIDN'T DESIGN THE CAR TO KEEP THE GAS LID OR TRUNK CLOSED IF ACCIDENTALLY TRIGGERED WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. MY SECOND ISSUE WITH THE CAR IS THAT IT HAS ISSUES GOING INTO PARK. THE CAR ROLLS JUST A LITTLE AND THE SHIFTER CLICKS IN A DELAYED REACTION ONCE PLACED IN PARK.

WHEN YOU PUSH THE SPORTS BUTTON THAT GIVES IT SPEED YOU DRIVE ABOUT 5 MILES AND THE CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLADH. THEN THE CAR WILL NOT DRIVE OVER 30MPH. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO FRED HESS DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. BUT IT WILL STILL DO IT. SO I STOPPED USING IT. I ONLY HAVE 20K MILES ON THE CAR. SO IT'S DANGEROUS IF YOUR ON THE FREEWAY.

CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTION, TRACTION CONTROL MALFUNCTION, COLLISION RADAR WARNING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO SOLVE ISSUE. TRANSMITION VIBRATION WHEN CHANGING FROM 2ND TO 3RD & BACK FROM 3RD TO 2ND GEAR. ALL SAFETY EQUIPMENT, SPECIFICALLY CRUISE CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE WARNING, COLLISION WARNING ARE TURNED OFF & AN ERROR WARNING IS VISIBLE ON THE DASH, DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMS IT IS AN UNKNOWN ISSUE BUT 8 OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS BROUGHT THEIR CAR IN THE SAME DAY, WE HAD A DISSCUSION WHILE WAITING & DRINKING COFFEE.

CAR HAS SEVERAL ISSUES, ONE IS DEFINITELY THE VEHICLE WARNING LIGHTS IN DASH, THE WARNING LIGHTS POP UP AT DIFFERENT TIMES FOR NO REASON OCCASIONALLY AND DEALERS CAN'T FIND ISSUES, CAR ALSO HAS ISSUES WITH BRAKING SYSTEM. SEVERAL TIMES WENT AROUND CURVES IT ON STOPS AND CAR LOCKED UP AND WENT SIDEWAYS, DEALER SAID TESTED BUT LESS THAN A MILE PUT ON CAR?? CAR DOES NOT ACT LIKE IT HAS NORMAL ABS AND ALMOST GOT IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS WITH MY KIDS AND GRANDSON BECAUSE OF IT MY STOPPING OR LOCKING UP!! ALSO HAVE ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT IT WITH RADIO/FEATURES/DISPLAY. THINGS SHOW UP HALF WAY OR IT TURNS OFF AT TIMES AND ALSO CALLS OUT EVEN WHEN UNTOUCHED. WORRIED ABOUT GPS CUTTING OUT WHEN NEEDED TOO. ALSO PLASTIC PART UNDER PASSAGED SIDE GLOVE BOX CONTINUOUSLY FALLS OFF, TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY JUST PUT BACK IN, DIDN'T REPLACE BUT YOU COULD SEE THE BEND WHERE HOOK WAS. AND GAS MILEAGE AND THE RECENT CVT RECALL, THEY UPDATED, NOT REPLACED AFTER I ASKED AND DESCRIBED HOW IT WAS DRIVING, AND STILL HAVING ISSUES BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T REPLACE AFTER I SAID IT WOULDN'T GO OVER A CERTAIN SPEED DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL OR ROADS REQUIRING OVER 45 MPH. THE DRIVING WARNING THING WHEN YOU GO OVER LINES DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK EITHER, IT DOES 50% OF THE TIME. EXPLAINED THAT TOO BUT NOTHING DONE. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS CAR!! HAD SINCE 11/2016 AND BARELY DROVE BECAUSE OF ISSUES AND SAFETY CONCERNS. IT OUT HAS 8000 MILES BECAUSE OF IT.

I HAVE OWNED MY CAR JUST UNDER A YEAR. I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY DOWN SHIFTING AT STOPS AND NOW I GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SO I PULL INTO MY CLOSEST AUTO PARTS STORE SINCE IT'S SUNDAY. BOOM 17 CODES FOR EMISSION CONTROL FAILURE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS LESS THAN A YEAR AND IM ALREADY SHOWING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND EMISSION CONTROL ISSUES. THIS IS NOT A GOOD SIGN FOR FUTURE YEARS TO COME. THERE WAS A RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR INVOLVING THE TRANSMISSION AND NOW ITS SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED. I FIND IT STRANGE ESPECIALLY SINCE TOYOTA KEEPS DOWNPLAYING EVERYTHING EVERY TIME I GO IN.

THE HEATER SYSTEM THAT HAS AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL EVERY TIME THAT YOU START THE CAR THE HEATER SYSTEM WILL BRING IN THE OUTSIDE COLD AIR INSTEAD OF RECIRCULATED AIR NOW MY WIFE DOES NOT LIKE THIS ONE BIT I TOOK THE WIFES CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT BRENT BROWN TOYOTA ON 01-17-2018 I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPT. ABOUT THE HEATER SYSTEM PROBLEM AND I FELT THAT I WAS GIVEN THE RUNAROUND AND I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THATS THE WAY IS IS!!!! ANY TIME YOU MAKE ANY HEATER CHANGES THE HEATER SYSTEM CAN BE ON RECIRCULATED AIR AND WILL CHANGE OVER ON ITS OWN TO THE COLD OUTSIDE AIR. WHILE DRIVING ANY WHERE. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.

PROBLEM WITH THE STABILITY AND ENGINE WHEN THE CAR RUN IN LOW VELOCITY.

PURCHASED CAR ON 04/30/17 AND SIX DAYS LATER, GOT A MALFUNCTION WARNING MESSAGE FOR THE FRONT CAMERA DURING CAR START UP. CAMERA IS PART OF THE NEW STANDARD SAFETY SENSE PACKAGE. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO CORRECT ISSUE AND ORDERED A NEW CAMERA. INDICATED THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY PREVIOUS KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE CAMERA. DEALER TOOK LONGER THAN USUAL SINCE THEY HAVE NEVER REPLACED A CAMERA BEFORE AND HAD NO CLUE HOW TO RECALIBRATE.

Your car's paint is chipping off in areas. This is a cosmetic issue that doesn't affect how your car drives, but you may want to address it to prevent rust from developing underneath. Fixing this will likely involve sanding the affected areas and repainting them.
