2017 Toyota Corolla Wipers & Visibility Problems

Your air conditioning compressor isn't working, which is preventing your windshield defroster from functioning properly. Without the A/C compressor running, the defroster can't remove moisture from your windshield, affecting your visibility. The repair will likely involve replacing or repairing the A/C compressor and checking the refrigerant system.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2017 COROLLA AND I AGREE WITH 2 OTHERS THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAS A DESIGN FLAW. IT IS EXTREMELY ANGLED IN TOWARD THE CAR AND REFLECTS THE DASHBOARD IN THE WINDOW. THE DASHBOARD IS LIKE A MIRROR AND THE VENTILATION LEVERS THAT RUN ALONG THE DASH REFLECT IN THE LOWER HALF OF THE WINDOW AND THUS CUT OFF VISIBILITY. I HAVE TO WEAR SUNGLASSES WHENEVER I DRIVE IT AND EVEN SO, NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO HIT A PEDESTRIAN ETC. I CALLED TOYOTA NATIONAL BUT TINA C. (CASE #1910213249) DENIED HAVING ANY KNOWLEDGE OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. VERY DANGEROUS FEATURE AND AFTER BEING A LIFE-LONG TOYOTA OWNER, I AM READY TO SWITCH.

I WON'T TO KNOW WHY IT'S NOT MANDATORY FOR ALL NEWLY MANUFACTURED VEHICLES TO HAVE THE COMPUTERIZED BLIND SPOT ASSISTANCE (BSA) SYSTEM INSTALLED? THIS SYSTEM MUST BE MANDATORY THE SAME AS SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS. VEHICLES SUCH AS THE NISSANS HAVE ADVANCED WARNING SYSTEMS FOR BLIND SPOTS. COUNTLESS MOTOR VEHICLES ACCIDENTS HAPPEN DAILY BECAUSE DRIVERS CAN'T PROPERLY SEE EXISTING TRAFFIC PRIOR TO CHANGING LANES DUE TO SIDE MIRROR BLIND SPOTS. THE DUAL/DOUBLE SIDE MIRROR MUST BE MADE AVAILABLE SO THE DEALERS OR THE INDIVIDUAL CAN REMOVE/REPLACE ALL EXISTING MIRRORS. IT NEEDS TO BE MANDATORY FOR CURRENT OWNERS OF ALL VEHICLES BEING DRIVEN TO HAVE AT LEAST THE DUAL/SPLIT MIRROR. THIS SAFETY REQUIREMENT WILL SAVE COUNTLESS LIVES EACH DAY. THESE WARNING SYSTEMS SHOULD NOT BE A LUXURY FOR ONLY THE RICH. EVERY LIFE MATTERS. THE TECHNOLOGY IS THERE AND MUST BE USED TO HELP SAVE LIVES. PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO WHOM EVER CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR CHANGE.

I PURCHASED BRAND NEW COROLLA 2017 LAST YEAR AND IT IS OFFCOURSE UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAVE REGULAR SERVICE AS ASKED BY DEALER. THIS EVENING I PLAN WITH MY FAMILY TO GO OUT AND ONCE I GET NEAR TO MY CAR I SAW MY REAR SCREEN IS SHATTERED AND I WONDERED WHAT CAUSE THIS AND FOUND NO IMPACT BY ANYTHING EXTERNAL. I TOOK SOME PICS AND LOOK MORE IN DETAIL AND FOUND THAT IT WAS SHATTERED ITSELF DESPITE IT WAS NOT VERY HOT OR COLD WEATHER. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT IT AS WHAT IT HAVE HAPPENED HAVING MY LITTLE KID IN CAR OR MY WIFE. PAYING REASONABLE COST OF VEHICLE AND GETTING POOR SAFETY MAKE ME THINK OF LOGGING THIS COMPLAINT AND I AM SURE SOMEONE WILL LOOK IN TO IT AND WILL RAISE THIS CONCERN WITH AUTHORITIES AND PUBLIC SAFETY NOTICE TOO WITH COROLLA OWNERS/DRIVERS. ONE MORE THING IT WAS PARKED AS USUAL AND IT WAS PARKED IN PRIVATE AREA.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE I FOUND A STRESS CRACK ON THE WIND SHIELD STARTING FROM THE TOP AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IT CRACKED TOWARD THE DRIVER SIDE. I FOUND THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, SO I CONDUCTED SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT A STRESS CRACK HAS OCCURRED IN THE TOYOTA VEHICLES SO THIS WAS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER, WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND A GLASS SPECIALIST CONDUCTED AN INSPECTION AND HE CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT. THIS IS CAUSE FOR CONCERN BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DEEMED AS A MANUFACTURED DEFECT THAT THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT BE REPLACED BY THE DEALER. SO THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN, I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO PUT IN AN INSURANCE CLAIM BY A TOYOTA MANAGER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE CONDUCTED ON THESE VEHICLES.

1917 TOYOTA COROLLA HAS A DESIGN FLAW. WHEN SUN SHINES ON WINDSHIELD THE DASHBOARD IMAGE APPEARS ON WINDSHIELD AND IMPEDE VISIBILITY. I REPORTED MATTER TO TOYOTA CORPORATION AND A CASE NO. 1800320050 WAS SET UP BY ONE PATTY. HER PHONE NO 1-800-331-4331. I WAS SEND TO LIBERTY TOYOTA THE DEALER BUT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, AND REFER THE MATTER TO TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS.

PROBLEM IS THE WINDSHIELD. PART OF THE WHINDSHILED REFLECTS PICTURE OF THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING UNDER CERTAIN SUNLIGHT CONDITION. PICTURE OF THE DASHBOARD APPEARS ON THE WINDSHIELD UNDER CERTAIN SUNLIGHT CONDATION. . THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD WORKS LIKE A MIRROR. PICTURE GOES AND COMES DEPENDING ON THE REFLECTING OF SUNGLIGHT
