    When problems were reported

    Mileage at the reported incident

    Limited mileage data: 3 of 26 reports include usable mileage. There isn’t enough coverage to show a useful chart.

    NHTSA’s mileage field refers to the reported incident, not necessarily the filing date. This shows report counts, not the likelihood of a failure.

    UNKNOWN. There’s been chatter going around with the L and LE trim line of the Corolla Cross having bad lighting at night.

In the rain a few weeks ago I saw other cars pull far back from myself due to they could barely see me on the road.

    The tail lights on the Toyota Corolla Cross LE 2026 are not as bright as one would think they should be. I've been informed of this by a few passerbys and other drivers. The tail lights on the Cross are very dim and there only two. Very hard to see on a late night. Been told by other Cross drivers of this issue as well, and believe Toyota should make them tighter for the evening hours.
