2024 Toyota Corolla

Component/system failed: The SRS Airbag System malfunctioned. After a rear-end collision on October 3, 2025, in Gwinnett County, GA, the airbags did not deploy. The vehicle displayed an alert: “SRS Airbag System – Malfunction detected” at 16:02. Safety risk: My safety was put at risk because the airbags did not function during a significant impact. This failure could have resulted in severe injury if the collision had been more forceful or from another angle. Inspection/reproduction: On October 6, 2025, I brought the vehicle to Atlanta Toyota. Instead of documenting the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and providing a report, the dealer cleared the fault code and recalibrated the system without my authorization, effectively erasing critical evidence of the malfunction. The invoice confirms this. Inspections by others: The vehicle was inspected only by the Toyota dealer. It has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives, but I have legal counsel and am preserving the evidence for further independent inspection. Warning lamps/messages: Yes. The SRS Airbag System Malfunction message appeared immediately after the collision on October 3, 2025. I have photographic evidence of this alert.

My vehicle will jerk into the left lane of the road when lane keeping assistance is activated. It appears isolated only to situations when I am travelling on roads that were recently repaved and lines haven't been painted yet. However, these roads are equipped with consistent reflective indicators marking the center of the road because these roads remain unpainted for months. There are many of these roads where I live so it is a frequent issue that I experience multiple times everyday. I have never allowed the vehicle to fully execute it's correction in fear it would drive off of the road or into oncoming traffic but it is a very scary event when my car tried to kill me.

My car was parked in my driveway on am 80 degree afternoon. I went into the car to get something. When I closed the driver door, the entire back window shattered. I am the only driver of the vehicle and there were no issues with the window prior to this- no cracks, no incidents, no rocks on the road.. The only indication there was any issue was condensation on the inside of the back window two days before this happened. I thought this was unusual, but it did not seem like something to call the dealer about. I took the car to IRA Toyota in Saco, Maine. They informed me there was no way to 'prove' a defect, as there was no longer a window to inspect. They suggested I call my insurance and lie about the incident, stating that 'nobody would believe a window just blew out' and they were just trying to help me get the repair covered by my insurance. I know there is currently a class-action suit against Honda for this same issue, and found over 20 shared instances in Toyotas (of various models) from 2021,2022, 2023, and 2024. I understand glass is not included in warranties, and I think this only makes sense for manufacturers. The fact that a window could spontaneously shatter at any moment is certainly a safety issue and should be covered under warranties or some other level of accountability. When my window combusted, all of the glass fell into the back window and back seat. If any kids or animals had been in the back seat (as they almost always are), they would have been covered in glass. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

My car has 5358 miles. Started car. DRIVE START CONTROL MALFUNCTION LIGHT; CHECK ENGINE LIGHT; SEE DEALER LIGHT all came on. Car would hardly move forward or reverse. Felt like the brakes were on. Heard subtle clicking sounds from engine. Looked this up as I never heard of this. Toyota says you MUST STOP DRIVING ASAP, assuming you "can" drive. You can LOOSE CONTROL of the car. There are many things that can cause the light to come on. Dealer "says" they never heard of this. My car had to be towed. Mechanic found nothing wrong and reset computer modules. I got my car back after 3 days. Dealer says NO GUARANTEE it won't happen again WITHOUT warning. So; anywhere, anytime, my car will just stop driving? HOW IS THIS SAFE? Internet searches show it's NOT UNCOMMON. Toyota makes it hard to file a complaint.

There was a recall on my vehicle for the skid and emergency braking and was told it was taken care of Feb 2025 at my service appointment. I was involved in a car accident on Aug 11, 2025, everything that was supposed to be fixed in the recall did not operate during my crash. I reconfirmed with the dealership that they did the recall repair and they again said yes but if they did then the repair completely failed. There was no emergency braking available, the car skid a long distance, no airbags deployed even though all sensors in the front were engaged and collision center confirmed they should have gone off. Vehicle is currently at collision center and is available to be inspected.

When the sun is overhead (this happens daily in South Florida) the reflection of the ambient light on the instrument panel cover makes it impossible to look at the information on the instrument panel. This essentially makes one drive while being blind. Not a safe concept. It is pathetic that no action has been taken against the company.

This is my fourth service visit for the same unresolved safety issue on my 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid. The problem involves a cracked fuel line and fuel vapor leak in the same area as recall 24TC08 (Fuel Tank Filler Clamp and Vapor Leak Detection). The dealership initially failed to detect this during recall work and later claimed “rodent damage” after two prior visits. I have since used a professional-grade MultiRAE Lite gas detector and documented VOC (volatile organic compounds) levels up to 123 ppm inside the vehicle cabin with the windows up. These readings indicate hazardous fuel vapor and exhaust gas intrusion, which pose serious health and fire risks. I have driven over 200 miles in these conditions), exposing myself to harmful fumes. The dealership has failed to properly repair the issue, and Toyota has not resolved the safety hazard despite repeated service attempts.
