Toyota Corolla electrical problems

THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT STAYS ON AND WON'T RESET AFTER THE 15000 MILE OIL CHANGE. AFTER 16000 MILES THE HORN STOPPED WORKING. AT 16900 MILES ON 08/07/2018 THE DRIVER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, AND THE STEERING WHEEL COVER WHERE THE AIRBAG IS IS LOOSE. THE BRAKES AND ALIGNMENT HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND ARE GOOD, BUT SOMETIMES THE WHEELS LOCK AND THE CAR DOESN'T BRAKE WELL, AS IF THE ANTILOCK SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER RECALL REGARDING THE POWER TRAIN; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE ACCORDING TO THE DEALER (ROUND ROCK TOYOTA, 2307 I-35, ROUND ROCK, TX 78664, (512) 904-6700). THE CONTACT WAITED BEYOND A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME AND WAS UNCERTAIN OF WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WOULD PROVIDE THE MANUFACTURER RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. *TT *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA COROLLA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SEAT FAILED TO LATCH CORRECTLY TO THE FLOORBOARD AND BECAME LOOSE. IN ADDITION, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT ADJUSTMENT LATCH FRACTURED. HENDRICK TOYOTA SCION WILMINGTON (5640 MARKET ST, WILMINGTON, NC) WAS NOTIFIED, BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. FURTHERMORE, THE CONTACT HAD TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE BATTERY SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. KENDALL TOYOTA (10943 S DIXIE HWY, MIAMI, FL) WAS ALSO MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

I TURNED MY COROLLA WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE RADIO DOES NOT TURN ON OR WORK. IT SHOWS A PICTURE OF A MACHINE OF SOME SORT, AND LOOKS LIKE IT IS REBOOTING, BUT ONCE THE "LOADING BAR" GETS TO THE END, THE SCREEN TURNS BLACK AND STARTS THE REBOOT PROCESS OVER AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT EVER COMPLETEING A REBOOT. THE NAVIGATION, RADIO, BLUE TOOTH, CD PLAYER, OR ANYTHING THAT IS DONE THROUGH THE RADIO SCREEN IS NOT FUNCTIONAL.

THE FRONT DOORS NO LONGER LOCK BY PRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AT ALL, EVEN IF THE LOCK IS PRESSED BY HAND. IT STARTED DOING IT EVERY FEW DAYS, BUT NOW THE DOORS HAVE STOPPED ALTOGETHER. WE WERE ABLE TO FIND OUT THAT THE ACTUATORS ARE FAULTY. THE CAR IS A 2014 AND THE PROBLEM IS SOMETHING WE HAD NO CONTROL OVER. THERE ARE REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH 2014 COROLLAS AS WELL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

THE DISPLAY SCREEN FOR THE RADIO, NAVIGATION, MAINTENANCE REMINDERS, HANDS FREE PHONE USE, ETC. SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHEN STARTED MY CAR. THE SCREEN ONLY SHOWS AN ICON WITH A STATUS BAR THAT MAKES IT APPEAR THAT THE COMPUTER THAT OPERATES THIS SYSTEM IS TRYING TO RESTART. THE SCREEN ITSELF WORKS, BUT THE COMPUTER WON'T BOOT-UP. THIS IS DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, AND PREVENTS THE USE OF ALL THE SAFETY FEATURES THAT RELY ON IT'S FUNCTION. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE READING ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2014-2016 TOYOTA VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE PREMIUM ENTUNE SYSTEM WITH NAVIGATION. THEY ADMITTEDLY STATE THAT THE FUGITSU COMPONENT IS FAULTY AND THEY HAVE SINCE STARTED USING A PANASONIC UNIT TO AVOID FUTURE PROBLEMS. TOYOTA PRICES THE REPLACEMENT PART AT $3450. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE CAR OWNER, BUT RATHER A FAULTY PART THAT WAS USED DURING THE MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE POST OF ONE TOYOTA TECHNICIAN, TOYOTA HAS REPLACED 1 MILLION OF THESE UNITS, BUT UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE REPAIR COST BECAUSE TOYOTA DOES NOT THINK THIS MALFUNCTION IS A SAFETY ISSUE A RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE HANDS-FREE FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK AND THE SCREEN IS VISUALLY DISTRACTING AS IT CONSTANTLY POWERS ON AND OFF. IT ALSO MEANS AN INOPERABLE NAVIGATION SYSTEM COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS NOT HAVING THE HANDS-FREE CALLING AND TEXTING. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET THE RADIO, DO A HARD RESET BY HOLDING THE POWER BUTTON AND REPLACING THE BATTERY. NOTHING WORKS. I CALLED TOYOTA AND GOT ROUTED AROUND AND HUNG UP ON. MECHANIC QUOTED ME MORE THAN $3500 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE WHEN IT IS A KNOWN ENTUNE DEFECT AFFECTING MANY MODELS ACROSS MANY YEARS!
