2013 Toyota Corolla engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving west on highway 50 at 65 MPH at approximately 7 pm, I turned off the cruise control and the motor stopped at the same time. The car immediately began to slow down and I attempted to restart the motor, which was impossible with the car in gear (automatic transmission). The emergency lights were then turned on as the cars behind were honking their horns and other cars were passing right and left. We were in the second lane with the headlights, also on, of course. I tried starting the car in neutral and that didn't work. When we came to a full stop, I put the car in park and started the car. Everything went well after that.
When accelerating to pass another vehicle the engine misfired and I had no power to continue passing the vehicle. This has been fixed several times at the dealer but continues to happen.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 toyota corolla. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, the power steering intermittently failed without warning. The vehicle became increasingly difficult to maneuver. Also, the contact mentioned that the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 19,800.
Was trying to reverse and all of sudden the car just turns off ..driving on the freeway and the accelerator is taking for ever to pick up this all stared from the day I bought it I call in right away and they told me that I was not able to take the car back.
In the past year this car has exhibited multiple occurrences (52 documented) of delayed acceleration from 1 to 3 seconds when pressing on the accelerator pedal. I have tried to get toyota to acknowledge and repair the problem unsuccessfully as the car has been covered under original warranty throughout this time. Multiple drivers have attested to the defect. In ncds arbitration toyota claimed pauses were due to the "traction control" or "electronic vehicle stability control" kicking in and reducing power to the wheels. This couldn't be the case as in none of the incidents did the instrument panel lights which come on when those features activate light up. Most of the incidents occurred on dry, asphalt, and straight roads and non-hurried driving. This problem is a safety hazard as it occurs intermittently and random without warning.
2003 toyota corolla. Consumer writes in regards to supplement restraint system and electronic control module recalls. *smd the consumer believed the repair shop and toyota motor company, failed to remedy 2 a safety recalls on her vehicle. The consumer took her vehicle to the repair shop, when she retrieved her vehicle, she was informed one of the recalls could not be completed because the technician was ill, and she would have to make another appointment. She made another appointment, and when she returned to get the vehicle, she was informed again, the only tech, who could perform the recall, did not come in. She made another appointment. However, she received call saying not to come in, because the technician was absent again. The consumer called another dealer, and according to their computer, both recalls had been performed.
For three weeks we have been wondering why our new toyota corolla is steaming hot inside. Since we use it solely to commute to school which is just 2 miles away, we solve the problem by winding down the windows. The kids were complaining that this car is exceptionally hot and we thought it absorbs and retains the summer heat due to its darker color. Last weekend, we decided to drive an hour away from home. By the time we headed for home, it was afternoon and the vehicle was parked under the sun for about five hours. We turned on the AC in the hope to cool it down. Fifteen minutes later, I felt dizzy and drowsy. I struggled to keep myself awake. I was terrified to find that the AC is not just failing to cool the car down, it was emitting steaming hot air. We quickly wind down the windows to let the summer air in, which felt much cooler in comparison. The kids were very quiet and scared. As soon as we reached home, my son complained that his eyes felt very hot. His whole body felt very hot. He felt very tired and sleepy. First thing monday morning, I sent the car back to the dealer. They found a leak and had the parts ordered. I have to drive the car home unfixed until the parts arrive. I am now still driving a new defective car without AC. Three days later, my son is still running a low grade fever and I dare not let him sit in the car with such poor ventilation under the hot summer sun. I come to realize that the AC was broken when the car was sold to me brand new.
*steering* I went to visit my dad & run some errands in la county on july 6th 2013. I reside in orange county so I had to get on the freeway. The speed limit on california freeways is 65 miles per hour. When I got up to 65 miles per hour my car started veering off to the left & I had keep a firm grip on the steering wheel with both hands to keep the car in my lane. The speed limit in irvine on most streets is 50 miles per hour. I don't seem to have the veering problem at 50 miles per hour or less like I did at 65 miles per hour. Very scary. *engine problems 2 times so far* on 8/14/13 I tried to start my car to run an errand & it wouldn't start. I turned the key towards me & tried to start it again then it started right up. I thought that it was a one time incident so I let it go. Earlier today 8/17/13 the same thing happened. I put the key in the ignition, turned the key & nothing happened, it didn't start up. Once again I turned the key towards me then turned it in the opposite direction & it started right up. I just bought this car on 6/9/13 & after the test drive it had 5 miles on it when I drove off of the dealer's lot "power toyota cerritos" aka autonation. I currently have 649 miles on my car. I plan on contacting the dealership service dept on 8/19/13 to make an appointment to have my vehicle inspected. If this problem persists I'm going to contact a lemon law attorney. I have a disabled child that I use this vehicle to transport to & from doctor's appointments. I bought a toyota because of the reputation of dependability that the name carries. Now I'm not so sure.
