While using our navigation system our radio rebooted and will not load. We were using the system for directions because it's hands free. I have tried 7-8 times to reset the system and I even tried disconnecting the battery to perform a hard reset without any luck. The vehicle has approximately 70,000 miles. I am the original owner and haven't had another issues. I looked online and seen hundreds of people complaining about their navigation/radio system doing the same thing. It's obviously something wrong with the system and toyota doesn't seem to be willing to repair the system for less than $1,400.00 from what other corolla owners have stated.
2014 Toyota Corolla electrical complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 52, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a 2014 corolla and out of the blue with in the last few days my entire screen for my audio and navigation went blank on my car. It goes between running a process and then back to a black screen. It's a safety issue because it's very distracting for one, and for two I got the upgraded navigation so I had hands free. I'm very dissatisfied and when looking it up have seen several complaints about this. I have been an avid toyota vehicle owner and for the most part been happy with the vehicles. I think this should be something that is looking into any potentially recalled for them to update this systems this isn't something that I did or anyone else I've seen posting comments on it. To keep loyal customers you have to have good solid products, seems that around 70,000 miles several people have had the same issue. Just around the time your warranty is up. Please look into this for the integrity of your toyota name and safety for those who own this make and model.
My car was parked in my driveway when an electrical fire ignited. I was unaware and a neighbor knocked to let me know the car was smoking. The fire department responded swiftly and determined the fire was electrical and originated in the dash and had burned the entire dash, the fire was limited to this area and did not extend to the engine of the vehicle.
The screen that contains all hands free options continuously acts as if it is rebooting and never finishes. It happened at 70,000 miles and did this suddenly. It has never worked since and we shouldn't have to spend $1,000 for a new one when it wasn't our fault. This is a major distraction when driving at night and have a hard time seeing if a deer comes out or other things I need to watch for. I have adhd and so this causes more problems for me than maybe others. It flashes really bright and goes dim but continues to do this the whole time. This is a danger for me because of the amount of light that exudes off of the screen and never stops. It also is a safety concern due to myself not being able to use any of the hands free options. This must be called in for a recall because it is dangerous to have this happen.
The stereo system with the touch screen keeps looping in a reboot. The bright screen flashes on and off and on and off continuously while driving causing a distraction as you are unable to switch off the stereo system.
When I turn on the fog lights to the car I started smelling a electrical smell. Stopped my car and saw the front left of my car on fire and saw the fog light smoking. My fig light switch is also in the wiper control that was being recalled on other corollas and dont know if that has an effect with the wiper control shorting out. I put out fire and turned off fog lamps and no problem. But when I turn fog lamp on I have the problem where it starts to smoke there. *tr
Bottom half of touch screen is not working
After just five years of use (and only 28,000 miles), both front door locks have quit working. We have to manually lock and unlock the front doors with the key or from the inside. They occasionally work just often enough for us to think they're working again, then we'll come back to the car and find the front doors didn't lock. Not only is this a big annoyance, but it increases the risk of car theft and makes it hard for us to get the doors unlocked with kids or other things in tow. This is way too early for this equipment to be failing.
I have three separate door lock actuaters that have failed or are failing all within a 2 month period with only 51000 miles on the odometer. The front right passenger door will not lock or unlock unless I manually flip the switch, and the front left driver door and left rear passenger door intermittently will not lock or unlock when I use the key fob or when I shift the car into gear. This makes it difficult to know if the car is secured when I park it or when starting to drive, and I am concerned if the rear child safety locks do not function correctly now. I have had the toyota dealership in rochester mn confirmed the need for 3 door lock actuators and are asking for over $1400 for fixing them. I am in touch with toyota north america hoping to be approved for a "goodwill" fix. Doing further research online shows two separate law firms investigating this issue as there has been a significant uptick in door lock actuator failures in various toyota vehicles. I believe they are defective.
Upon starting my vehicle I noticed there was no power to my stereo, clock, dome lights (front and back), keyless entry, power locks, and the TPMS light is suddenly lit. I have not been able to find any blown fuses.
Touchscreen issue dashboard screen calibration issue. Touchscreen issue
I have difficulty when locking/unlocking my vehicle with my remote key fob and main look system from all doors of the vehicle. When the lock/unlock button is pushed on the vehicle's two front doors the driver's side door does not lock with the other doors on the vehicle. The driver side door is the only door that malfunctions all other doors operate efficiently. This locking malfunction occurs when the vehicle is parked. The driver's door can be locked manually by pushing the lock inwards or using the car key to manually lock/unlock the door. Please investigate this issue as the vehicle's locking system is a primary concern for the safety of the vehicle, the vehicle's owner, and the owner's property inside the vehicle. My vehicle is approximately 4 years old. I have also spoken with other toyota corolla owners (including year models of 2014 and 2015) who complain of the same issues.
Both the display and functionality of my 2014 corolla's bluetooth radio navigation unit suddenly stopped working and it appears to be in a never-ending reboot cycle. A picture of the unit appears on the screen with a loading bar underneath it as if it's trying to update its software. However, regardless of how far the loading bar gets, the screen will eventually turn black and start the reboot process all over again. This happens continuously without it ever completing the process, rendering my entire bluetooth radio navigation unit completely useless. Not even the USB charger or aux input will work. After doing some research it turns out to be a very common issue for 2014 corollas and it largely began happening right after the vehicles' 36 month warranty period ended. I believe toyota has already released a technical service bulletin in regards to the matter (tsb 0172.16). It's also a huge safety issue. I bought this car when I moved to california so that I would have the ability to navigate hands free and safely talk on the phone in emergency situations'per the wireless communications device law in california. Now because of this hardware issue, my safety is being jeopardized. Also, because the screen is constantly rebooting, it keeps flashing on and off while I am driving'making it a significant distraction when driving at night.
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.
Driver seatbelt not wanting to unlock when pressing red button. Also touch screen radio not recognizing touch please fix these issues I see multiple others having same issues!
Touch screen stereo went out. Had to replace
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
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!

Audio/navigational unit is not functional, rendering all features (other than actual mobility) non-functional - I travel/live in a hands free city/state, and specifically purchase this vehicle for audio/navigational unit and the blue tooth technology. Also, flashes light uncontrollably while it constantly reboots (distraction - especially at night and during inclement weather). Cannot access diagnostic information on vehicle (tires, engine, etc.) as promoted/promised from entune software. Toyota has a known issue but will not replace the unit (t-sb 0172.16) and states it was due to warranty expiration, but never notified customer (I.e. Me) about issue even when I reached out to toyota to resolve. Even when I notified a local service/dealership, they ignored my safety concerns. Originally toyota said they would help (september), now (december) they are stating they will not.

Power door lock actuators have failed on the driver and front passenger doors. Upon searching online, I found that there is a widespread, ongoing problem with toyota/lexus power door lock actuators failing early in the vehicles lifetime.
The complaint is with the radio. The car was in motion on the street when it all of a sudden restarted itself. I thought nothing of it only because it has happened before except everything went back to normal and worked properly. But now after that has happened it doesn't stop doing that. It didnt even fully restart itself. It just keeps restarting to where I can't use the radio, navigation or anything not even the aux cord or USB port to play any music of some sort. I have tried parking and let it do its thing and nothing it still continues to restart.
The radio and GPS system does not work any more, the system tries to load and all of sudden stops and starts again. Apparently lots of people have the same issue.
Good afternoon, on behalf of my brother [xxx] I am submitting a faulty eco boost light fixture. The wiring is and has been off before the warranty was expired. Honestly as the concern about global emissions being revised and edited daily, smog is a concern that I am attenuated for as the growth of trees out locally is still a photosynthetic process. There are quite a few other service recalls that may be in need of addressing for this model. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 toyota corolla. While driving at unknown speeds, the steering wheel seized and the instrument panel illuminated.
