2014 Toyota Corolla engine problems

Filed Oct 20, 2024 · Engine · TX

The AC compressor is failing as it’s blowing hot air at idle or when the vehicle is running at 20-40mph. During Texas hot summers, baby & toddlers are at risk for extreme heat as the AC blows hot/warm air. The problem has been reproduce at an automotive AC shop where they have inspected the AC for leaks, vacuumed refrigerant and replaced refrigerant. Still same issues without any leaks. Police or insurance has not been involved. There are no dash lights when this happens and the issue happens daily which started 3 years ago. The vehicle is driven less because of the issue. There is a TSB T-SB-0086-14 that says this is covered within 36k mile warranty or 3 years. I bought the vehicle with 48K miles and about 2 years later the AC blows hot air at idle.

Vehicle stopped accelerating while on highway leading to dangerous slow down with 2 little kids in the car. Car would no longer accelerate despite engine running. Check engine light turned on. Toyota dealer ran diagnostics and found vvti actuator had internally failed. This was a very expensive replacement. I worry that a previous recall for ECM module update came too late before damage had already occured to the vvti actuator prematurely. Car is well taken care of and only 100k miles.

I was going to work, my check engine light came on as well as my track off light came on and I noticed that my engine smelled burning, it was not holding my coolant in my radiator. The dealership said I bought the car as is. I had only had the car for only 7 months. I feel like the sold a car that may have more issues.

My vehicle has been taken to the toyota dealership at least 12 times since purchased. It has already had a rear seal leak, back brakes and front brake work and rear brakes replaced. The timing chain cable was leaking oil and they replaced it. It has not ran the same since. It continues to hesitate to almost stalling out during takeoff at red lights and intersections. It's acceleration is terrible even for a 4 cylinder. We have been cooperative for the 3 years with toyota, but now that the warranty is void due to the 3 years, and not the mileage, we no longer receive such a helpful conversation with any of the managers there. The car is still under 25,000 miles, and has been a total lemon to us. We've exhausted all hopes of them fixing the real problem since they continue to claim that they couldn't find any such problem in the acceleration issues and stalling in the intersections. We will never again purchase a toyota vehicle ever again. We have purchased many toyota's in the past, which prompted us to buy another. But after this car, and poor mechanics and service management, we will refrain from another toyota, ever. If you can resolve our issue by either an equivalent exchange of another vehicle, or fix the real reason it's not running properly, and frankly never has, I would appreciate any help that can be given on my behalf.
