Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I bought a 2014 corolla on 03.04.2020 and, I have discovered at night (especially) all I get is a glare due to the number of defogger lines on the rear windshield. I cannot see any vehicles behind me at all. All I see is a glare of lights, I have no idea how far or near the vehicles behind me are.
Intense glare on front windshield resulting in zero visibility. This happened twice. Other uncomfortable visibility issues in direct sunlight happening at least a half dozen times. Happened when car was in motion or just starting to move on city streets.
Very weak windshield easily get scratch chips windshield should be protected and strong this is my 2nd car from toyota I never have problem in my first toyota but this 2nd car toyota corolla liitle scary
Moisture and mold inside car for no reason. The car has seen no spillage and no opened windows during rain yet the interior is always fogged up since the week it was purchased and the car traps moisture and causes mold in the vents on the floor inside the doorway.

My windshield wipers work on the low functions but have not worked on the fast speed for as long as I have had my vehicle. I have contacted toyota and they stated my vehicle was not affected by the recall for the short in the windshield wiper switch. This causes a visibility issue when driving in rain. The wipers stop completely when switching from slow to fast speed so I can only use the low speeds which does not help much during storms.
Several times I came too close to hitting a car on my right side that I could barely see because of the way the car is made. The back half of the car's roof is held up by two "posts" (I don't know their real name). These are wide enough that they block a lot of my vision when I am trying to decide if it is safe to change into the lane on my right. When this is combined with the right, rear headrest, it is very difficult to see a car if he is in that huge blindspot. This design is very dangerous.
