2017 Toyota Corolla driver assistance problems

Filed Jul 23, 2026 · Driver assistance, Engine · TX

While driving in the middle of active traffic, the vehicle experienced a sudden and dangerous loss of motive power. The first indication of a problem was the A/C abruptly blowing hot air. Immediately following this, the vehicle began violently shaking before the engine stalled completely. The low oil pressure warning light was triggered on the dashboard. Losing all acceleration in the middle of active traffic created an immediate, severe crash hazard. The engine failure occurred after a franchised dealer service department failed. They had said at the dealership that my oil was fine. They didn’t even check it.

When the cruise control is set and I go down hill my car increases the speed by 8 mph faster than the set speed. My car also makes a loud grinding noise when it does this. I spoke with different Toyota auto employees and some say that the increase in speed and noise are normal and others say the opposite. I have been in many cars driving with cruise control on and never experienced this.

I was traveling on the interstate home from work one night, I was kinda tired, I put on my turning signal to let the person behind me know I was getting in the right lane know when all of a sudden a car sped by, the blind spot warnings didn’t come on at all, as a matter of fact I only saw them appear only twice since I had this car and they haven’t been on since and I’ve had this car for a week and two days, that’s an accident waiting to happen.

I had to drive around 600 miles to and from family funeral. As others have reported the cruise control on a down hill slope goes out of control. As I reached the top of a hill and started down the cruise control would accelerate to 4000 RPM ( it is really loud) the speed would start increasing and go 15-20 MPH over what the cruise control speed was set at. I had to turn off the cruise control to regain control over the speed. I was afraid that something might happen if I did not. Where it seemed my car should down shift it was not. Something is wrong with the programming of the cruise control. This should not happen on a decline. Also, at one point when I was in the left lane and a car passed me on the right, my car slowed down really quickly. If someone had been behind me it could have caused a serious accident. This is my fourth toyota and I have never had these problems before.

I had a car accident on january 15, 2021. My car was totaled and none of my air bags deployed. My emergency brake sensor didn't go off as well which usually always goes of for any minimal close object. Because of my air bag not deploying I cut my lip outside and inside going to the hospital and getting a stitch in the inside of my lip. I had a hole the width of a dime from hitting the steering wheel and bled non stop from my nose and lip/mouth. The hospital has in my chart the picture of the hole.

Lane departure alert & pre collision system malfunction warning light keep illuminating on the dashboard for a certain amount of time and then will turn off again without warning. This is also affecting the cruise control and the ABS system. I noticed that it affects what seems to be the transmission when I am coming to a stop the car will shake uncontrollably and act like it is out of gear. Almost like it is possessed. It's been doing it on and off since I bought the car and I have taken it to the dealership multiple times and they will fix it temporarily and then several months later it always comes back. This past time has been the worst as it seems like there are multiple electrical components that are being affected and it is actually affecting the steering as well as the breaking and efficient running of the vehicle .
