The car was in stationary mode on a city street and waiting for the red light to turn green. After a few minutes, the turned green and I accelerated a little as the car begin to move but out of nowhere the car turned off and all systems stopped, including the computer board, but before all went blank there was a message about system error with a triangle symbol, and I had to manually activate the parking lever as well as press the brakes. Thankfully everyone in their lanes noticed my odyssey and made space for the other upcoming cars as I activated the emergency flashing lights. However, I turned the car fully off by turning the key and waited some minutes as I was adjusting to the situation. I then turned the car on again and worked. A few days after the incident, I took the car to the dealership and the staff member who assisted me said that the system's record showed that there as an error history but did not say which component part or where the malfunction was located that caused the car's safety risk in regards to the computer system and engine to stop without any notice. This response to what happened was not satisfactory to me because nothing was done and no paperwork or record was given to me about the system check or report. This incident and unknown response to the malfunction cause have made me worry about this happening again in the future under other unsafe circumstances and that it could cause me to have an accident.
My car was driving fine for months, then out of nowhere it had a funny smell inside so I pulled over and parked it. When I tried to start it up again I drove 1 minute down the street and shut off. I was told that my engine locked up by toyota, but it was not their fault or mines. But that I have to pay to fix it. The car is 2018 less than 25,000 miles.

The 2018 toyota corolla cruise control is dangerous. When cruise control is on, going down a slight hill, the transmission downshifts but throttle does not reduce causing car to increase speed 10-15 MPH with high rpms. At bottom of incline transmission goes to higher gear and brakes are applied very hard causing vehicle to suddenly and violently slowdown 15-20 MPH. In this situation if cruise control is not disengaged the car will go well over the speed limit and to an unsafe speed for the roadway. The braking action is so sudden and violent it's difficult to control the vehicle and has several times in a couple of months caused me to very nearly get rear ended by a vehicle behind me which was not originally following too close. As the dangerous cruise control starts its increase in speed the vehicles behind may increase their speed and as they are increasing speed my car cruise control system jams on the brakes and cause the following car to come dangerously close to collision. As well the other driver has on at least one occasions became angry started road raging thinking I had purposely brake checked. The 2018 toyota corolla cruise control is dangerous, could certainly be deadly based on my experience and further is virtually unusable as a purchased feature on anything but a flat road. I've driven over 20 cars in my life and am very experienced with cruise controls in 6 different manufacturers cars. The cruise control on my 2018 toyota corolla could cause injury, lawsuit, road rage with personal injury or death. I've already had it to the dealer twice and am taking it back this week.
The RPM of the car jumps upto 4000 when attempting to slow the car on down hills. Toyota dealerships are refusing to acknowledge the issue but there are cases many people got their car fixed or exchanged. This proves the issue when using cruise control. The ideal intent of using the cruise control is to save gas mileage and effort to drive the car for long distances. I have to travel long distances to work on daily basis. I feel very uncomfortable and unsafe driving the car on cruise. Toyota should acknowledge the problem to save the trust of the customers. This happens consistently. I am trying to contact toyota for the issue. I hope to receive a positive response.
