What 2020 Toyota Corolla owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The current recall on this car (passenger front seat weigh sensor issue) has been going on for too long (since 2023). Based on the recall info, i have not been able to drive with anyone sitting on the front passenger seat.
My airbag sensory notifications keeps coming on. When I start my car normally it isn’t on but once I start driving the notification will come on along with the ding noise it makes when you don’t have on a seat belt. I notice there was a recall on this issue for the later model Corolla and wanted to see if possibly this could be considered for the 2020 Corolla’s.
ocs sensor recall. the potential of this recall makes me very nervous to drive the car. they haven't tested or inspected the part until the remedy is in. no lights on dash at this time.
It’s been almost 2 years with this recall been waiting for a fix. I am feeling in safe in the vehicle, I’m driving.

I contacted my local Toyota dealership a couple months ago about air bag recall situation and they’ve told me the parts are not ready yet. Then I called just a couple days ago and they said that the wait time will be next year in 2025 about march or may and I asked the person working there if I would to get in a crash and the air bags don’t deploy what would I be able to do and they said you can sue Toyota. I just think next year by March or May is along time especially if I have my wife in the car too.
I have a recall on my vehicle which there's no remedy for it yet. My California registration was due and I wasn't able to complete my renewal until I had my recall certificate saying it was fixed. Now I'm unable to drive my vehicle in feared to be ticketed or being towed. Toyota needs to do better why am I paying for a car I can't drive. Please help!!!!!
I was in a car accident where someone hit us at a high speed from behind. Unfortunately the air bags malfunctioned resulting in my face being busted on the front dash. The car gave me a malfunction warning when they didn’t deploy
My car, a 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid, impacted an abandoned motorcycle on the dark road at full speed; however, none of the airbags deployed.
