2022 Toyota Corolla problems

Filed Nov 3, 2026 · Airbags · FL · crash · 3 injuries

On [XXX], I was involved in a motor vehicle collision involving my 2022 Toyota Corolla. My vehicle was struck from behind and pushed into another vehicle in front of me. My vehicle sustained significant damage to the front, rear, and sides. 1. What component or system failed? The airbag restraint system is the suspected component that malfunctioned. None of the airbags deployed during the collision, including the side airbags. The vehicle’s airbag control module and diagnostic system have been scanned by an independent mechanic. Diagnostic scan information may be available for inspection upon request. The vehicle and related components should be preserved for further inspection. 2. How was safety put at risk? There were three occupants in the vehicle, including myself and my two young children, ages [XXX] and [XXX]. Despite the significant collision and damage to the vehicle, none of the airbags deployed. This raised serious concerns about the safety of all occupants. We experienced injuries following the accident, and I am concerned that the failure of the airbag system may have increased the risk of injury. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed? UNKNOWN. An independent mechanic scanned the vehicle for diagnostic trouble codes. However, I do not yet have confirmation that the airbag system malfunction has been reproduced or that a specific defective component has been identified. 4. Has the vehicle been inspected? An independent mechanic has performed a diagnostic scan of the vehicle. The vehicle also sustained significant damage in the collision. UNKNOWN whether Toyota, a Toyota dealership, police, or insurance representatives have performed a specific inspection of the airbag system. 5. Were there warning lights or symptoms before the failure? UNKNOWN. I do not currently have confirmation of whether an airbag warning light or other warning message appeared before the collision. I am requesting that the federal safety agency review this incident INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT

I currently am experiencing the early stages of the failure of the SECOND fuel pump that this car has. I experienced the same symptoms/problem (hesitation and stalling) a year or two ago with the stock fuel pump. I had the Toyota dealer that I purchased the car from in January of 2022 replace the fuel pump. I thought it was just a one-off situation. Now that the second pump is failing, I did some searching and saw that there was a recall for 2013-2020 Toyota Corollas for the very same problem. I think this fuel pump failure problem is likely repeating for the 2022 Corollas too.

I bought this Toyota second hand with a little over 29k I had it less than a month when the slave cylinder failed. While in this particular Corolla the slave cylinder and brake booster share fluids. So when I lost my clutch I also lost my brakes with my toddler In the car. Toyota is aware of the faulty slave cylinders and has decided to fix them as they come vrs doing a recall. We could have died. And to top it off Toyota refused to cover it under their power terrain warranty. The car still doesn’t drive correctly even after the dealership I bought it from agree to cover the cost. This is a 2022 Toyota Corolla se Manual transmission.

I am reporting a severe safety defect regarding a failed engine coolant bypass valve on my 2022 Toyota Corolla Apex SE (VIN: [XXX], Mileage: 54,700). An authorized Toyota dealership has scanned the vehicle and confirmed active Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P268115 ("Engine Coolant Bypass Valve Circuit Open"). This mechanical and electrical failure triggers an immediate dashboard warning and creates an imminent risk of sudden engine overheating, thermal engine damage, and catastrophic loss of motive power (stalling) while traveling at highway speeds, placing myself and other motorists at risk.Toyota is fully aware of this widespread defect and issued Customer Support Program (CSP) 24TE04 to extend the warranty on older models (2019–2021) for 10 years or 100,000 miles due to high part failure rates. However, my February 2022 vehicle was factory-equipped with the exact same defective, un-superseded valve part number, yet Toyota has arbitrarily excluded my vehicle from free repair based solely on its calendar production date.Furthermore, Toyota's corporate office has denied goodwill coverage because I am a secondhand owner without previous maintenance records, despite this being a sealed electrical actuator failure completely unrelated to routine maintenance. I am a [XXX] senior citizen living on a fixed Supplemental Security Income (SSI) budget. Toyota's denial forces an elderly, low-income consumer to either navigate a hazardous, stalling-prone vehicle on public roads or lose essential transportation because an arbitrary corporate policy places a $1,045 manufacturing defect repair entirely out of financial reach. I urge the federal safety agency to audit Toyota's exclusion parameters for CSP 24TE04. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Toyota South Atlanta in Morrow, Georgia, released my vehicle after a factory warranty repair for transmission failure. However, they failed to properly complete or verify the repair. The dashboard is now throwing critical error codes stating 'A malfunction in the electronic control of the engine, throttle, or automatic transmission has been detected' and 'A malfunction in the VSC, TRAC, or hill-start assist control system has been detected.' Additionally, their own technician documented that my front brakes FAILED. They forced me to drive away without a safety waiver, and a front brake pad has since completely fallen out in front of my home . The vehicle suffers from total mechanical transmission and brake failure.
