Recent reports

“I purchased this vehicle new December 2025. 4 times now it has lost throttle control after turning in traffic. Only to after a second or two to suddenly accelerate unexpectedly at full throttle. This has been periodic for 4 months now. The dealer says they can’t replicate the incident, and they are finished investigating it. Leaving me in fear that an accident is eminent.”

“2nd incident. As I was driving on the highway, approaching an exit on my righthand side. I kept following the straight path in my lane, the lane assit of my vehicle assumed I was exiting my lane and jerked the steering wheel from my hands. My car dangerously veered into the lefthand lane.”

“The tail lights on the Toyota Corolla Cross LE 2026 are not as bright as one would think they should be. I've been informed of this by a few passerbys and other drivers. The tail lights on the Cross are very dim and there only two. Very hard to see on a late night. Been told by other Cross drivers of this issue as well, and believe Toyota should make them tighter for the evening hours.”

“on the freeway after around 10 miles a vibration starts at 70mph and up to 80mph, it gets worse, its from the rear, you can feel it in the steering, through the floor, and seat, over 80 the whole car is one constant resonating vibration, tires have been replaced and conformed ok. Toyota are not doing anything to resolve the issue, and will not drive it as I request, and will not invite me to drive along with them.”
