    I went to your service location in Riga Latvia. My car had an issue with the gearbox, it is a 2012 Toyota Corolla 1.4 diesel engine. The car had issues with the slipping of the clutch on the third gear. However, after the diagnosis the car started to have problem even with the first gear. The service attendance told me to leave the car at the wess motors for further repair because they considered it risky to drive with it. However I had been driving with that same car all day from 9:00 to 2:00 and I didn't have any problems except for the problems in the third gear. The irony is that they told me that there is a need to change the clutch in the gearbox and that there is also a need to change the computer for the gearbox.

    My question is to Toyota, we trust you we buy you and we think that you are durable and you are responsible, if at 180,000 km the computer of the gearbox has stopped working then what kind of quality that you are producing of your cars? This is entirely the fault of the manufacturer if at 180,000 km, we have to pay $3,500 to the Toyota service to replace the clutch of the gearbox and to replace the computer that controls the gearbox, then God help us. This doesn't happen with European manufacturers, because they know how to make automatic gearboxes. The Asians including the South Koreans they cannot make automatic gearboxes. Just always choose European cars if you want automatic gearboxes, in my 40 years of experience I said Toyota is a failed car and it's extremely overrated cars never buy it, if you want manual gearbox then it's good. For automatic never buy Toyota

    Rented a new 2025 Toyota Corolla, had multiple issues with the driver assist. When trying to avoid an object in roadway/hwy/interstate the car would turn steering wheel back and cause the car to run over the object I was trying to avoid. The car would brake and basically make judgements that it should not be doing. Ran over multiple things. One turtle, a piece of blown out tire, etc.

      We bought a Toyota Corolla for our retirement, thinking reliability and low maintenance cost. Surprise!!! Cost to replace headlight = $1753.06. Light bulb replacement is like a down payment on a new car!!!

      My 2016 Toyota Corolla LE CVT Tranmission called it quits at 110,000 miles. Still a new car. So disappointed because I love Toyota. They have a long standing for reliability. Long road trips were a struggle because my back would hurt sitting long periods of time.

      I bought a 2014 white Corolla. In 2020 I got a recall white and pearlized cars had a bad paint job. I took it to a Toyota collision shop and only repaired the small section one side where paint was falling off. Now in 2024 I had a tortilla size peel on my roof. I wrote headquarters and they refuse to paint the roof. Said the recall warranty is over and it is up to me to pay. Why didn't Toyota just paint the whole car. It is upsetting and embarrassing having the paint start falling off. Beware of a white car. I regret buying that color. I expected it to last me. Toyota does not stand by their word they will take care of you. I am one to tell you it will cost a lot to paint my car and have to drive with a lousy job done by Toyota.

      I am having a problem getting the $1,000 rebate I was promised when I purchased my Toyota Corolla. I emailed the corporate offices with my complaint and also sent them a letter of complaint through US mail. Not only have I not received my $1,000 rebate, but my complaint has been ignored with no response. Great car, but lousy service!

      I traded my 2021 Corolla LE (60,000 miles) for a 2023 LE. I have about 2000 miles on the 2023 now. Some things I've noticed so far. Road noise is much louder than my 2021. Almost sounds as if a window is not fully closed however they are closed. The 2.0 engine has significantly better acceleration although It does seem to stutter, jerk or hesitate intermittently at lower speeds (Not sure if there is an issue or just the way the CVT operates.) Don't remember this issue on my 2021 LE with smaller engine and I put 60,000 miles on it.

      The car handles well however it seems I can feel every bump in the road (reminds me of my 2018 Nissan Versa). I just took a 7 hour trip in 2023 and felt pretty beat up at the end of the day from the road. Again don't remember the 2021 being so bumpy. I've taken the same trip on the same road several times in the 2021 and it was not nearly as bumpy. Another thing I've noticed is the metal seems to be thinner imo than 2021 especially the roof. If you tap lightly on the roof it sounds hollow. My son still has a 2021 LE and it sounds and feels different. Not sure what the difference is.... ?

      Driving: The seats feel more comfortable in the 2023 and the interior is comparable to my 2021. Jury is still out on the cruise control. Several concerning characteristics. The buying experience was typical. Had to haggle a little to get fair price for my 2021 and rest was typical of most dealerships. I will update this review as I gain more experience with my 2023. Other than the engine (which is loud) but more powerful, IMO I don't really see or feel many improvements. Maybe that was by design to keep the car at its price point? Idk... The only significant improvement I can think of so far is the air conditioner is much better in the 2023! Really cold and I often have had to turn it down on hot days. The 2021 AC was terrible and underpowered IMO.

      I will never buy another Toyota again. This review isn't necessarily a reflection of the dealership, but with Toyota itself. I purchased the 2022 toyota corolla cross in Dec from the Fairfax location. I was very happy with the car until about 5 months later when one of the blue-tooth functions just stopped working. I can use my carplay for music & for the navigation, I can use the bluetooth for receiving & sending text messages & I can use the bluetooth to make calls, however, all of a sudden when I am on the phone & I use the touch screen or the button on the wheel the phone call will not disconnect. I have to go into my phone & turn off the bluetooth for it to disconnect the call. I paired my son's phone & it also does not work. I went to Chantilly location to see about this issue & they tried for 3 hours to update the software.

      Even after all that they said it still did not work. I was told from the service dept they would have to put in a ticket w/ toyota for a fix. I called Toyota several times to report this issue. Every time I was told, "We are working on it." I am now told that they can't & will not fix this issue. They said that it has to be a problem with my phone. They want me to uninstall all of my apps, texts & pic to see if that is the issue. Toyota COULD CARE LESS about this problem. I am going to sell this POS & buy another car somewhere else.

      I purchased a 2021 Toyota Corolla, who would have thought to test drive it at night. The driver side headlight while on dim there is a blind spot. Before you sign on the dotted line test drive at night!

      I used to love Toyotas. Reasonably priced and very reliable. I bought my first Toyota in 1985. Had several since and never had an issue. Always loved the brand. Fast forward to 2022. Do they still make good cars? No, Toyota doesn't make good cars anymore. Worse, they don't stand behind their product. I bought a 2022 Corolla Hatchback in November 2021 from Bell Road Toyota in Phoenix. The car had 3000 miles because it was returned by the previous owner but sold as new. They said, "Don't worry, you are covered by Toyota warranty for 3 years 36,000 miles."

      In June 2022, I notice a pipe hanging down scraping the ground in the right front. Turns out to be the sway bar which broke off on the inside of the bushing. No accidents, no crashes, not hitting anything. Toyota is refusing to honor the warranty. They say the bar couldn't have broken without outside force. No dents in the bar, just poor-quality parts. I called Toyota headquarters to complain. They stand behind the dealer and refuse to fix the car. I will never buy a Toyota again.
