2018 Toyota COROLLA - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

"my brother was driving his car and it was involved in a hard right front impact yesterday after a young girl pulled out in front of him. none of the airbags went off, severe front end damage on the right side to the fender, wheel, axle, radiator, hood, oil pan, and other front end components.the right front wheel is completely bent and the right front tire blew out. front right headlight completely missing. incident happened going approximately 30-40 mph. thankfully he’s okay, but the car is most likely totaled. the steering wheel airbag did not deploy and the right curtain airbag did not deploy. my brother could have gotten killed. thankfully he’s only complaining about leg pain and chest pain, but the steering wheel airbag would’ve mitigated his injuries. a few years ago, he got sideswiped very hard on the left side and the vehicle needed 2 new doors and a rear bumper. the left side curtain airbags did not deploy in this scenario either. i’m very disappointed in toyota that they built a death trap such as the 2018 corolla."

"the contact owned a 2018 toyota corolla. the contact stated that while driving at 60 mph in inclement weather, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle and she lost control of the vehicle. the vehicle crashed into the median and was spinning before another vehicle crashed into the contact's front end. the air bags were not deployed upon impact. the contact suffered soreness in her arms, legs, and back; however, no medical attention was received. a police report was not filed. the vehicle was towed to an auto collision center and deemed totaled by the insurance company. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. the failure mileage was 100,555."

"my daughter was in an accident on 2/28/2022 at 20 plus miles and hour. it was a front end collision where the air bags did not deploy."

"safety recall work on the airbags/seat belts was performed at city toyota, daly city on 6-16-20. on 9-9-20 i was heading home from the bank, did not feel well, lost control of the car and ran over a road divider island curb at the intersection of lake merced blvd. and skyline blvd., s.f. at around 5 pm. the front air bags did not deploy when i think they should have is what i am reporting here. everything from the hood down was ripped off the car, namely, the head lights, grill, toyota emblem, bumper, radiator, and part of the ac system. i was the only person in the car, had my seat belt on, and was not injured, and luckily did not hit any people or another vehicle. a lady who witnessed the accident called an ambulance (king-american ambulance co.), s.f. police and a tow truck. aaa automobile insurance company initially declared the car a total loss (claim #[xxx]) and then over a month later on 10-15-20 they e-mail saying the car had been deemed repairable after all. now, the car is being towed to pierre's auto body, 1349 ninth avenue, san francisco ca 94122, tel. (415) 564-0900 and the repair work is scheduled to begin on this friday morning 10-23-20. the owner of the shops name is [xxx], and the estimate is a whopping $8,473.45 dollars. if this report is reviewed soon enough, i think the vehicle should be inspected by your agency before repairs begin and tell me what you think? the aaa insurance claim adjusters name is [xxx] and can be reached at [xxx]. thank you for looking into this situation. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr"

"air bags didn't deploy when a man ran a stop sign and hit the front drivers finder and driver door and then the front of the car hit brick wall and a chain fence"

"tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2018 toyota corolla. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 20v024000 (air bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. the contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. charles maund toyota (8400 research blvd, austin, tx 78758), confirmed that parts were not available to perform the recall repairs. the manufacturer was notified of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. vin tool confirms parts not available."

"i am not satisfied with that, after all i have had my car for 2 years and now you notice that there is an error in the airbag? this is serious and people still died, and even though i have to wait for a solution to fix it? i use my car every day to work and i'm at risk every day. how is the risk i have taken for these past two years? you should indemnify the customer and not simply send a letter that is seeking a solution. on the day i bought it i bought a car thinking it was in perfect condition and then i received a notification that there is a risk, which can be serious to my life and that of my passengers, family or friends. total neglect."

"i received an email regarding the recall concerning the airbag. i took it in for oil change on 2/26/202 and asked regarding this matter and they stated they do not have the part available and will call me when its available."

"i was involved in an accident where the other driver hit my car on the front left side, close to my door and the airbags did not go off. i don't know if there's any other sensors in the back but i was bit in the back after as well and the airbags still did not go off. i was driving 30mph on a city street."

"i had an accident and the airbags do not deployed, i asked at kendall toyota collision center to review what is the possible cause, they do not response yet."
