2024 Toyota Corolla problems
The Toyota Corolla (Japanese: トヨタ・カローラ, Hepburn: Toyota Karōra) is a series of compact cars (formerly subcompact) manufactured and marketed globally by the Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corporation. Introduced in 1966, the Corolla was the best-selling car worldwide by 1974 and has been one of the best-selling cars in the world since then. In 1997, the Corolla became the best-selling nameplate in the world, surpassing the Volkswagen Beetle. Toyota reached the milestone of 50 million Corollas sold over twelve generations in 2021.
The name Corolla is part of Toyota's naming tradition of using names derived from the Toyota Crown for sedans, with "corolla" Latin for "small crown". The Corolla has always been exclusive in Japan to Toyota Corolla Store locations, and manufactured in Japan with a twin, called the Toyota Sprinter until 2000. From 2006 to 2018 in Japan and much of the world, and from 2018 to 2020 in Taiwan, the hatchback companion had been called the Toyota Auris.
Early models were mostly rear-wheel drive, while later models have been front-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive versions have also been produced, and it has undergone several major redesigns. The Corolla's traditional competitors have been the Nissan Sunny, introduced the same year as the Corolla in Japan and the later Nissan Sentra, Nissan Sylphy, Honda Civic and Mitsubishi Lancer. The Corolla's chassis designation code is "E", as described in Toyota's chassis and engine codes.

Common 2024 Toyota Corolla problems
The 2024 Toyota Corolla is a popular compact car, but it has some common problems that owners have reported. One of these issues is the lack of passenger room and legroom in the second row, particularly in the hatchback version. This can make the Corolla less suitable for families or anyone who needs to transport multiple passengers over long distances.
Another issue that has been reported is the noisy engine, particularly in certain trims such as the SE. This can be a problem for drivers who value a quiet and comfortable ride, especially on long trips.
In addition to these issues, some Corolla owners have reported problems with the car's fuel system, including issues with dirty fuel filters, faulty spark plugs, blocked catalytic converters, and damaged fuel pumps. These issues can affect the car's performance and fuel efficiency, and may require costly repairs.
Despite these issues, the 2024 Toyota Corolla is expected to be more reliable than the average new car, based on data from previous model years.
Overall, while the 2024 Toyota Corolla has some common problems, it is still a reliable and popular compact car that offers good fuel efficiency and a comfortable ride. However, potential buyers should be aware of these issues and consider them when making their purchasing decision.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-27
- Number Of Injuries: 1
- Crash: 1
- VIN: JTDP4MCE2R3
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: The contact owned a 2024 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle was struck on the passenger side of the vehicle by another vehicle. In addition, the contact stated that the air bags did not deploy. No warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The vehicle was diagnosed by a Toyota service specialist however no failures were identified. The vehicle was deemed a total loss. A police report was filed. The contact sustained soreness on the entire body and right toe that required medical attention. The contact stated that 4 other passengers were in the vehicle at the moment of impact. The contact stated that it was unknown if the passenger sought medical attention. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 14,831.
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-30
- VIN: JTDB4MEE1R3
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: This is an issue I have noticed with my car shortly after I bought it. The problem is that the car has a noticable delay in acceleration when accelerating from a complete stop. After doing some research online, I found that the cause was the car's CVT transmission, and that a delay in acceleration happens with other cars with CVT transmissions as well. This could be potentially dangerous especially when making right turns on a red light or when making unprotected lefts on a green, as the window of opportunity to go is sometimes short in those situations, and delaying for even a second could mean the difference between a collision or a safe turn (especially since there are some fast drivers that go much past the speed limit and will appear from behind a hill all of a sudden). What is especially problematic is that the car will rarely accelerate normally when I press the pedal, but I would say around 80-90% of the time, the car will have a delay about 1 second before it actually starts moving. To my knowledge, this problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. I bought the car brand-new about half a year ago so it shouldn't have any problems. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone, and there were no warning lights or any other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. I didn't really notice that this car had this problem when I first drove it home from the dealership because I was not used to so many other aspects of the car, but after I got more used to driving it, I realized that the delay in acceleration wasn't normal.
LANE DEPARTURE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-15
- VIN: JTNC4MBE7R3
- Components: LANE DEPARTURE
- Summary: Ever since my vehicle was new, the driver side blind spot monitor will periodically not work. This issue occurs primarily when starting the vehicle using the Toyota app, but also will have the issue when starting the vehicle normally. When all conditions are met, the driver side blind spot monitor will fail to illuminate during an entire trip unless the driver either: turns the vehicle off and back on, or: goes into the vehicle settings while driving and turns the blind spot monitor off and then on again. Upon doing either of these things, the driver side blind spot will resume normal operation. The issue has been confirmed by a Toyota dealership and is on file for my vehicle, and I also have video footage of the issue. While the dealership was able to witness the issue, the vehicle produces no codes and so the Toyota engineer advised it was a condition issue and not a vehicle issue. But this issue has been happening to me randomly since I got the car, and all of the facts point to this NOT being a condition issue. There are also SEVERAL other complaints on Toyota and Lexus forums for this exact same issue for varying models such as the Corolla Cross. This is a safety risk and can increase the possibility of a crash. While blind spot monitoring is intended to be an aid and should not be solely relied upon, inevitably there are drivers who will rely on that blind spot monitoring, not know it's broken, and potentially get into a collision due to the system leading them to believe the coast is clear, when it indeed is not. The first time I noticed it, which was within one week of owning the car back in January 2024, I was trying to get over to the left, saw that the blind spot was not illuminated, and almost made the turn except I checked manually first and saw there was a vehicle in my blind spot that the car did not pick up on. The fact that all it takes it turning the car off and on again leads me to believe this is a safety defect that needs addressed.
POWER TRAIN,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-22
- VIN: 5YFS4MCE2RP
- Components: POWER TRAIN,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Brand new car with 300 miles jerks and jolts leaving from a stop and hesitates going up hill. Feels like car has no power behind it. Forward collision also breaks randomly. Currently at dealership.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-11
- VIN: 5YFS4MCE0RP
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE
- Summary: Morning of 08/11/2024, started car and put in Sport mode. Drove under 20 mph for 3 blocks to leave neighborhood. Got to main street intersection and waited for an opening, then pressed the gas and nothing happened except the check engine light came on and dash message of Ignition On, but car was not operating. Pushed ignition button and it came on and dash cleared. Has not happened again and dealership could not replicate and no codes saved.
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-03
- VIN: 5YFB4MDE9RP
- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: See attached document for complaint
SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-10
- VIN: JTDB4MEE1R3
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: The system that is problematic for this vehicle is the Pre Collision System (PCS). This system is way too sensitive even on the lowest sensitivity setting, and I have experienced the car braking in error on multiple occasions when driving up or down a windy road. When I approach a bend in the road and there is a car parked on the side of the street, my Corolla will think that I am about to collide with the parked vehicle and make a loud beeping noise and automatically hit the brakes. This has frightened me on a number of occasions, and I am concerned that one day the car will brake in error while there is another vehicle behind me, resulting in a read-end collision. The only consistent method of avoiding this is to drive past the median in the road when approaching bends, which I very much dislike doing, as driving in the middle of the road has its own obvious risks. I have tried contacting the dealership about this, and was told to contact the service department. The service department was no help, saying that they aren't able to do anything about it and that I could try lowering the sensitivity of the PCS, which I had already done. This wouldn't be such a huge issue if there was a way to permanently turn it off. The process for turning it off takes about a minute, as it requires navigating a menu and finding the PCS option to turn off. Unfortunately, the PCS automatically reactivates every time the car is turned off and on again, and even if I use the shortcut method of holding the lane assist button for several seconds to disable the PCS, the car's screen will constantly flash, telling me that the PCS is turned off and annoying the driver to turn it back on. I know that Toyota does not have this issue with their PCS systems on their other vehicles, as I have driven a 2019 Camry before and the PCS system never went off when I drove on the same road, which led me to believe that the system on this 2024 Corolla is somehow defective.
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-01
- VIN: JTDS4MCE4R3
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: Transmission slips from 20-40 mph randomly.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-21
- VIN: 5YFT4MCE3RP
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I was accelerating on an on-ramp to merge with traffic on a freeway, and my corolla’s engine shut itself off. All the electronics stayed on and flashed the messages ‘Parking brake malfunction’ and something along the lines of ‘Secondary collision brake system malfunction’. I was stuck coasting in traffic and could not start the engine in neutral. I had to make the car come to a complete stop on the freeway in a lane with no shoulder, put it in park, turn it off, and then back on again. All messages and lights disappeared. I took it to a toyota dealership the next day and they couldn’t find anything. They told me they don’t know what caused it and sent me on my way.
STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-13
- VIN: 5YFS4MCE5RP
- Components: STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE
- Summary: My vehicle stalled when pulling out into traffic. I lost power steering and electrical and the engine died. The vehicle had to be restarted to continue driving. I was going about 1 to 2 mph when the issue happened. The vehicle was in motion and stalled while other vehicles were in motion putting my safety at risk, had I been going any faster or if there was an increased amount of traffic. I reported the problem to the dealer service center, but they were unable to reproduce it. The vehicle was inspected by Toyota only, no police or insurance. When the issue happened, a warning light appeared on the dash similar to a circle with an exclamation mark inside. There were no messages and no other symptoms prior to the failure.
POWER TRAIN,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-26
- VIN: 5YFB4MDE6RP
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE
- Summary: The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds and decelerating, the vehicle was jerking abnormally. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made of the failure and a case was filed; however, the contact had not received any communication from the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 27,000.
STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-03-30
- VIN: 5YFB4MDE3RP
- Components: STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Steering—car seems to slip when driving at 30mph and taking a curve. Very brief. Traveling at 70mph car shakes.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-01
- VIN: JTND4MBE1R3
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: Experiencing a high-pitched whining/ringing sound from the air conditioning system. It is highly distracting and irritating, and basically prevents the use of some fan speed settings for extended durations due to the pain it causes. Many other Corolla owners are experiencing the same issue and Toyota refuses to take action in every case, saying the problem is "characteristic of the vehicle" or something to that effect. Issue is well-documented in this forum thread among other places. [XXX] See in particular post [XXX] for objective evidence of the sound and a probable root cause analysis. A particular chip resonates at about 15.7 kHz. I encourage you to put that frequency into an online tone generator to get an idea of the problem, although for some people, especially those who are older, sounds this high are inaudible like a dog whistle.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-09
- VIN: JTDBCMFE4R3
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: My 2024 Carola Hybrid Headlights create blind spot in front of the car at night at 50meters to 100m by Toyota engineer design (there is a corner designed into the line of sight of the headlight). Toyota customer care and the dealer maintenance manager is saying the design is safety tested and approved. It needs to be retested at night!!! This is a clear design defect. It is especially dangerous curving left & making left turns on two way back roads and highways. Have to turn on brights to see but that creates risk to other drivers.
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-01-20
- VIN: JTDBCMFE7R3
- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is unstable in detecting the front car, not only in light rainy conditions but also in heavy rainy conditions. The ACC fails to detect sedans and small SUVs but can detect larger vehicles such as pickup trucks and full-size SUVs. The car does not provide any warning sound or signal to the driver when failing to detect. This poses a significant safety risk as the driver may not be aware that the system selectively detects the front car in both light and heavy rainy conditions. The driver had barely avoided the accident.
STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-11-29
- Crash: 1
- VIN: JTDBCMFE1R3
- Components: STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: On 11/29/23 after 11:30pm, I was in the process of clearing an exit and at the tail end of the exit it felt like the car was "correcting" itself and I was unable to stay turning right. The steering wheel felt locked and I was unable to control the car. The car impacted the guardrail and I was able to regain control after the initial impact. -This is a BRAND NEW car with less than 100 miles at the time of the accident. - Prior to the collision, there were no warning signals from the dashboard. - I was not injured from the accident as I was only able to go around 27-33mph due to a tractor trailor clearing the exit in front of me. No others were involved. - The manufacturer sent an inspector to look at the vehicle and test drive it. However, they did not test drive in the same conditions I was in or at. - The issue was not reproduced by another party. (Photos were taken the next day)
EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-10-20
- VIN: 5YFT4MCE8RP
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speeds at night, the left lane was blocked out by the headlights. There was a huge shadow obstructing the driver’s view. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to determine there was a failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was designed that way, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 3.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-10-29
- VIN: 5YFS4MCE3RP
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: 2024 Toyota Corolla SE Low beam headlights have shadows on the driver's side that hang down and obstruct the roadway especially on curves. This is very hazardous and only remedy is to switch to high beams. This issue causes me to either not be able to see the roadway adequately or blind oncoming traffic with high beams. This is an issue on my 2023 as well. Toyota has stated it is normal and as designed. I disagree. Not being able to adequately see the road with low beams is not normal. The problem is better or worse depending on orientation of the road. Shadows on Curves are much worse.

I rented the 2023 Corolla SE from Toyota Knoxville while my Highlander was in for service. I wanted to share my experience with everyone and let you know that Toyota builds great cars with safety as their top priority. The SE was a pleasure to drive around town and on back roads, with comfortable front seats. Once you become a Toyota owner, you'll understand why their outstanding reliability keeps customers coming back. In my opinion, Toyota truly cares about their customers and provides incredible safety, comfort, and reliability. That's why I love what Toyota does for our citizens!

Great small car. Great on gas. It's a bit smaller than what I'm used to though.

Peyton Cole 2024-06-21
The excessively tilted forward headrest on the driver's seat caused me neck, shoulder, and upper back pain even after just 15 minutes of driving.
Reilly Lynch 2024-04-07
I purchased a 2022 Toyota Corolla and noticed a gap underneath the passenger headlight and bumper after 3 months of use. I promptly took it back to the dealer, who then took it to the body shop for adjustment. Although the car was returned to me 2 days later, there was still a small gap present. Despite being informed that this was the best that could be done and that it was a result of Toyota's manufacturing process, I am considering trading it in.
