I am reporting a severe, recurring safety hazard on my 2020 Toyota Corolla. The vehicle suddenly displays 'Drive-Start Control Malfunction' and completely cuts off engine power in motion, leaving the car stranded in active traffic. This happened after accelerating from a STOP sign on a main avenue. This is an inherent manufacturing defect present since delivery. In total, this chronic electrical surge has burned through 6 batteries and 3 Engine Control Modules (ECMs) at different mileages. Within the first weeks of purchase, it burned its first battery, which was replaced at Toyota and documented under the VIN history. Dealer staff deceptively called it 'normal,' leading me to replace subse

No warnings at all, I regularly get my car serviced on there were no instances of the cl

I have contacted Toyota directly to report the issue and request assistance with the repair, but Toyota is currently declining to cover the repair. I am proceeding with having the vehicle repaired independently because I need the door loc
My Engine Maintenance light came on around 59,400 miles for my Coolest Control valve !! Needed it to be replaced! Light wonât go off just had it serviced for an oil change before this started!!
