My car shows that the vehicle needed to be serviced, in checking the Toyota app I saw there was a warning for the adaptive lighting system/electrical concern. The warning light had been on for some time, thinking I was due for regular maintenance like an oil change I had ignored it for a bit. Everytime I would start the car this warning would appear. I too the car in for service, they also did a 20k maintenance service and kept the car overnight overnight as they were unable to locate the issue same day. The following day I was advised they couldn't determine the issue and they cleared the code.
I was going to park my car in an empty parking spot, was just in idle speed putting the car into the parking space when all of it sudden the car started accelerating by itself. Because of the acceleration my car hit the car that was park in front of me, the acceleration was so sudden and it pick up enough speed and force to move the park car three to five inches from its resting point. That is how the accident happen. Also the airbags did not open when my car hit the other car.

Headlight is one assembly and cost so much to replace that's why when the bulbs gets burnt out owners will just wait until the other one gets burnt also because it is too expensive to replace the whole assembly not like other cars that you can replace the bulbs for less than $5. 00 but with this car it is like $250 to replace a burnt headlight. People who drive this Corolla's are taking their risk specially at night driving without sufficient lights because it is too expensive to replace. Please check on this, thanks.
The radio/display is in a never-ending updating loop and the screen becomes very bright at the start of the update loop. In which cause temporary blindness at night while driving.
Help.
Drive side headlight casts shadow making it hard to drive at night. The shadow is only on driver side. Dealer has tried to adjust with no success. It's a design flaw.
The regular headlight beams do not light up the road. They light half of the road. The road in front of the driver is completely dim. The only way to more than a car length in front of the car is to activate the high beams. Even then you are limited on how much light the headlights put on the road. I am blinded by oncoming cars. I cannot see deer when they jump out from the side of the road. I cannot read address signs that are basically reflective and in front of the car on the road unless I drive directly upon them and shine the high beams.
Braking sensor/skid light comes on at random, then occasionally the engine starts braking in traffic, and sometimes threatens to quit, needing to pull off of highway and keep restarting car until I get a smooth sound. (1st time light came on, I skidded on a small patch of ice, the alarm went off, the light came on, and I couldn't figure out what was going on, sure didn't need to warn me I went for a skid, already knew that, didn't like being scared to death by the noise).
