What owners wrote
On March 12, 2025, I was involved in a frontal collision when another vehicle unexpectedly pulled out in front of me. Impact occurred to the front-left area of my vehicle. Despite the nature of the collision, the front airbags did not deploy. The vehicle is subject to Safety Recall 20TA03, which addresses incomplete or non-deployment of airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners due to ECU susceptibility to electrical noise in certain crash scenarios.
Driver and passenger side locks get stuck when using the beeper or the door buttons, trying to lock or unlock them. I thought it was the beeper but it doesn't even lock/unlock using the doors buttons. I already know toyota corolla owners who have the lock stuck problem, so this is not only my car, but there's more cars with the same problem.
