Power Train · reported Aug 5, 2026
Clutch failure at early miles on multiple cars, there's even blogs about it. They don't want to cover, but it doesn't have the durability of a normal clutch.
Engine · reported Nov 30, 2025
Drove car at reasonable low speeds (30-40mph) parked vehicle and noticed smell of something burning and light smoke. Opened hood and car was on fire. No mods, completely stock, low mileage. All services up to date. No reasonable explanation for sudden fire
Wheels · reported Oct 31, 2025
Both front tires on my 2023 Toyota GR Corolla have developed severe inner-edge wear down to the cords, while the rest of the tread remains in excellent condition. This occurred at approximately 14,000 miles. The wear pattern is symmetrical and isolated to the inner inch of both front tires, indicating that it is not the result of normal driving, impact, or neglect, but rather points to a factory alignment or suspension geometry defect. I discovered the issue during a routine inspection and immediately stopped driving the vehicle for safety reasons. Tire wear exposing the cords poses a high…

The clutch in the '23 GR Corollas is not sufficient enough for the vehicle. Even Toyota knows this as they updated the clutch not only from 23 to 24 but also from 24 to 25. I have a little over 20k miles on mine, and the clutch is so far gone that the car is not driveable. I have heard of a large handful of clutch warranties and have confirmed 7 of them. I took my car to the dealer and they want me to approve ≈$1800 of service to determine if the clutch is warrantable, but advised that if the Toyota Rep decides its not covered, I'm on the hook for the labor. This has been a well documented…
Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Jan 7, 2025
I am writing to file a complaint regarding my 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Circuit Edition. The issue pertains to the ECU programming, which was not properly calibrated for the wheels that came with this model. Instead, the weight and dimensions from the Morizo Edition were utilized. This discrepancy causes the vehicle to inaccurately register speed, which is a significant safety concern. The malfunctioning component is the ECU, and it is available for inspection upon request. The inaccurate speedometer readings put my safety and the safety of others at risk by potentially causing unintentional…
