2022 Toyota Corolla Cross AWD – repeat direct fuel injector failure within 14 months / 15,500 miles. 1) Aug 22, 2025 (29,990 mi): Cylinder 4 direct injector failed. Toyota dealer replaced it under warranty and rebuilt the other three injectors. 2) Aug 26, 2025: Strong fuel smell inside the cabin, traced to injector gaskets. All four gaskets were replaced. 3) Oct 17, 2026 (45,500 mi): Cylinder 1 injector, one of the three rebuilt in Aug 2025, failed while driving. Dealer diagnosed a leaking injector causing misfire and cylinder flooding. The engine went into Reduced Engine Power mode, and the dash showed multiple warnings at once: Pre-Collision System Malfunction, Secondary Collision Brake System Malfunction, LTA Unavailable, AWD System Malfunction, Parking Brake Malfunction and Drive-Start Control Malfunction. Safety concerns: sudden loss of engine power while driving; key driver-assistance and collision-avoidance systems disabled at the same time; fuel odor in the cabin from a leaking injector seal. The dealer expects the remaining two rebuilt injectors to fail as well. All scheduled maintenance performed at authorized Toyota service centers. Toyota customer case: 261019002448. Vehicle is currently at the dealer awaiting repair.
The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross. The contact stated that on several occasions while the vehicle was parked, the rear door latches detached while opening the doors. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure by telephone. The contact was concerned that the failure posed a safety risk if children were inside the vehicle and the rear doors could not be opened due to the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 36,700.
Went to open rear drivers side door and handle broke off. The rear passenger side is now cracked as well.
The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the message "Engine Maintenance Required" was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed with an internal failure, and the engine coolant bypass valve needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.
The vehicle's "Engine Maintenance Required" dashboard message illuminated due to a total failure of the Engine Coolant Bypass Valve, throwing Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P268115. A certified Toyota dealership diagnostic inspection confirmed that an internal seal leak allowed pressurized engine coolant to short out the valve's electrical circuit, rendering the component completely inoperable. This component is responsible for regulating engine temperature and routing coolant to prevent the engine from overheating. Because the valve has suffered an internal electrical short, it cannot redirect coolant appropriately, introducing a severe risk of sudden engine overheating and catastrophic power loss while driving at highway speeds. Furthermore, Toyota has officially acknowledged this exact premature part failure on identical engine platforms under Customer Support Program 24TE04, but has excluded the Corolla Cross model. The failure of this sealed electrical component represents a severe, unaddressed safety defect that can cause total engine failure during operation
Car shuts off randomly saying low steering power, will restart after a few minutes. This a safety issue that can lead to a crash.
I received the engine maintenance required notification on 7/11. On 7/13, I called my Toyota to make an appt to bring it in at 9 AM. The ran diagnostics for $180 and then the test results said the engine coolant valve is stuck open or closed but either is dangerous because my car could overheat. This is a $850 repair. It sounds like this same part was used on another Toyota suv and the warranty was extended for those so this part needs to be recalled or warranty extended for the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross as well. I was waiting for this repair to be done for 5 hours total.
While driving at highway speeds 65mph in HOV lane (wall was to driver side), the back driver side window exploded. There was no external objects on the road that could explain the damage. No scratches or other body damage to suggest something was kicked up or impacted it. The window spontaneously exploded sending shards of glass inside the back of the vehicle. Upon inspection of the back inside of the vehicle there is no foreign objects to explain the explosion. The windows were not down or cracked, temperature outside was 83F with no winds or other weather. This is a hazard especially to back passengers and god forbid drivers. Please take this account to make Toyota fix this issue, it’s unsafe.
Driver side knee bolster airbag did not inflate correctly resulting in impact of lower leg to airbag hatch door and under dash area. Driver and passenger seatbelts flung open during accident. Driver hit top of thigh against steering wheel. No safety recalls per VIN search. No warning lamps, messages, or symptoms proof to accident.
I was rear-ended and the Vehicle Alert displayed airbag malfunction. This was a car rental I reported to insurance company. It advised to inspect car immediately.
Hello, I was involved in a accident o March 11 2025 in [XXX] on [XXX] and [XXX] It happened around 2pm cst. There was substantial damage to my vehicle, and my Air Bags did Not Deploy. There are no recalls for this on the vehicle, but Toyota has sent recalls out on other 2022 and 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross's, but not ours. The vehicle was towed by Anderson Towing and Collision. I reported this to my insurance company Progressive. The vehicle is being stored there for now at Anderson's [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
VEHICLE: 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross L FWD MILEAGE: 40,000 miles DATE OF FAILURE: [Insert date] DEFECT DESCRIPTION: My vehicle's coolant bypass valve (part #16671-F2010) has failed, causing coolant leaks and triggering error codes. An independent shop diagnosed the issue as a defective coolant bypass valve before I took it to the Toyota dealership for confirmation. SAFETY CONCERN: This is a known defect affecting multiple Toyota models from 2019-2023. Coolant bypass valve failures can lead to engine overheating, potential engine damage, and loss of vehicle control if the engine fails while driving. This creates a serious safety hazard. MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: Toyota issued Customer Support Program 24TE04 covering this exact defect for 2020-2021 Corollas and certain RAV4 models. However, they arbitrarily excluded 2022-2023 Corolla Cross vehicles despite using THE IDENTICAL DEFECTIVE PART (F0010 coolant bypass valve) in all gas models through early 2024. Toyota dealership charged me $99 for a diagnostic to confirm what was already known. The repair quote was nearly $1,000. Toyota Corporate denied goodwill assistance, stating they only provide it to "loyal customers" who have spent significant money on servicing or own multiple Toyotas. CONSUMER IMPACT: This is the same defect that led to the class action lawsuit Barrientos v. Toyota. Toyota settled privately and created CSP 24TE04, but deliberately excluded newer model years with the same defective part. Consumers with 2022-2023 vehicles are forced to pay $900-1,300 out-of-pocket for a manufacturing defect that Toyota has already acknowledged in other model years. REQUESTED ACTION: I am requesting NHTSA investigate why Toyota's Customer Support Program excludes 2022-2023 model years when they contain the identical defective coolant bypass valve. Toyota should be required to extend CSP 24TE04 to cover ALL vehicles with part #16671-F2010 or F0010, regardless of model year.

The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed in winter weather, the windshield wipers became stuck to the windshield. The contact stated that the heater vents located near the windshield failed to provide adequate heat to defrost the windshield, even while set to maximum. The contact had to manually clear the windshield, creating a hazardous driving condition. The contact stated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive due to the design of the defroster system. The dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 31,000.
I was involved in a frontal collision in which I rear-ended another vehicle. The impact was significant enough to cause a fractured sternum due to the seat belt restraint. However, the front airbags did not deploy. I had a passenger in the vehicle, and we were both wearing our seatbelts at the time of the crash. I am concerned that the airbags failed to deploy despite the severity of the impact and the resulting injury. I believe this may indicate a defect in the airbag system or the airbag control unit (ACU). I am submitting this report to ensure the issue is investigated and to help prevent potential harm to other drivers. After the collision the car was not drivable due to an airbag error message on the dash of the vehicle. It had to be towed away from the scene and will not be repaired. Injury: Yes — fractured sternum Medical Attention Received: Yes — X-Ray and CT Scan indicate a fracture to the upper sternum Police Report Filed: No Crash Photos or Documentation Available: Yes - insurance company has them
The vehicle is sensing passengers in the back seat when there isn't any and starts to beep excessively until all the seat belts in the back are secured (even without a person in the seat.
under normal driving conditions on a state highway the Engine Malfunction error displayed on my Multi-Information Display. The error indicated that I find a dealership and have the car inspected. The error would go off then come back during acceleration. after two days at the local Toyota Dealership I was told the Coolant Bypass Valve was stuck in the closed position and it would have caused stalling during acceleration and engine overheating at normal speeds. the dealership replaced the valve and flushed the 100K coolant at my expense of over $800. The issue reappeared moments after I took delivery of the repaired vehicle as I was accelerating onto the highway from their parking lot. this is a well known issue that affects 2019-2023 Camry and RAv4 models and I believe the 2022 Corolla Cross has the same defective part in its engine (all engines come from Japan) no matter where the vehicle is assembled.
Car is 76000 miles , I just purchased the vehicle however coolant bypass valve decide to make car say Engine maintenance require even after having it serviced for an oil change. After I replaced the valve , now the pop up Engine maintenance light did not pop up after that. That was the problem .
Twice in 2 years the fuel gauge didn't go past 3/4 mark after it was filled all the way. After 2 days and refilled, the gauge went back to the full mark.
Bypass coolant valve for the engine needed replacement, multiple other Toyotas within the year range needed the same fix right after warranty ended at a specific mileage. Was told my engine would fail if not addressed or fixed.
It was around 7pm. It was raining & wipers were on. Auto stop/start setting is on. I was at a stop light waiting to turn left. The light turns green and I try to go, but the engine stalled. I was unable to move forward into the lane, and turn the wheel. A sign on the dashboard showed up saying "engine stopped, steering power low". I try to the turn the wheel and was unable to, I tried to turn off the engine and the car shuts off. I turn the key again to start the car but it wasn't starting. It was about 3 min until the car engine throttles on and I pull over to the left into the parking lot. It was really scary. I managed to get home, which was less than a mile away. Grateful I got home. My safety was at risk at a busy and rainy intersection. Many cars went around me.
The driver seat goes down after a few days of driving my Corolla Cross LE 2022. I have to manually lift it up every time.
Hello. The moonroof appears to malfunction as it doesnt improperly close and doesnt know have proper sensor to shut or stop sliding. I got soaked during carwash but thankfully not soaking the interior electronics. Please consider for possible recall.
I was driving on [XXX] in Miami, FL. As I stopped at a red light, the STOP/START process powered the car down. Then, all systems turned off. I put the car in park and turned the key, the engine would not turn over. I was stranded in the middle of traffic. To no avail, I tried to start the engine at least five times. Strangers helped me to push the car to the side of the road. After about 15 minutes, the car turned on weakly. I drove immediately to the Toyota dealership.
