Despite being known for their excellent efficiency and general reliability, there are some common issues on the Toyota Corolla 12th generation (2018-current) that owners and prospective buyers should know about. Below is a clear rundown of the most widely reported issues for this generation, plus why following the Toyota Corolla maintenance schedule matters, and how AutoNation Mobile Service can keep your car running like new, right from your own driveway.
Common Issues on the 12th Generation Toyota Corolla
1. Fuel Pump Failure
Some early models in this generation were built with unreliable fuel pumps. Owners typically notice hard starts, hesitation under load, reduced power, or stalling. The repair involves fitting an updated pump and can usually be diagnosed on-site.
2. CVT Transmission Issues
Select 2019 Hatchbacks models were built with a CVT that had issue that can cause a sudden loss of power. Check engine lights and unusual transmission behavior are common clues, so it should be addressed quickly if you suspect something is off.
3. Brake Booster Failure
Some 2020 Corolla Hybrids have experienced brake or stability-control dash lights tied to the electric brake booster pump. This can result in a firmer brake pedal or inconsistent brake feel, and can lead to additional brake issues. The brake booster can be inspected and replaced if needed, along with any other worn brake components.
