The Toyota Corolla Cross Faces Criticism For Suspension And Transmission Issues. Even With An Attractive Design And Internal Comfort, These Defects Raise Questions About The SUV’s Reliability.

The Toyota Corolla Cross Arrived In The Brazilian Market In 2021 With An Ambitious Proposal: To Compete Directly With The Jeep Compass, The Best-Selling Vehicle Among Mid-Size SUVs.

Manufactured In Sorocaba, In The Interior Of São Paulo, The Toyota SUV Promised To Uphold The Brand’s Tradition Of Reliability And Robustness, Sharing The TNGA Platform With The Renowned Corolla Sedan.

However, Not Everything Has Been Perfect For Corolla Cross Owners, Who Report Various Issues On The Website Reclame Aqui. What Are The Main Defects Of The Corolla Cross? And Is It Really Worth It?

History And Features

The Corolla Cross Is Sold In Brazil With Two Engine Options: A Flex 2.0 Engine Of Up To 175 Hp, With A CVT That Simulates Ten Gears, And A Hybrid Setup Composed Of A 1.8 Gasoline Engine And An Electric Motor, Generating A Combined 122 Hp.

These Features, Combined With Harmonious Design And Comfortable Interior Space, Make The Corolla Cross An Attractive Option For Many Consumers.

In April 2024, The SUV Underwent Its First Update, Receiving A Redesigned Look, Improvements In Interior Finishes, And New Equipment, Such As An Electric Tailgate Opener In The More Sophisticated Versions. However, Even With These Improvements, The Problems Persist.

Noises In The Suspension

Noises In The Corolla Cross Suspension Are One Of The Main Complaints From Owners. In An Interview With The Website Autoesporte, Alexandre, From Vitória Da Conquista, Bahia, Reported That His Vehicle, Model Year 2023/2024, Started Making Annoying Noises In The Front Suspension After Only 5,000 Km Driven.

According To Him, The Vehicle Was Taken To The Dealership, But The Technicians Did Not Find Any Problems And Said That The Noise Was A Characteristic Of The Vehicle. Also Speaking To The Mentioned Portal, Automotive Mechanic Paulo Vianna Stated That “It Is Necessary To Investigate The Source Of This Noise, As Mere Reports Are Not Enough For A Correct Diagnosis.”

“It Is Strange That Low-Mileage Cars Have This Type Of Problem”, He Stated, Emphasizing The Importance Of The Suspension For Vehicle Safety, Absorbing Impacts And Keeping The Wheels In Contact With The Ground.

Issues With The Automatic Transmission

Another Critical Point Reported By Corolla Cross Owners Is The Automatic Transmission. Bruno, From São Paulo, Also In An Interview With The Website Autoesporte, Mentioned That He Noticed Jerks And Malfunctions In The Transmission.

In This Regard, He Claims That His Car Exhibited Jerks When Shifting From First To Second Gear With Only 1,000 Km Driven. Toyota Responded That This Characteristic Is Intrinsic To The Product And Carried Out A Reprogramming Of The System, But The Problems Persist.

For Paulo Vianna, “The Defects In The Corolla Cross Automatic Transmission Need To Be Carefully Investigated To Discover The Source Of The Noises And Malfunctions.” In This Context, He Admits To Being Surprised By These Cases, As Toyota Has A Reputation For Using Robust And Reliable Transmissions.

More Complaints

In Addition To The Issues With The Suspension And Transmission, Corolla Cross Owners Also Report Defects In Components Such As Interior Finishes, Fuel Injectors, And Engine Mounts. Although Toyota Has Responded To Some Of These Complaints On Reclame Aqui, Many Consumers Still Feel Dissatisfied.

Although The Toyota Corolla Cross Has Many Positive Points, Such As Design, Interior Space, And Engine Options, The Problems Reported By Owners Cannot Be Ignored. Noises In The Suspension And Jerks In The Automatic Transmission Are Serious Defects That Affect The Driving Experience And Trust In The Vehicle.

That Being Said, Here’s A Question For You, Reader: Would You Buy A Toyota Corolla Cross Even Knowing About These Problems? Share Your Opinion In The Comments!

Eu comprei um XRE 2.0 flex agora em 07/2024 e estou enfrentando esse mesmo problema do barulho que ninguém descobre a sua causa, conforme relatado pelo Sr. Alexandre. Comentei isso na revisão dos 10 mil km que foi realizada no mês passado, mas não encontraram nada. Uma grande pena. Inacreditável. Finalmente consegui comprar um Toyota, um grande carro, mas tenho que dirigir desviando de toda e qualquer irregularidade no asfalto para não ouvir esse barulho que incomoda muito.
