For the one with cruise control, the system has a hard time tracking center and shoulder lines and OFTEN pulls in the wrong direction.

Unknown Or Other

I had the 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross LE for one week and have experienced two occurrences of a serious safety concern.

After a few seconds, it seems to pick back up and continue like nothing happened. This malfunction has left me in situations that will cause an accident.
