Touch screen intermittent, very seldom works at all. Internet search reveals that this is a major problem for many 2015 Corollas, and report dealership repairs in excess of $1,000.

Navigation system in a looping reboot. Infotainment system is bricked. Constant miscommunication with dealer service department led to being in their service center for a month waiting for a part. They put in a temporary non-screen radio from a Prius C that looks like it is falling out of the dashboard. Still haven't gotten the part and it has been over two months. Dealer sold me the car with warm A/C when idling. There is a TSB for it to replace the compressor with a different model compressor. They recharged instead, insisting that is the problem instead. This problem is very hard to replicate, so I have been to the dealer 11 times in the past two months. The recharge did not help. Toyota dealer sold me the car with two broken fog lights. The bulbs needed to be replaced, which took less than ten minutes.

We got the dreaded semi-automatic transmission flashing N error. Clutch or clutch actuator failed. Naas Toyota in Kildale charged us 100 to tell us that it would cost €1500 to repair, yet they didn't know for sure. They were very unhelpful. The car had a flashing red oil light on on way home. We decided to junk it. That car was the worst we ever had because of the semi-auto transmission and poor dealer service. We will never go near Toyota again. Skoda and Opel are much more reliable.

Check engine light turned on after a fill up at the gas station. Went to dealership and was told code was P0442 indicating a fuel vapor leak.

Burning about a quart of oil a month when sold. Once I checked the oil and almost nothing at all showed up on the dipstick (it took 2 quarts to get it to halfway full) but the oil pressure warning light had not come on.  Had developed a vibration/noise from the right rear wheel -- frequency proportional to my speed and occurred at every speed. CEL. My mechanic checked code, told me for catalytic converter. Advised me not to replace it, saying he'd often seen Corollas throw that code when nothing really wrong with catalytic converter.
