NHTSA Complaint #11568361 — 2023 TOYOTA COROLLA CROSS

The rear running lights on my new Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid SE were not working as they were wired improperly from the factory. I was pulled over by a policeman driving at night because my car was not visible at night due to the lack of running lights. This is very dangerous as this is a factory defect that can cause rear end collisions! I immediately made an appointment with Toyota and the dealer told me upon thorough inspection that it was a factory defect. I was given a loaner car as my car is unsafe to drive. However it is taking Toyota a very long time to fix the problem. I believe that many other Toyota Corolla Cross cars have this wiring defect and that these are accidents waiting to happen! Thank God that policeman pulled me over and notified me as it may have saved me from a serious accident. I believe that all Toyota Corolla Cross SE 2023 should be recalled to have the rear running lights inspected!
