In owners' own words

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2024 Toyota Corolla from Arlington Jamal Auto Group. The vehicle was purchased via a dealer sale. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 18,163 and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 16,405. Electrical system · reported at 16,405 miles

On 6/7 while driving 65 mph I hit a deer on the driver front. My car detected the crash and deployed every airbag inside the car. I received an injury to my legs from the driver's airbag under my steering wheel. If this airbag were not there, I would have had no injuries from this accident. I have missed work and was seen at the local ED for treatment. Air bags

When the sun is overhead (this happens daily in South Florida) the reflection of the ambient light on the instrument panel cover makes it impossible to look at the information on the instrument panel. This essentially makes one drive while being blind. Not a safe concept. It is pathetic that no action has been taken against the company. Unknown or other
