Complaints for the 2025 Corolla Cross are spread across a handful of systems, with exterior lighting drawing the most reports. Owners of the SE trim describe the tail lights as unusually small, saying other drivers frequently come close to rear-ending them, several report this as a recurring near-miss pattern rather than a one-time event. The forward collision avoidance system draws a couple of reports of unexpected activation or behavior. Engine complaints are also present, with owners describing stalls at a stop followed by warning lights across multiple gauges, requiring a manual restart to resume driving. A single report describes the electric power steering cutting out briefly at highway speed before returning to normal. One isolated report mentions the sunroof shattering spontaneously. With only 16 total complaints on a current model year, no single pattern dominates heavily, but the tail light visibility concern is the most consistently repeated theme across multiple owners.
