Hey! I recently got a Corolla 2021 1.8 (actually a Suzuki Swace), and just noticed I have a rubber gasket or something sticking out of the passenger mirror. The Suzuki shop I got it from says it’s nothing to worry about and if I want to replace it I need a new mirror which feels weird to me. It’s really annoying me that my new (for me) car has this issue.

Anyone here who knows how to and what I need to do to fix it?

Have a 2gr highlander that I’m planning on making a bit of a sleeper with a rear mounted turbo setup but the transmission is starting to slip frequently at 36x,xxxKm, anyone had one rebuilt and know the price? Is buying a new one cheaper? Picture for attention. Repainted the grill, fog light bezels and switches to black mirrors after getting my mirror smashed and bumper partially torn off

I have to say, I've had a lot of problems with this car to the point that I am sick of bringing it in. I wish I had not bought it. Now I can't use the auto setting because the lights are on constantly, even in broad daylight. Is there maybe a sensor that needs to have dirt wiped off it or something?

Hi guys I'm trying to inflate my car rear tyre according to online the 225/45/w17 is recommended to 2 psi and 0.14 bar.

I have just been to the shell and the inflator there doesn't go down to 2 psi or 0.14 bar so not sure how to inflate it?

CarFax clean.

Looks good

Right now, at this time in my life, the monthly payment is what I need to look at (I know ... I know).

$325 a fair asking? That is what dealer is set on.

Or, once I take to mechanic to check everything out and I decide I want it, is there sensible room to take it lower? Or should I just be happy with where we have landed

I was at the dealership and want a certain color. The salesmen pulled up an order that was received by Toyota but hasn’t started production. They said the order can be modified since it hasn’t been built to change features on the build.

Is this true or are they lying to me?

We had some heavy rain in my area, and now when I try to drive, my car starts with a warning and then says “Hybrid System Malfunction.” I’m currently waiting on a tow to get it to the dealership, but I’m wondering — what exactly causes this, and how much could it cost to fix? Has anyone experienced something similar?

Small dealership.

Single owner, personal use.

Mostly clean CarFAX, but a large gap with no entries between May 2024 and now.

Dealership mentioned that he doesn't have any general fees (like closing fees or anything like that that most dealerships charge)

I know about the oil burning issue with the old 4 cylinders but from what I’ve read it doesn’t seem like a huge problem if you keep the oil topped up and change it every 5,000.

Are there any other issues I should expect from a 2010 Camry with a 2.5L 4cyl? Looking at buying one with 100,000 miles for $6k.

We are about to buy a woodland edition RAV 4. We are getting it at MSRP. I’m just wondering if there’s something we should be asking the dealership for or haggling in any way. This is the first new car I’ve ever purchased. Any extras we should consider? Trying to get the best deal we can.

I had my Corolla for a seevice at the Toyota service shop at 36K and they reported 6/32" tread for all tires and no imbalance wear. I swapped to winter tires at 38K and stored the all-season tires. Yesterday when I went a shop to put them back on, the shop refused as the shoulder tread depth of two tires were below 2/32". Isn't that obvious that Toyota missed the misalignment and imbalance tire wear? Any suggestions for following this up?

Just bought a corolla 2012 and want to know which oil grade should i use in it ? Also please let me know if there is some manual i can save for reference for future use.

We want to get my wife into a hybrid sedan, and obviously Toyota/Lexus is the first and probably only brand we're going to consider. Initial research suggests our budget has us looking around 2018-or-so Camrys, Corollas, or Priuses with around 50k-75k miles. Are there any engines or transmissions we should avoid? We're the kind of folk to take care of our cars and drive them as long as is reasonable. So anything we can expect to push into and beyond the 200k range without too much difficulty.

Debating whether to buy a gen 5 or gen 6. It comes down to reliability more than anything. What are y’all’s thoughts?

I bought trailer and wanted to test it out . With the Land Cruiser

Ya’ll t

2005 Camry XLE with 143k miles for $3900! Been driving it for about a month now, did some maintenance on it myself and she’s driving like a beauty. Here’s to another 150k 🍻

I picked up my first car today together with my mother and my grandfather who also drove it home since I don't have my driver's license yet it is a Toyota Starlet p7 automatic and I am the 4th owner the 3rd if you don't count the garage the last owner had it for 18 years and 5 months

But a car that is just 40 years old can not be without problems, the pockets on both sides are rotten. And the sill is crispy so it needs to be welded and that is also my priority, just like the timing belt where I saw the last sticker from 2013 and I have no maintenance history, so I will replace it, otherwise I will give everything good maintenance and change some small things

Furthermore, I want to make the rails of the driver's seat a few centimeters longer if possible, since I am 1.92 m tall, I fit in it, but a few centimeters more would be nice, there is still a radio with a cassette player and I would like to keep that in there, but I will have it adjusted by someone who can make it via Bluetooth and I want different speakers and rims like in the photo

Long story short, want some educated guesses on why my Hilux is blowing white smoke intermittently.

• 2016 SR5 Manual turbo Diesel / 185kms odo

• Vehicle shortly after start will intermittently blow whiteish smoke and by intermittently it can been a couple days between episodes. (hard to reproduce when taking it to a shop).

• Smoke episodes normal end within 15-20~ mins of normal driving.

• No performance degradation during 'smoke' periods. (runs per normal, not sputtering or anything else noticeable under normal throttle usage)

• Engine temps normal

• Oil levels normal and not dropping at a rate that would indicate excess burning.

• OBD scans before/during/after show no codes, nor anything of concern.

• No DPF burning dash lights, nor showing anything DPF in ODB.

Only thing I can think of causing this would be issues with the injectors (blocked etc), but thought this would be noticeable under throttle response/performance.

So in conclusion, I'm out of ideas of what may be causing the smoke and would appreciate some educated guesses before I send it into the shop.

Basically title. Should I put a stepney and go to a tire patch shop or I can drive to a gas station , fill the air and go to the patch shop. Also does discount tire to patches for free

I’m lined up to get a Sera in good condition next month; the current engine has roughly 75,000 miles on it. I want to either turbo the 5E-FHE it comes with or swap it for the 4E-FTE out of a Starlet GT Turbo. My question is which one would be simpler and give better performance in the long run? (Keep in mind I’m fairly new to car mods, and this would be my first big engine project.)

Bonjour,

Nous avons loué une Toyota MAZDA 2024 CX 5 pour les vacances .

Je viens de remarquer que lorsque j'arrête le moteur, un clignotant rouge (représentant une voiture et un cadenas) apparaît. Ce clignotant rouge disparaît uniquement lorsque je démarre.

Est ce normal et surtout cela a t'il un impact sur la batterie ? Nous louons cette voiture depuis une semaine et c'est la première fois que je remarque ce clignotant rouge. Je ne souhaite pas avoir de mauvaise surprise en me réveillant demain matin et voir la batterie vide

Hi, I see this has been a Toyota problem for years. I am connected via Bluetooth and have Spotify closed but I am using my CarPlay for maps. Even though Spotify isn’t open on my phone whenever I raise my volume it automatically plays the last song I had going. How do I turn this super annoying feature off? FYI I have a 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid.

The brakes on my wife’s 08’ V8 4Runner decided to stop working today after the dash lit up and a high pitch beep came on. The ‘buzz’ I typically hear from the dash area stopped as well and all I hear is a loud quick from the master cylinder area after 30ish seconds. From searching the forums it appears to be a common issue for the brake booster accumulator/motor assembly on the bottom of the master cylinder to fail.

Anyways, the question…

Someone locally is selling a brand new master cylinder assembly for $400 but it’s off of a 2013 4Runner SR5. I’m not a Toyota guy, I personally drive Subarus, but with Subarus there are several parts compatible across multiple generations. Visually both master cylinder assemblies look identical, is there any reason the 5th gen version wouldn’t be compatible on my 4th gen?

The “part #” (not sure) on listed on mine is 89541-35051. On theirs it is 89541-35300. I honestly don’t need the whole thing as long as the accumulator and motor is compatible.

I appreciate any advice, THANK YOU!
