7 Types of Problems Every Toyota Owner Needs to Know

You know that the most exciting time for you as a vehicle owner is when that “new car day” happens. That is the time when you will like it’s your second birthday! You are overcome with a sense of joy and those tiny butterflies that are flying in your stomach as you contemplate if you broke the bank with the purchase.

 

A new vehicle or pre-owned purchase can be a bit of balancing act. You want to select a perfect fit based on your style of driving and reliability while still staying in your budget. If you already have a Toyota car which needs some sort of repairs then you can take it to Toyota repairers in Sydney. 

 

Moreover, if you are going to purchase a new car then you should consider looking at a brand’s common complaints before deciding. This will help shed some useful light into what models are good and which are worthy to stay entirely clear of.

 

Unfortunately for Toyota, there is a long list of owner complaints that are worthwhile to highlight. There are plenty of complaints ranging from rodents chewing wires to rattling dashboards, peeling paint to headlights turning off by itself, and many more.

 

Have a look at these X types of problems which used to arise in the Toyota cars. However, Toyota has taken these problems seriously and have figured it out.

 

Engine May Use Excess Oil 

The Corolla has always been a great car for the Toyota line-up for decades. The 2009 model year was the 10th gen for the car. It was a very popular model for a host of good reasons. But according to user’s reviews, the 2009 model has received the most number of complaints with the worst problem being an issue regarding excessive oil consumption.

 

Also while keeping that in mind, this could pose a major problem when heading out on your next road trip.

 

Prematurely Rusting of the Frame 

Another popular model of the Toyota line-up was the 4Runner which was a go-to SUV since its introduction in the mid-1980s. The 3rd gen model of the 4Runner has some great features that included optional 4WD and exceptional boot space.

 

Along with these great features, there were some problems as well. The problem was about frame rusting or worst, it could lead to frame rot.

 

Water Leakage 

The Rav4 by Toyota was the company’s CUV or compact utility vehicle which was the middle version of the full-size Highlander SUV and the CH-R Compact Crossover.

 

Despite being a great car there were some faults within it. According to the owners, there has been some issue with the potential of water/rain leaking into the cabin of the vehicle. This used to happen mainly because of a faulty door seal.

 

Uncomfortable Seats 

Interior seats are one of the most important aspects to overall in-car enjoyment especially when you are embarking on any long road trip. According to some Toyota Highlander owners, they have experienced displeasure towards the comfort of the seats.

 

While some have also expressed sitting on a Highlander seat with the feeling of sitting on concrete.

 

Wires Getting Chewed by Rodents 

Major car manufacturers including Toyota have turned soy as a plant-based plastic used in the internal wiring insulation under the vehicle hood. That is the reason why rodents have come to enjoy chowing down on this plant-based plastic.

 

Steering Issues 

Another problem with the 4Runner was the steering issues. 2016 4Runner owners have experienced an unpleasant steering wheel issues that have made during driving long distances difficult and even made their hands feel numb. Anything like this happens with your Toyota then you can take it to the nearest car service in Randwick.

 

Excessive Wind Noise 

Another problem with the 2017 Highlander owners has experienced a whistling sound coming from the passenger window area. This issue is a completely opposite scenario of what a quiet cabin experience should be for a high-end SUV. This problem would be possible because of the design flaw from Toyota.
