  1. Nope it doesn't happen when you accelerate hard while turning out out of driveway or over a gutter. As stated before, it happens during stop start conditions-eg roundabouts, causing people to cut in front of me, and then it can happen on main straight road as well just after a long period of stopping and the car will sudden go no where, and accelorator will fai-as i said beforre it alsmost caused an accident-its not normal CVT behaviour in any shape or form as nearly all the small cars on our road are CVT and you don't see them jumping jerking, shuddering and shaking, nor crawling at snail speedl. I believe their is fault with this vehicle-faulty Elecontric Control Module-eg computer glitch causing misfiring but this simply glitch could lead to serious and fatal accident! the problem is Toyota diagnostic cannot detect this glitch!! This glitch can also cause steering issues, accelorator failure, and brake failure! literally a ticking time bomb!
  2. Hi All, Anyone had Electronic Control Module issues with any Toyota Corolla CVT? I brought a ex demo with around 46km on clock 2017 Toyota Corolla ZR with additional parking sensors added, , initally thought it was just wearing in glitch, but then the more I used said vehicle, the more it continued to malfunction, it increased drastically in the heat in early March-eg Lag and Lurching sums it up, including REV high and go no where, and pretty much lead to near miss collision-almost got rear ended as result of it issues, parking sensor replaced as they presumed it was faulty, so i sent it back to the repairs, they attached their diagnostic computer to the vehicle, and of course no issue was no issues found, the parking sensor was also replaced but still continues to malfunction. These cars are also passing all roadworthy inspection, and toyota certifed safety test! However i believe the issues are simple caused by Computer glitch-eg ECM needs a full replacement, but strangely this is not being able to diagnose with their testing! Eg the Parking sensor control panel is connected to the ECM! The Automotive transmission hence the rev and crawl is again linked to the accelorator and brake! The traction control is also somehow linked to the ECM(hence the lurch) i do know of another similar vehicle to mine-2017 Toytoa Corolla SX in the USA, which i believe also experienced the lag/lurch and their brake failure too-again diagnostic testing revealed nothing, and i do now believe that is due to faulty computer, as well But how on earth do I convince toyota to replace ECM unit, when nothing is coming up as faulty! I do believe all these issues will be fixed by a new ECM
  3. Toyota Corolla Zr 2017 Automatic. 46km on clock! Had an additional parking sensors installed on car-optional extra-after i went through with deposit. Tested fine-demo drove twice-no issue. My stepdad drove it back home, fine, my stepdad drove it to the pedal extension fitters-again no issue. i drove it home, worked fine for several months-no problems. Rev's extremely high and speed gets stuck on 40 or 60km at same time Brakes will work no issues. Worse when warm Strangely no fault lights on dashboard to indicate major issue or fault-and yet obvious is! Eventually car does function as normal, only to malfunction several hours later. RACV was called to work? No idea of problem and unable to recreate the issue. I was towed home , and was able to put it in drive way-and was able to reverse out of drive way on Wednesday in preparation for tow number 2. Have since had it towed to where i purchased. What are my rights? I since had dash cam fitted before problems occured. If the worse factor does mean car has to be replaced with another. Legally i have to drive with extension pedals-its in my licence now-which means i can't even test drive a car anymore! its also not toyota related-so that going to be refitted out of my own pocket. So working out how to get it down is going to be another issue! my stepdad did it last time, but he had hip replacement so can;t drive now! mum has 3 children with disabilities including myself-so abit hard for her to help me out! Dash cam will have to be reinstalled at cost from my own pocket-as that is also non toyota related. It is being paid off with loan through RACV but i am ahead of repayments so far. its still under NEW car warranty thankfully!
  4. Hi, i have just recently brought a new car, leather seats-Toyota Corolla Zr. It seems to me the type of leather is that it seems to repel water- i dropped abit of water on the seat by accident, and the water just sat there even when rubbed gentle. What leather cleaner and condition would you recommend? Always had fabric seats until now. We have the following brands available Option 1; Autoglym, Option 2; Oakwood, Option 3; Armor, Option 4; Mother's (Can only see conditioner), Option 5; Meguiar's, Option 6 NO-H2O (Not familiar with this one and can only see Cleaner. Option 7; Bowden's Own leather guard (not familar with one and online availabity only), Option 8; Turtle Wax (Luxe Leather Cleaner and Conditioner in 1(I am familiar with this brand but only for external as Wax is normally used on outside of cars. Option 9; Autosmart(Again not familiar, Not easy to get online only) Option 10; Sca leather protectant I used to ride horses and pretty sure Oakwood was one of the top for leather soap and saddles-but i am well aware its not recommended to use Saddle Soap and Saddle cleaner on automotive leather. American Website have said to avoid certain ingredients but as far as i can see all products available here have those No ingredients. Any other suggestions? (Melbourne Vic)
  5. Would you prefer a key start or push button start? Advantages & disadvantages of leather seat? Advantages & negetive of push button start? Advantages & disadvantage of sky view roof? While it is a little more budget stretch it look better value for money then adding optional extras with other models & increased safety features!
  6. Hi Eric, The Rear Seats do Fold Down, all hatchbacks have this; They called this a small SUV at the dealership-toyota specialist, they also told me the seats don't fold down-i couldn't see anywhere where the seat did fold down in the model i saw 2017. Can you tell me where to show the dealership how to fold down the seats?i did notice all 3 did have anchor points for car seats which isn't a need for me-as both my sisters are old enough to not need a car seat lol! Boot was a little small for my liking. You really need to Drive the C-HR!!, the car is Great to drive, Comfortable & very Zippy if you like Who are you buying the Car for?, You or others?, you buy what you want, not for what others think, if you like Teal, go for it. Myself. Thanks for the information.
  7. What are the positives? What are the negetives? It still has keystart & normal engine) which maybe frowned on in future as abit behind the times & harder to sell? I have 1995 Toyota Corolla seca Csx! What do you think?
  8. What are the advantages? What are the disadvantages? Any technology or mechanical issues you found?
  9. Currently have 1995 Toyota Corolla seca Csx Looking for a new car, while I like the teal. The design is abit unusual & may not appear to everyone taste! I was able to view a demo at one of our dealerships but haven't test driving. One of the features I found that I didn't like was the rear seats didn't fold down! Also was mentioned the Koda model had heated front seats? What happens if in event of crash? (Would the seats catch fire?) we had a house fire caused by fan heater when I was younger) What are the features you love about this car? It's just one of the models I am considering! What are the features you dislike?
  10. Hi all, i just thought I introduced myself I am Krystal & have a 1995 Toyota Corolla at current! Love the reliability of this brand!
