When it 'died' on you, did it make any unusual sounds (spluttering etc)? Also, when you try to start it, does the starter motor engage and does it attempt to start, or just nothing?

Being a new car, this would have to be something for Toyota to check out cause they should fix it under warranty. Don't attempt to reset the ECU either as it may now have a stored fault code and freeze-frame data.

I think your best option would be to keep speaking to Toyota. It could possibly have something to do with the Smart Entry ECU and it's not really something you'll want to try and fix yourself given that you are under warranty. Last thing you want is for it to break down in the worst of all places and set you back even further.

Radio/electrical interference can cause issues starting as the key is not recognised. There is a section in the owners manual about it.

If that were the case though, would his dash still light up?

Yes I believe so its as if he was just turning the ignition on. I will give it a try later to confirm.

I find that my mobile phone can cause interference.

in regards to starting your engine, and this might sound stupid, but would you happen to start ignition while your in gear other than in [P]park, for example starting in [D]drive... wont crank up if thats the case :unsure:

isnt rowan experiencing a similar problem with his car?

I think they are two separate issues as Rowan's cranks but doesn't fire up. DODO doesn't seem to get any bit of engine movement.

Now it's starting to sound like the gearbox is playing up. It's like you are getting all these different faults. Thought it could be just one that is making it seem like a lot. Either way, taking it to the dealer was the best choice.

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
