Hey guys,

Do not know if this is right, my 2014 2WD kluger when it starts running from 0km, especially when it is climbing the hill, the accelerate feels not smooth, when the rpm is round about 2000 the engine makes loud sound and the steering wheel vibrates a little bit, any body could tell me is this a normal thing for 2WD? thanks.

Is there a light flashing on the dash when this happens?

no nothing is flashing, and once the car is up running it feels normal, it just feels like not enough power at the beginning...

Have you consulted a dealer as the car should still be under warranty?

yes I did, he said it is normal for a 2WD big SUV, cos it is too heavy and only 2WD, actually after 5000+ km it is a little bit better then, but still not smooth like my MAZDA 3

Service managers are not usually mechanics they will fob you off with any story if they can.
Toyota makes great cars but their Australian dealerships are at the other end of the scale when it comes to addressing vehicle faults.

The only way you will get any satisfaction is to take it to a mechanic and get him to test it and give you his opinion in writing.
Take that to your service manager and see what happens then. If the mechanic agrees with what you are experiencing and the dealer still fobs you off you will need to contact your state consumer protection authority.

Are you sure what you are experiencing is not wheel spin? I have a 2012 2WD and starting off anywhere it is Rolls Royce smooth and never vibrates, ever.

      Aurion dead steering feel any way of fixing it?

      I am looking at a 2012 Aurion sx6 Sportivo. Lovely car but the steering lacks feedback and feel to me. I really want to buy it but don't like the steering. Is there any way of improving the feel? Different tyres or different power steering fluid etc?

      Touchscreen unit for 2012 Aurion Sportivo zr6 cost

      Actually I made a mistake. It's an SX6 not ZR6 so yes it has the correct touchscreen in the boot but I still have to get it installed and the aftermarket one removed.

      Touchscreen unit for 2012 Aurion Sportivo zr6 cost

      I have found an Aurion 2012 sportivo zr6 model which will make a nice daily driver. Problem is the original touch screen centre unit is missing and has been replaced with some large aftermarket touchscreen that pairs with your phone. The seller showed me the original touchscreen in the boot which he says can be re-installed quite easily. Problem is the "original" touchscreen in the boot is a basic one from an ATX base 2012 model rather than the sportivo model which is far more comprehensive and includes GPS etc. The car is priced quite cheaply in accordance with it's condition. Does anyone know approx how much I will be up for the purchase of the proper replacement touchscreen unit including installation? Thanks in advance 🙂 I'm a Ford/Holden diehard who happens to love Aurions. My other car is a VF SSV and my previous car was an XR6 Turbo but I still love these Aurions...very underrated car indeed.

      Concerns about Fuel Consumption in Kluger Hybrid

      I have a 2022 Kluger that started with a higher consumption but after about 1000+ km, has settled in to around 6.6-6.7 l/100km on journeys, covering up and down steep passes, and a range of conditions. I occasionally use E10 but use 95 when I can find it, along with 98. I drive to enjoy it (within the law!), so I'm not always feathering the throttle. With nudge bar, lights and roof racks, I haven't noticed an appreciable difference, the only situation that really knocked the consumption around was towing a dual axle trailer from Wollongong to SW Sydney which sent the consumption sky-rocketing due to the wind resistance of the load.

      Hi All, I have a 2024 Prado Altitude and so far its a great upgrade from my old 1999 Holden Frontera (which is still going strong and will remain my "Bunnings Car") Couple of questions Im hoping those allot smater than me may be able to assist with .....and yes ive read both 300 page books but cant seem to find an answer Sometimes when I lock the car it gives multiple beeps and flashes and sometimes it only gives one beep; what do the multiple beeps mean please Is there any way to remove the Cruise Control icon from the display. I can cycle through Adaptive to normal Cruise, but I cant get it to simply disappear Lastly, Theres an odd looking slot on the RHS just down from the steering wheel. It looks like its for business cards but surely in this day cars dont offer business card holders.......or do they Thats it Thanking you in advance David

      Selling my 1972 Landcruiser FJ Pickup

      THE ULTIMATE TRADESMAN The 1972 Toyota Landcruiser can cope with australia's toughest terrain. This car was a farm vehicle is rural Victoria for its first 50 years, and I’m only the second owner! It’s had upgraded wheels, exhaust and suspension, bull bar with led light bar, and a stereo/cd player added. Engine and gearbox are original, disc brakes added to the front, extractors and a Holley carburettor. New plugs, points, and ignition coil have just been replaced. It’s a convertible too, and you can remove the roof and fold down the front windscreen for summer driving. It was upgraded to full Victorian registration approximately 3 years ago with custom plates. The car is a real head turner, and everywhere it goes it commands attention. It has been in storage for the past 2 years and just isn’t getting enough driven enough. Time for someone else to enjoy her. $22,500 Call Miles 0448 650 855 https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1972-toyota-landcruiser-manual-4wd/SSE-AD-17617014/

      How to permanently turn-off lane assist

      I have a new 2024 RAV4 Hybrid and the lane assist function is driving me nuts when driving on poor country roads. I've worked out how to turn most of the other annoying alarms off but this one is very persistant. Does any body know if there is a way to permanently turn this function off? Maybe even by pulling a fuse? I was about to buy the new Prado but backed out for the same reason and I'm now putting money into my old Landcruiser. thanks Phil
