I drive my vehicle regularly on highways - travel along the Ring road heading to work 2-3 times a week and depending on traffic sit at between 80-100km per hour. There is undoubtedly a problem in the design of the CHR motor. My toyota dealership has confirmed they regularly have CHR's in with carbon build up issue. I have stressed to Toyota over and over again that this is a safety issue- my car simply shuts down in the middle of the road and if I can't get to the side I am at risk of being hit by another car. I have already had one very minor incident with someone just clipping my car. Toyota have recently pulled the head off my car and completed a full clean and machined the head of my engine- they have also agreed to provide 2yrs of free servicing for my vehicle whilst they 'monitor' the issue. How is this not them admitting fault in the design. This is not satisfactory for me due to the safety concerns and risks this issue provides. I feel sorry for other CHR owners who don't start having this carbon build up issue until after their warranties expire and they are left to pay all associated costs with the repairs for what is clearly a faulty design.

Hi- I have had this exact same issue with my 2019 CHR petrol 2WD. I have had my engine cleaned a total of 5 times in a period of twelve months - basically every 5000kms. There is undoubtedly an issue with the engine design. My car started having the problem at around 63,000km. Toyota have advised now that the car needs a full engine clean as part of his maintenance on an annual basis - pretty sure if buyers were told this they would have asked why and not bought the vehicle.
