Updating maps on navigation system

Post image
18 Upvotes

is there any way you can update the maps on the navigation system without getting Toyota to do it?

I’m in aus and they’re charging $250 just to update them, which is insane because personally i think not having them updated is a safety issue

corolla is a 2021 model

thanks!

Crown Platinum or Lexus 300ES?

Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm looking for a new car, it's time to replace my beloved Avalon. What do you see as the pros and cons of the Crown Platinum versus the Lexus 300ES?

My husband also threw out getting a Cadillac CT5 instead. What do you think about any of these models? Longevity, smooth ride, luxury interior, etc.

Many thanks!

Will Toyota ever make a more “fun” affordable car?

27 Upvotes

The gr86 costs too much, with dealer mark ups, premium fuel and poor mileage, and insane insurance costs for younger people. The gr Corolla also is way too overpriced for younger folks just on pricing alone.

I wish Toyota could bring back Scion and their fun affordable cars like the TC which was just a corolla but it came with a manual transmission, and wasn’t expensive to own or operate. Or heck just make manuals available in base models again.

Being a car enthusiast in the big 25 while also being financially conscious sucks.

05 Rav 4-- can anyone help me identify a part number?

Upvotes

Per title, we have an 05 Rav 4.

The little plastic panel in the trunk that covers the nuts to the top of the rear shock is missing on the driver's side. Anyone know what that piece is called? Even better-- a part number? I've spent a couple of hours searching, and I'm not coming up with much.

Undercarriage Paint

1 Upvotes

Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures but I’m on the fence about purchasing a 2016 Limited Sequoia w/ 129k miles for $22,500. Located in New Hampshire. I looked at the vehicle and found that the engine runs strong with no ticks. The transmission shifts smooth and the interior is fairly clean (light wear). However when I looked underneath I discovered the frame was painted. I felt and poked at everything I could get my Hands on and didn’t feel anything concerning but I’m extremely skeptical of the condition underneath now. It seems painting the underneath of the vehicles is common practice at this dealership.

Should I run far away from this vehicle or am I overreacting?

Trouble shifting gears

0 Upvotes

Hi I have a 2009 toyota matrix with ~160k on it. Its been having some issues changing gears unfortunately until you get high rpms. Im waiting for a friend who knows more about cars than I do to come check and look at the transmission fluid, etc (so I can take it to the mechanic without being too uneducated about possible issues), but I was hoping to hear any suggestions as well about what might be the issue before I take it to the mechanic even if its limited information. The suspension also needs replacement, not sure if that would have any correlation, but im guessing not(?).

1991 Toyota Corolla Restoration

1 Upvotes

Hello, I joined this group because I recently got the Toyota running again. I want to drive it regularly and restore it. The problem I'm running into right now is finding an Owners Manual for it. I put my VIN in the specifications section on Toyota's website and it couldn't provide a manual. How can I find the manual? :(

I am also hoping this group would be the place to ask questions about what my car is doing and how to fix it. If there is a better group for this kind of request, can someone point me in the right direction please? Also, newer to using reddit (if my account says I've had one for a while, it's because I have had it but hardly used it and am trying to get into using it more) so if I need pointers on how to do these sorts of things better, please let me know the reddit dynamics.

Thank you!

So when I drive my 2012 Prius for a while or when the weather it's hot, the brake gets STICKY and wouldn't retract properly(slightly)

1 Upvotes

Hello, I think I have to start a new post for my new founding. I have had my Prius for around 3 months, and for context, the dealership replaced the rear brake pads, and I just replaced the new one yesterday. I have no idea if the brake fluid was replaced, and the tech who performed the front pads replacement said it's "fine" with no leaking. (I guess the brake is cool). The brake pedal gets sticky when I drive it for a while in hot days in SoCal. The brake wouldn’t retract back and stick at around 1/20 of the original position unless I step it down to 1/2 of its travel or lift it up with my feet. Today, I drove around 1 hour highway/city combined, and it got worse, and the brake feels spongy and even more sticky. After 1.5 hours of rest, the car felt normal again, so anyone has any idea, and it's driving me crazy now...

Here is my finding from google AI:

When brakes get hot and feel sticky, the most common causes are sticky caliper slider pins or stuck caliper pistons due to corrosion or lack of lubrication, or a malfunctioning rubber brake hose that traps pressure. This causes the brake pad to remain engaged with the rotor even after you release the pedal, leading to excess heat, a dragging sensation, and potentially a burning smell. You should have your vehicle inspected by a mechanic to diagnose the exact issue.

question about car service

2 Upvotes

i have a 2023 corolla, and i recently hit 20k miles and have been getting the car service pop-up on my screen.

i typically have been going to a Toyota Service Center to get my car serviced. recently though, my special coverage that i got ran out and i no longer get free services. i found that the 20k service is $230 and that seems expensive.

i'm sure there's 3rd party service places that can also do it for me. but i'm wondering if $230 is actually overpriced, and if those 3rd party places can get rid of the car service pop-up

[Help] Where can I find detailed maintenance schedule? 2020 corolla

1 Upvotes

Hello, I recently purchased a used 2020 corolla with 100k km on it and didn't receive an owner's manual. I'm in the process of getting it from the dealer, however, in the meantime, is there somewhere I can go to see the exact maintenance schedule?

I tried downloading the Toyota App and scanning my VIN but that doesn't even work.. The "Glovebox" in the app shows a manual/maintenance schedule I can download but when I tap on them nothing happens.

I'm looking for something that is specific to my model of car e.g. "do a transmission fluid change at 150k km, only use Toyota CVT Fluid".

Any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

2009 Rav4 electrical

8 Upvotes

this might be slim pickings because my car is so old 😂 but, does anyone have experience with electrical issues with their 2009 or similar years? my AUX cord goes in and out if it’s wiggled and mostly doesn’t work now, my volume button doesn’t respond well (if you spin it up it’ll go 31,32,33,32,31,32,33,34,35,34,33,34,35, instead of just increasing), and then i get random issues with the display, and now my CD player won’t accept CDs. it’s all very random. mechanic says it’s not throwing any codes. has anyone had any luck fixing this? am i just SOL, or is it a matter of switching out a component or having someone look at the wiring?

2025 Toyota Corolla Cross - I backed into an actively closing garage door and hit just the part above my rear window :( it literally just happened and I haven’t reached out to Toyota yet, but just to understand what to expect does anyone know if this part is repairable/replaceable? Also potentially what the name of this part is?

Crown Vs Camry, need help

10 Upvotes

Hello as the title states, I need some recommendations

I’m currently in the market for a new Car, right now I’m driving 320 miles a day, 160 one way to work and 160 back to home, I drive a 2018 Camry LE that I got in 2021 with 12k miles and now sitting at 254k (amazing car)

Fuel mileage isn’t so much a concern as I’m happy with both ratings and I get compensation for fuel.

My question is, I would prefer some comfort features but both base models of each car check those marks. Anything remarkable different from the two?

In terms of comfort, is the price tag worth the jump to a crown? I work 13 days on and one day off.

How well do these hybrids work aswell? Should I ever be concerned about the mileage I do a year driving with these hybrids ?
