  4. Hello, I was interested in the 1969 Corona owners manual and if it was still available. My 15 daughter just bought a 1969 Corona project car that we will be working of and getting ready for her 16th birthday. if it’s still available we might be interested in purchasing it. Thank you Marc

  6. Since 1979 most of my cars and SUVs have been manual transmissions. Same with the 2007 Tacoma I traded in for a 2010 Camry. One thing that disappointed me about automatics is their tendency to 'hunt' gears on an uphill grade. I'm finding the 6A transmissions S mode, can alleviate that, at least to a point by selecting, for example 4th gear. It may be in 4th a bit longer than necessary, but I don't like when there's an upshift, then an immediate downshift which occurs on some hills on my commute. With this automatic transmission, I don't miss a manual. I'll also admit, modern automatics typically return better fuel economy than manual transmissions.
  7. I've got a 1993 Corolla with a gray interior. I am trying to find seats, or at least seat covers, that are original. I'd be grateful for any help.
  8. First time owner of a Toyota we ordered in 2022 waited 9 months for our 2023 Highlander Limited to be delivered. What a disappointment this car has been after 1 year of driving. This car is so over engineered in all the wrong areas. There are so many areas to cover it would require a book the size of the owners manual. First and foremost the car requires you to have a phone with you and linked to your car to be able to have audio and navigation. Yep, Android Auto or Apple iOS because after 1 year introductory trial Toyota requires owner to pay a monthly subscription fee for onboard navigation. This is complete crap! When you pay the crazy price for a new vehicle today the navigation should be life using the vehicles onboard satelite antenna and not require a monthly subscription fee. Second the car does not recognize the driver by the key fob. Again in order to be recognized the car requires you to have your mobile phone with bluetooth enabled and linked to the cars entertainment center. Well what if I don't have a smart phone? You can drive the car as a "guest"!!! Next on my list of gripes, when you by a new vechicle you should be able to configure the car to your driving preference. Entirely too many sensors alarming everytime I back into my garage to the point the sensors and alarms are useless. who needs this is maybe a new driver or someone who truly can't see? Now, you can disable these annoying sensors but now your dashboard has a bunch of idiot lights on display everytime the car is running to remind you that you have disabed sensors. This is just crazy. Car owners should be able to configure their vehicles to operate to their driving preference without monthly subscription Fees$$ for a service to use technology they bought and paid for and without the requirement of having a mobile phone linked to the cars media center. I continue my frustration with the quality of the Toyota key fob. Our key fob battery had to be replaced in less than 1 year time which is crazy. We have american made Ford vehicle with a smart key fob in which the battery lasted over 5 years before we replaced it. Additionally the Toyota key fob (or smart key) has a terrible range where you need to be within 50 feet of the vehicle for the vehicle to recognize the Key. Our Ford previoiusly mentioned has a range of about 200 yards and could be further. One more issue I have with our Toyota is there is no way to mechanically start our Highlander in case the key fob battery dies. There is a mechanical key located inside of the key fob but this mechanical key only unlocks the car doors. In a pinch, the mechanical key can also be used to open the key fob case to replace the key fob battery. According to Toyota if the key fob battery dies, you can use the mechanical key to unlock and gain access to the car then hold the smart key fob to the cars start button to start the car. I don't trust this notion and we now keep a spare CR2032 battery in our Toyota console just in case. Our Toyota Highlander is a little noisy driving down the road. You hear a sound of wind and not sure this is caused by the R & L side mirror placement of just poor weather sealing around the doors and windows. I have gotten use to this noise but rather then spend engineering resources on sensors and alarms, focus the engineers on making a quieter ride. Car design is poorly done as well. The media center display should be more seamlessly integrated into the flow of the dash. Instead the display stands about 1 inch above the dash board. There is plenty of room to lower the height of the display, integrate into the overall dash height and remove the needless extra storage space that is below the storage and charging space. Exterior car design could have much better lines, stream line and less boxy front end and grill. I could probably go on but will stop my rant here. Sorry to say, very disappointed in Toyota. We paid $60k for our 2023 Highlander Limited Hybrid and what I thought would be our last new vehicle. Now, we are seriously considering shopping for new vehicle to replace our car. :(
  9. Looking for a speedometer replacement for an MR 2 Toyota 1988 car. More details can follow.
  10. I just ordered a new Navigation DVD for my 2011 Tundra. The same disk I already have came in. So - has that nav disk been discontinued? If so, what is a good radio to update my 2011?
  11. I have a 2011 Tundra Limited and a 2016 Avalon Hybrid Limited. Looking for information upgrading my 2011 Tundra
  12. Did you give them a wheel to start or did they do yours from one their had>. Looks great.
  13. What did the dealer advise you to do about this?
  14. Hello Dear Members: I am new owner of Toyota Camry since 2022. This car has been sleeping in a covered parking lot in North Vancouver BC Canada. The storage insurance policy issued by ICBC is available and has been used only one or two month per year by the owner when coming back to Vancouver Canada. This Camry is eligible for a COLLECTOR plate in 01/01/2025. It has real mileage of 110K only and the services was done in Toyota dealership in Burnaby BC by its meticulous owner and all of the receipts are available from day one. No accident and no dent or scratches. It is excellent for COLLECTORS and is one of the rarest Toyota Camry in North of America. The tires and breaking pads and transmission and breaking fluid and changed in 2023. An anti theft lock and oil change device (sucks oil from engine by nuzzle) and a brand new cover, and white LED headlights are all included worth of ($150 + $130 + $180 +$360 = $820). Thanks, Owner. (Tel: 604 928 5234)
  15. TPMS light is off for the first 5 minutes of driving then the TPMS dash light flashes intermittently and then after a few more minutes the TPMS dash light just tays on. So, first 5 minutes of driving its OK; then light starts flashing; then it goes on and stays on but occasionally goes off for a while. Had all four tire TPMS sensors checked and (at that time all four were OK and transmitting). AAA rated garage stated it probably was the TPMS receiver located behind the gas filler area but panels must come off (an hour labor which at Toyota is $159). Used two different Toyota dealers to check my Receiver model # using my VIN and they came up with a receiver model #. I ordered the part from an online toyota dealer. The AAA garage then compared the new Toyota OEM TPMS receiver (in toyota wrapping) and using a long mirror (to not take an hour to remove cover panels) saw that one connector was rectangular and one was square so the new toyota part could not be replaced. The local Toyota dealer thought that maybe Toyota shipped the wrong part in the right bag so they ordered another using my VIN. it came in with the same wrong connector as the one I purchased from a remote Toyota dealer. Therefore Toyota's part iD or my Toyota wiring harness is wrong. A 3rd toyota dealer that my daughter uses tells me that they have NEVER seen a TPMS receiver to bad. So, now it will probably cost me $300-300 dollars to have the dealer investigate what Toyota screwed up and then another $325 for the correct part if it is the wrong receiver. I don't know what it will cost if the TPMS wiring harness is wrong? I'm wondering if anyone has seen this symptom before; wondering if perhaps the 8 yr old battery powered TPMS sensors in each wheel might be INTERMITTENT? I really don't want to pay $500 to $600 dollar to fix the flashing light as I could just put a sticker over the flashing tire light on the dash so it is not annoying. If anyone has any idea's or experience please let me know.......... OH; TIRES PRESSURES ARE ALL THE RIGHT PRESSURE and there also are pressure reading caps that I put on the valve stems to ensure that the pressure is not changing.

  18. Hmmm. I guess the 2024 is too new for most of you to venture comment.
  19. Issue has been determined kind of. Took vehicle to dealer and after they spent several hours troubleshooting. Dealer indicated that there were no errors when using the OBD tools. They took the vehicle for a spin and verified the issue. When the primary tech could not determine issue a senior tech took it for a test drive and duplicated the issue. Finally, after I was waiting for five hours the dealership indicated they found the problem. They indicated they disconnect and charged the battery. After that everything worked great. They recommended replacing the battery, but it was too close to closing. I took the vehicle home and its been several weeks now and everything still works fine without doing anything. SO, I am thinking it was the dealership fixed the issue by cleaning the primary battery contacts. So, this experince cost me about $200, but the dealer ended up doing a great job. Shout out to Carson City Toyota in that they did a great job.
  20. Hello - I had a 2007 Tacoma. A great truck, but for various reasons traded that for a 2010 Camry LE 2.5L. I was surprised how much I liked the Camry when I test drove it - even more surprised how much I like the automatic. The 6 speed is sweet. For years I bought manual transmissions when I could, as the case in the Tacoma. I realize today's automatics typically return better fuel economy than 5 speed manuals. I like the tall gearing on the highway, only about 150 rpm more than my V8 truck. 2010-11 Camrys are rarely listed for sale around here, and when they are, the sell quickly. Of course at this age, it's got high mileage but I hear so many stories about Camrys with over 200k, and even 300k miles. And, being at retirement age (but still working for now) the car at some point won't be accumulating a lot of miles. The first Camry I test drove has a 2011 V6 - fantastic engine. But, driving normally I didn't find the 2.5L to be significantly different. It has plenty of power for me. I'd say this is the smoothest and quietest 4 cylinder engine I've experienced, even more so than Hondas that I've owned.
  21. We are on our second Camry hybrid, 21 and now a 22. First we noticed the car was stained by the fuel cap. Then one day I parked it in the garage with a full tank of gas, came back later and had gas on the floor. (Cap was on correctly) cleaned up the gas and an hour later more had blown out. We traded the 21 due to this issue thinking it was a one off with this car. (Toyota replaced the cap and painted the car) and the issue still existed. Now the 22 has the same issue. Anyone else see any stains on your car?
  22. you may want to check with Ebay.com I did a quick search and there appears to be many options. $58ea
  23. Have a two door 1994 v6 Camry coup gray for sale. (has 182,000 miles on it). This car was my wife's car, and then all three children used this car before during and after college. It is an amazing vehicle, and my goal was to restore this family car to the original condition. It has dents and scraps and needs a complete paint job. The dash needs to be replaced due to cracks and heat damage of thirty years of Arizona, and it needs transmission work and many other little things to bring back to original condition. Local restoration places have cost around 10K to restore to original condition, which I would love to do, but because of health issues I just cant afford it or the ability to do some of the work myself. You can find them once in awhile for 8k/10k on the web, so it is a long term investment. They are year by year harder to find. So I'm looking to sale this to someone whom who would recondition this car, know the history of it and be pound to own this Camry that was made in Japan in 1994 as the first year they introduced the two door coup. Have loved this car for so many years, and has a lot of history, I even still have original window sticker. Yes it needs restoration. and yes it 30 years old, but still has its has amazing power for a two door car, and like they said, the car will outlive its owner. The right person can see this car would be a great car to own and restore. Two door coupes are getting rarer and rarer, but its about the car and how well it rides and drives that puts the joy in owning it. Anyone who would like photos and other information, please reach out to me at my email. Thank you tlwomack@outlook.com
  24. Hello... I'm new to this forum and interested in buying the upcoming hybrid version of the 2024 Tacoma. I've yet to order but I'm close. I doubt if I'll get one in the order queue before football season, but who knows? Anyway, what are your thoughts regarding the new 2024 models, with or without the hybrid option?
  25. The pre collision system needs to be removed. 2023 TUNDRA It is the worst "safety" option I've ever seen and it really needs to be recalled. The PCS will make a huge noise and make you feel as though you just got into a big accident, when in reality you pulled up to the concrete barrier too close. I don't need my vehicle to think for me, and I don't ever want it to brake for me, -I'm perfectly willing to take ALL risks that my arise while driving without PCS since we've all been doing it all of our lives. I have to physically turn it off every time I get in my truck or risk getting startled when the "technology" thinks I need to an immediate brake! This is very dangerous to me and extremely unsafe to have in a vehicle. This PSC feature makes we want to sell my 23' Tundra and get a 24' Ford F150. Very disappointed with the PCS feature. Toyota should recall this feature and have it shut down or at least make it something we can disconnect or turn off without having to turn it off every time you start your vehicle. Very Annoying!!
