I agree, best to just get fluid changed during your next oil change. Especially is you're coming up on your 100,000 Toyota maintenance soon. Matrix is great car and should run for a good long life.

It is most likely the clutch but could possibly be the transmission. Does your Celica clutch work fine when shifting into other gears?

I would try contact cement (very cheap, glue to both sides),plastic epoxy or fiberglass filler. Your Camry dash should be good as new!

True story humanoid, and aftermarket is a little risky. I definitely agree, however, that the new Toyota Avalon is incredible, so spacious and powerful with smooth ride.

I have to admit I have new Venza and Toyota entune technology. It's incredible, definitely worth it. I use to use my iPhone but this is so much easier and safer.

There are a few other things you can do, like check tire pressure, park in garage (covered/shaded), check filters, but regardless of those things, no new or used Camry should be getting 13 mpg. I might have it looked at again.

Manuals are usually very preventative against any unwarranted maintenance issues. Just keep getting your tires checked, oil changed, brake pads and such and you should be fine. Toyota Highlanders are known for longevity!

Hmmm that's a pretty specific area. Try asking your Toyota dealer for a point in the right direction. Dealers usually know the best places for Toyota parts and repair. There's always the google fallback as well.

I drive an 07' Toyota Yaris, and I get about 36mpg highway. I check tires regularly, oil changes every 3 months, and I keep it parked in a garage - which helps with fuel efficiency. You might want to have it looked at because one of the biggest benefits of driving a Yaris is the incredible fuel economy.

It could be the fuel pressure regulator. You might want to take your Camry in for a fuel pressure test. It could also potentially be a battery or starter issue. Is it making in weird noises? Does the engine even turn over when you try right away?

What are everyone thoughts on the newest Toyota Prius, coming early in 2012- Prius Plug-In Hybrid. It was recently nominated as GreenCarReports best hybrids for 2012. I've heard that the engine engages automatically as you need more power, so drivers prefer it to the less powerful Leaf or Volt.

Most often it's an issue with the battery. Could be corroded wires, need new battery, or perhaps a problem with the starter. I'd take a look under the hood of your Toyota. Check for corrosion on the battery, or take your car in for Toyota maintenance.

What about the new Camry do you like? My sister is considering buying the 2012, but also has her eye on the 2011 Corolla Sport.

Did you check through your Avalon's owners manual?

I'm pretty sure there's a youtube video for the Sienna. Just type in "reprogram keyless entry sienna" or something like that in the search bar.

If you have any friends/coworkers with experience, I would ask to see if they could assist you with the Highlander. It's possible that there's a bit of drilling involved through the dash, so if you're uncomfortable, just get an estimate for installation.. see if it's worth it. Good luck!

This was a while ago, but if you search Prius diagnostics on a search engine, you'll be able to get more model specific information. I would ask your dealer about ways to save on battery life when not using the car. Luckily Public facilities are going to be installing more charging stations so this won't be as much of a problem. Good luck!

I'm considering buying an '09 used Venza from a friend, but it is without an owner's manual. It's in pretty good condition overall. Is this something I should worry about or is there enough info online for me to learn about the car? Thoughts?? Thanks!

So interesting! So they make the Matrix there but call it a Corolla? I'm not sure how that works for tracking global sales... very nice set up though.

It actually sounds like an electrical problem, as long as the brakes are working fine on your Corolla. If you still want to find/check the reservoir, its usually on the drivers side between the engine and the cabin (aka next to the firewall).

Love the classic look of the Celica. Are you looking to beef it up for sale or for keeps? My dad had one when I was growing up that looked just like this... thanks for bring back the memories, man!

That is so crazy.. my sister's old Camry did the same blue smoke disappearing act... Since the incident she had just relied on her regular mechanic to take care of all of its maintenance.

Sounds like your Toyota dealer might've pulled a fast one, whether they knew it or not. Have you checked 'complaint' websites to see if anyone else had similar problems with that dealer??

If you've check the fuses on the Corolla, you should be good to go. Sounds like a problem with the radio itself. If you're still unsure just ask a mechanic.

If your engine or drive train code on the Avalon are set to conserve power your trac system is turned off. Check out your direct clutch speed sensor or have a mechanic take a look.
