    Touchy cruise control

    No. Check your manual. You have 2 modes, specifically because Radar CC doesn't work well in every conditions (the list is half a page, including downhill beside ice rain and snow). -Press "ON" : Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode (Radar CC). You can adjust the distance to respect. -Press...

    Touchy cruise control

    Seen a few on forums. Is it on regular cruise or radar cruise when it happens. The latter is only program to work on flat road.

    Car Problem

    Without codes - and some might be found in the memory of the system even when the event isn't occuring - its hard to say (don't assume it's a trans trouble because of a YouTube video !). Could be a minor thing (bad gas, untighten gas cap) or not, In any case, minor or major, it's not unusual for...

    Most of us Probably have a "Recall" (CVT)

    Dubious source indeed… Anonymous author, anonymous alleged cases, all oddly consistent with a lawsuit against Toyota from an ex-dealer who lost his license for suspect warranty claims and property investments who argue that he was only defending consumers. Another bug is claiming that the...

    S Owners Please. Need your help.

    Bear in mind that used market vary a lot from one area to another. See what other offers/ads/dealer have to offer for the best comparison.

    Should I cancel my extended warranty?

    Sound like you're still into the "peace of mind" argument" ;) so work with that. Will a CVT repair be covered or how much would be a prorated refund for cancellation entirely depends on the fine prints of your contract so can't say more.

    CVT Issues: More with the 'Sport mode' feature?

    Same unit, different electronic. The service campaign is for all models anyway. Had mine done (they are going on in Canada). Can't say I notice a difference.

    Is the Extended Warranty worth it?

    Those are insurances, really. If you're unlucky, they could serve their purpose but the risk is calculated for them as they are, indeed, a profit source. For one unlucky customer, they have ten or twenty that paid for "peace of mind" without barely using the benefits. Also, not all plans are...

    Identify 2016 corolla s vs s plus vs s premium?

    Vs regular S : S Plus has 17" wheels and rear disc brakes, S Premium added full softex power seat (driver) and navigation ( with all models having a 6.1" screen anyway if I remember correctly for 2016).

    Automatic to Mantual Transmission Swap

    To what brothabear mention, add replacing some interior console parts. You still have some warranty. After that, if you're one of the unlucky, the cost might be overwhelming vs the value of the car. Even more if the CVT ends up failing much later, in a more genuine Corolla manner.

    Maintainence required = low mpg?

    Nope. Maybe your driving conditions have been harsher in the last days (heavier traffic, temperature...) or the car really need maintenance... How much mileage total on the car since the former owner may of last year oil change. It's suppose to be at 10K (rather 5K for "severe" conditions. By...

    Most of us Probably have a "Recall" (CVT)

    That's poor service, to say the least. My dealer always confirm appointments by phone the evening before... Anyway, a few weeks ago, dealer told me that even though there was no recall/service campaign for my car yet, it could change. And it did. I've received the letter. The campaign seem to be...

    Help new car!!!

    Your description is too vague to expect much help from a forum or even a dealer or mechanic without test-driving the car. However : ABS can make noise a few minutes after driving then, depending on conditions, on some braking. But you mention it also does it when slowing (not braking). So brakes...

    GPS Navigation system updates

    Corolla's maps are on a SD card. You'd have to transfer data from the DVD to SD card (via computer) granted what's on the DVD is fully compatible with the system. The SD card in the unit might have some specific code or format, so I'm not sure a new one would work flawlessly. Toyota does provide...

    Cvt Update MPG improved

    Suspended, not cancelled (so far). Intriguing news for those who already had the update done. :confused:

    Cvt Update MPG improved

    It's a recall - well, technically a "service campaign". Free at the dealer. You'll receive a letter, or you can check your VIN on Toyota's site. Oddly, this campaigned is suspended for now. It's discussed with more details here ...

    Most of us Probably have a "Recall" (CVT)

    As far as incriminating itself, it’s already done… especially since the outlook could turn sour from now. Even if by any luck the issue ends up not being a big deal. All of a sudden, that’s already two strikes for some owners (the issue, and the apparently wrong correction). Either the remedy...

    Miles per Tank

    Always the same suspects among : gas quality (including part of ethanol), idle time, acceleration and stopping (gradually vs on/off type of pedals operation), driving conditions (road, pavement, temperature, altitude) and some mechanical basics (air filter, tires condition). And what's left in...

    Miles per Tank

    Yes, on highway only, 50+ is not uncommon, at least with mine.
