I don't have any statistic, but I'd suspect that despite the larger margin on XSE, the bread and butter Corolla are lower and especially mid versions. The car is at the end of its life cycle and appear to be marketed as the (very good) value option VS newer/more refined competition. Not that the...

The tire simply need to be at the preset pressure programmed in the system (generally the manufacturer recommended PSI, if you haven't change it). The light might take a while to go off : I don't have sensors on my winter wheels and when I put back my summer wheels with sensors, the light...

Right. Reverse flush is definitely a no-no. Power flush is a no-no for non previously maintained transmission as it can displace settled gunk, either where it shouldn't or away from wear parts that were literally working by virtue of this "gunk glue" until then. It might be OK for preventive...

Well, depending on your mileage, you could theoretically still be on manufacturer warranty for a few months (up to two years for powertrain). Which, when such is the case, is another argument to save your money ! :)

I understand but it’s a bit restrictive to eliminate the self-insurance option VS those “warranties” when trying to find the “best” one. Despite their name, those “warranties” are actually insurances. They sure make sense for a house, costly goods, health issues, as the value insured is high...

Which means that part of any contaminant or degradation is still there. I'd also say go to the mechanic (and chose one who knows what he is doing) unless you can totally flush it yourself.

That's the gist of it, although some modern 4 cylinders are quite performing. I always like to show the William-Renault experiment to people who say a CVT kills performance... It was dismissed by F1 for the advantage it gave to the car and, therefore, the cost for other teams to catch-up with...

Have one since October 2013. Smooth, efficient, zero problems. Close to 8 years worldwide for the specific unit in Corolla (5 years for NA) and no particular surge or trend in complaints (Consumer Reports, True Delta, JD Power) beside inevitable odd units from a man-made product. Which says...

You're right mentioning it. I didn't since OP says the behavior only started a few months ago but it's a fact that those car (particularly in CVT/Valvematic combo, despite being a full second "faster" than other variants by the numbers) aren't designed for "pedal to metal". Trying to accelerate...

From your summary description, the list of possible cause is too long to hope for a diagnostic on forums: MAF or its sensor ring leaking, air intake clogged or leaking, throttle sensor, temp sensor, air filter, bad gas, fuel pump/filter/pressure, injection, spark plugs, catalytic converter...

About the Direct Shift CVT : https://newsroom.toyota.co.jp/en/powertrain2018/cvt/ About the new 6MT : https://newsroom.toyota.co.jp/en/powertrain2018/6mt/ About the "Dynamic Force" 2.0l : https://newsroom.toyota.co.jp/en/powertrain2018/engine/

There is also talk of a new ultra-light 6 speed manual and "Dynamic range" 2.0l engine. Only rumor for the Corolla but, coincidence or not, announced as they are about to present the euro version of the new Corolla at Geneva.

And those are the identified ones. Who knows what else might be triggered by connecting a new or updated device. For what it’s worth, Entune 3.0 ditched Blacberry QNX OS for an Auto-Grade Linux OS. On the other hand, Ford ditched Microsoft-Automative for QNX and it's was deemed as an...

No reason not to stick with 0W-20. And 40K, to me, is almost brand new ! ;)

Actually, if it was a spread defect, I'd rather have a recall ;). There was one a couple of years ago but for Corolla outside North America. And another one 25 years or so ago in North America. So nothing point to something else than an odd unit defect or, as other have mention, an over-filling...

Can't agree more... I've never cared, to say the least, for reviews raving about CarPlay/Auto and/or apps being or not being in a car. Apps and phones change much faster and more often then cars. Therefore, obsolescence and compatibility are on collision course. Most troubled units seem to be...

I don't know what kind of people you talk to but it is a known issue with it's own TSB : https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/SB-10086507-5448.pdf As you said, it's all about electronics and unfortunately, going to another brand isn't always a better option : check Honda's, Mazda's and Ford's...

So under warranty it was a manufacturing defect, not the result of over-filling (article above)

In both cases you'll only find rumors and speculations right now. More informations on the Supra in 3 weeks at the Geneva auto show, at least for the European versions (American versions may be different : think of the CH-R with 4WD and hybrid in Europe vs traction in NA or the hybrid Corolla...

Though Blacberry QNX OS definitely have more issues than it should in some types of units, I would check Honda's, Mazda's Ford's reports before assuming those have less. Right now, FCA has thousands of U-Connect units stuck in a loop... As far as batteries, those often come from the same...
