Toyota Problems

I doubt that you have a turbo problem, but you need to have a mechanic check to be sure. A mechanic would be able to find the cause of your problem and fix it.

The Crown was a well-built, reliable car in its day, but you’re buying an old car so you should expect to have problems due to age and presumably high kilometres. The best thing to do is to contact a Toyota club and ask them for advice. They are the experts and should be able to help you.

On such a new car there should be nothing major to be concerned about, and you’re on a good thing with the Prado, which makes it even less likely that it would have an issue. Simply make sure that it has been serviced according to Toyota’s recommendations, and that it hasn’t been crashed.

The cost for replacing your car keys will depend on the variant and year. If you have a spare you can go to an automotive locksmith, but if not you will need to talk to your dealer. You can read more about how to replace your car keys here.

There’s always the Toyota Landcruiser.

It isn’t something that has appeared on our radar, but I can’t believe that Toyota wouldn’t be able to fix it. You should consult Toyota’s customer assistance people and lodge your concerns with them.
