Also the trans doesn't seem to know what it's doing, going at 110 down the hwy and it won't pick up top gear unless I take my foot completely off the pedal. Other times in my street doing 50 it grabs top and vibrates before changing up. Going in for 1st service Thursday and I'll be telling them. Great car shit tranny.

Problem we experience is a jolting motion at 40km when braking, without fail. Sometimes it does it when excelerating at 80km - at first they greased the tail shaft. That didn't work. At 1,000km service the dealer replaced the tail shaft and no difference. Since then the car has been driven by dealer's mechanics and tested - they found irregularities in the way it drives but as yet can't fix the problem. It's like the computer has no idea when to change gears, does stupid things, over revving then dropping. And the fuel consumption is horrible. Driving the lemon in Eco and it does 250km on half a tank. We have had it! Today we spoke to Consumer Affairs. We want the car fixed or replaced. This is ridiculous. Brand new car driving like a dog.

I think you will find most have these issue's, the tailshaft clunk is very common, the fuel use is the gauge as after it says empty you can still do another 150km's. In regards to the auto they can be indecisive at times which I think is the software, try driving it on power mode and see what it does, I think there needs to be a software update for the auto, and Toyota will never do a recall, they always keep it under wraps and slowly do the fix after about 60,000km's of whinging
