Our car died yesterday.
It wouldn’t start and there were all kinds of flashing warning signals going off everywhere!
It surprises me as it’s a new 2019 Toyota.
They are usually reliable cars!
We bought it from a car dealership and it was previously owned by a manager that worked at the dealership. It had extremely low mileage when we bought it.
I hope that it’s not a lemon.
We are going to have it towed to our local Toyota dealerships service station to have it repaired.
Yes it gets cold here, I live in the northeastern part of the US.
The thing is I started up the car almost everyday to keep the engine warm before it died.
I think there could be a problem with the electrical system also and I don’t know if our warranty covers this.
We are a Toyota family. Everyone in my family owns a Toyota. The only problem we’ve had so far is their car batteries. They seem to die really quickly, even as new. That’s my only bad experience. I sure hope you didn’t get a lemon.
Not meaning to freak you out, but cars that have been caught up in flooding can be cleaned up nicely enough to sell, but are never reliable (as an example). Moving forward, don’t buy a used newer unit that you can’t get a Carfax on or that they won’t offer an option to purchase full warranty on.
That’s what I do. Well, Cuz that’s what I can afford…
I don’t understand people who can spend $15,000+ on a used car that has no warranty. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. My powertrain warranty runs out in like 18 months and I’m paranoid about replacing something expensive. But I can’t afford to trade in every 5 years…
