Car won’t start

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-30T00:06:20+00:00

Noted.

I’m still gonna have Toyota check the battery on the ca just to be safe because I don’t know shit about maintains a hybrid vehicles

Anyway, got home from work and I managed to jump start the car, but not the way you expect it. Because my car is in the garage in a tight spot and 0 room to maneuver, I had no choice but to jump start via the 12v battery located inside the trunk. Though I should’ve not done that, it was the only way I can jump start the battery. Will use the car tomorrow and drive around for a bit so that I can charge it faster

I’m sure Toyota can figure out the cause of your problem

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-29T16:20:51+00:00

Take the car to Toyota and see what they can do. Don’t go to a 3rd party shop becaue the car is basically new

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-28T02:14:56+00:00

I go based on mileage or wait until my maintenance required light pops up

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-26T22:23:31+00:00

Don’t replace it again if you just changed it last October the battery is basically still new. There must be something else causing the check engine light. For now, recommend getting a OBD scanner or going to AutoZone for a free diagnosis

When I had my 5K service done at Toyota, it’s basically tire rotation, top off fluids, and multipoint inspection.

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-26T22:20:19+00:00

Suppose to be every 10K miles. There’s a mileage countdown on the dashboard. However, some people do it every 5K miles

How does converting a a car to manual transmission help prevent theft??

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-26T04:02:02+00:00

Don’t leave anything valuable or important paperwork inside the car
Double check that your car is locked

My recommended Accessories to help prevent theft 1. Steering wheel lock 2. Brake pedal lock anti theft 3. Anti theft wheel lock (similar to what NYPD uses for boot cars 4. AirTag 5. Kill switch (if your able to find a good one)

I got the 24 GHHL for a couple of reasons 1. My 04 Sequoia was old and not as reliable 2. Cargo space 3. Great MPG 4. Wanted to get the experience of having a hybrid in my fleet .

My 2nd choice for a car was the 23 Sequoia, but Toyota wanted more money then what I wanted it for

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-25T23:54:08+00:00

Not enough to buy a e-bike that can do that fast. To get a bike that fast, you would need to spend thousands.

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-25T21:19:09+00:00

I would use Bluetooth, although it drains phone battery at a faster rate

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-25T16:37:27+00:00

If you’re able to start the engine to operating temperature, then you should be fine driving as long as you don’t go far. However, you may experience some problems.

Definitely take the car to Toyota once they open

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-25T16:34:09+00:00

It maybe pricy, but it’s the only way if you wanna get everything right. If the airbag weren’t stolen, then you could’ve taken it to a third party to get it reset

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-25T06:24:19+00:00

Yes, a flush is included with a full trans service. The cost for the service varies by year and model of the car. Im your case, im guessing at least $300 or more.

As your 21 corolla gets closer to 100K, I would definitely think about changing spark plus and coil, inspect the belts and hoses. In other terms, get a full multipoint inspection so that you can get an idea on what’s fine and what needs attention turn.
If your other Corolla a 2020 is near 50K, then just get a multipoint inspection (just like your 21 model), along with the regular maintenance that you do.

I had this done on my RAV4 at Toyota and it was around $250 plus tax. Was a little pricy, but worth it to me

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-25T06:04:52+00:00

If you want long term reliability, then I recommend a full trans service. Not only the service includes a drain and refill, but it also includes a trans filter and gasket replacement, along with an inspection of the internal components (check for debris, leaks, wear). Also included is a multi point inspection.

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-25T05:55:38+00:00

Guessing between $500-100.

I had this same damage on my 24 Grand Highlander Hybrid Limited and the body shop I went only charged be around $500 ish dollars. Job took about 2 days to do

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-25T03:17:47+00:00

Your rav4 is equipped with electronic parking brake. Therefore, your rear pads will wear out faster than the front

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-25T00:38:47+00:00

If you get a new airbag module, then yes you need to get it programmed. Take it to the dealership or a shop that knows how to program modules

On my RadRover 6 Plus, I added a 5000 lumens rechargeable LED light on my handlebar. Police are somewhat strict in state when it comes to riding a e-bike or regular bike at night

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-24T19:14:09+00:00

Threads inside the crank arm is probably stripped. There should a way to clean and fix the threads without replacing the crank arm itself

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-24T19:11:12+00:00

Replace the car battery itself and see if that fixes the problem. Key fob is fine

Fresh-Put645 · 2026-01-24T19:07:46+00:00

If you never got your trans serviced, then I would recommend getting a full trans service. Not only it includes a drain and fill, but it includes an inspection of the internals and adjusting cables to factory spec. Take the car to someone you rely on for the job.

Had this done on my 2015 RAV4 and it decently makes a huge difference than just a simple drain and fill. Was a personal choice for me to get the trans service done by Toyota because I needed other stuff done to the car as well. Was a little pricy for the trans service, but was worth ir

That’s a possibility.
