My Dad has had a MR2 from new in 2001 and had an ongoing list of problems. Has anyone heard of similar problems or had any joy with Toyota UK - his last communication was at best a brush off where they made assumptions without checking the details
They live in the Nth Yorks Moors so although very low mileage it's an infrequently used car rather than short trips - the nearest shop is a 20 mile round trip
Car purchased on 11th August 2001. Current mileage approx 10550.
07/08/2002 Battery replaced due to collapsed cell
28/10/2002 Battery won,t recharge traced to Faulty Alternator. Alternator replaced
Front & Rear brake discs changed
Front & Rear alloy wheels changed due corrosion.
21/08/2003 Battery losing power, traced to faulty starter motor. Starter replaced
Front & Rear alloy wheels corroded. Changed on 26/08/2003.
09/10/2003 Car broke down York Toyota where fault diagnosed as failed Power Steering Pump. After waiting for part and then special tool to fit it the car was repaired on 22/10/2003
12/08/2004 Front Disc brakes replaced
08/12/2005 ABS fault light investigated and found to be ABS Actuator fault.
24/02/2006 Car taken to Teesside Toyota after actuator replaced but light still
on. Found to be ECU defect.
08/03/2006 New ECU fitted, ABS fault rectified but test now shows a Traction
Control Fault Light illuminated.
09/03/2006 Further tests being undertaken to try to determine defect.
Thanks for any thoughts
