Anyone else notice a difference in how their new car runs after the dealership's first fill-up?

I recently bought a new car, and after the dealership filled up the gas tank for the first time, it ran super smoothly. But once that initial tank was empty and I filled it up myself, it feels like it’s running a bit differently. Am I just overthinking this, or could it be the type of gas I used? I’m wondering if dealerships use a specific grade or quality of gas, or if there's another reason why it feels different now. Anyone else notice this, or am I tripping?

Drive pulse is showing a trip I didn't take

So when I look at my trip history in drive pulse, I see a 1km / 1min trip in New York. There's no address and it doesn't show a route, just the picture of the map.

I live in Canada, almost 4000km away. I haven't been to New York in 8 years.

Why would this be happening?

2024 Toyota corolla LE

Im wondering if anyone can share their experience with this car. Im looking for a simple and affordable first car for my wife and have been reccommended the Corolla. Im looking at the 2024 Corolla LE and it looks simple and compact the only thing im curious about is the (CVT) transmission, and the rubberband effect Im hearing about. Im not a mechanic and have never had a car with this type of transmission. How does it run on the interstate? Im debating if I should choose this car or perhaps look at the Honda Civic. any feed back on this car would be appreciated.

Parts availability for the Crown Signia

I’m eyeing the Crown Signia but parts availability has me worried given it’s a first generation product.

Is this something to be worried about?

I have an Outback currently, so a hybrid wagon with the Toyota reliability sounds awesome. Still worried about parts though in case it does break. A lot of parts are probably common among other vehicles, but stuff like the windows probably are not.

As a 4Runner owner, why does the 3rd gen Sequoia even exist???

First of all, it's expensive as shit.

Second of all, it's a highly capable truck, but in the off-roading community, it's extremely rare to see one. Most of us that do actual off-roading are 4Runner, Wrangler, or Bronco owners. I can assure you, these trucks are 99.999999999% all bougie mobiles that very few well-to-do people even own. Most of these people always go for Lexus and the German brands got the same price points, hell, even I would.

The 4Runner is the go-to Toyota off-roader, why did Toyota even bother??? I know it's Tundra based, but even the Tundra MASSIVELY outsells the Sequioa. This year so far from my research, 130k Tundras have been sold vs 21k Sequoias that have been sold. I honestly don't understand why these behemoths exist. If I wanted a bougiee soccer mom mobile, rather buy a top spec Grand Highlander Limited and save a few dollars in the process.

Toyota-Aisin 8-speed transmission technical questions for a Wikipedia article…

Someone on Wikipedia merged all Toyota 8-speed transmissions into one article which IMO is wrong. Previously the AWF8xx FWD transaxle had its own dedicated page and the Aisin TL-80SN (aka. AA 80E) had one. After reading the article yesterday I made various edits to it where I mentioned there are multiple 8-speed transmission families that are essentially completely unrelated other than having 8-speeds.

TL/DR:

Clearly just looking at the two transmission families side by side you can see they share completely different housings, torque capacities, overall size, etc. Wikipedia user “MusikGeniessier” who originally merged the articles reverted several of my changes describing the differences and modified my introductory paragraph to read “Aisin and Toyota offer various 8-speed automatic transmissions for use in both longitudinal and transverse engine vehicles, based on a common, globally patented gearset concept.” (Bold part his addition)

It continues…

Beginning with the AW F8 transmission Aisin and Toyota derived a transverse engine variant by adapting this globally patented gearset concept to fit into the same space as the previous generation U6xx Lepelletier gear mechanism-based 6-speed transmissions to increase the overall ratio spread, reduce gear steps, and increase the torque capacity for transverse engine vehicles as well.”

To me having these two transmissions together would sort of be like saying VW’s DQ350 DSG used in transverse FWD models like the Golf GTI and the DL501 DCT used in longitudinal engine vehicles like a Porsche Panamera are the same thing because each has 7-gears.

A link to the now combined Wikipedia page can be found here. Is it the opinion of folks that these two transmission families that debuted 7 years apart and share no common parts should be lumped together, or do you also agree this makes it seem like they’re one in the same when they’re not?

RAV4, CRV, or CX5 (2017-2020)?

Looking to upgrade to an SUV. Ideally looking for something sub $20k that will make it to 200k miles with minimal issues (aka no transmission problems or head gasket). Tried a 2018 RAV4 today and wife liked it but wasnt crazy about it. She loved the 2018 CRV but im weary of the oil dilution and head gasket problems. Open to all suggestions!

91 Camry sluggish

I recently bought a 91 Camry DX. 145k on the odometer. Guy who sold it to me claimed to have just had the transmission "rebuilt". Well, the genius who rebuilt it must've been blind because 40 miles away from buying it, the transmission took a dive and left me stranded, sounded like there were aluminum clunking around in there.

Anyway, ordered and installed a used one. Shifting fine. Currently I'm having an issue with it being sluggish as hell. It was sluggish before I replaced the transmission too. Pedal to the floor to get up hills. Took it to the Auto Zone mechanics and they claimed it needed a new EGR valve. He pointed me toward the wrong one, didn't fit, so he took it apart along with the throttle body and cleaned all the gunk out. Hardly did anything to make a difference.

So I sawed the catalytic converter off and that helped some. Pedal gives more response. Less often do I have to put the pedal to the floor to go uphill. But yet and still, it's just a little bit sluggish. Trust me, I don't expect this thing to be a race car but own another 4cyl Toyota and it's pedal response/acceleration ain't like this. Also sometimes there's a no start issue, after driving it for awhile. This has lead my unprofessional opinion to order a new fuel pump kit.

Anyone have any advice or input on this? Would be greatly appreciated. Other than this issue, the car is in immaculate shape. I mean it is beautiful. The interior is 10/10 and the exterior is perfect, just need a paint job. As a black woman, I feel like mechanics are gonna try and get over on me as they do with women in general. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank ya'll!

Help with title release for vehicle financed through Toyota Financial Services!

I moved from state A to state B. My car is financed through Toyota Financial Services. I am trying to title and register my car in state B.

I send the required paperworks to TFS to release the title to the state DMV. It has been over 5 weeks. Just got a letter from the DMV stating they do not have the required documents yet!

Anyone dealt with this? How long does it take for TFS to send requested documents to the DMV?

Is your Toyota a manual or an automatic transmission?

Mine is an automatic... I couldn't stand manual transmission. Having to play gymnastics with the clutch pedal and the stick looks so damn annoying and inconvenient...

Southeast Toyota payoff check

My 2024 4Runner was recently bashed by some nasty hail. Decided to settle with the estimate, take the check and sell it to CarMax (vehicle didn’t total and it would have been about 3 months to fix). The check I received is addressed to my name and “VT Inc. as Trustee World Omni LT” which seems to be SE Toyota Financial. I assume the check needs to be sent to Toyota directly so they can put it towards my payoff amount on the vehicle (~30k) before I sell it. When I mail this in do I just need to sign the back and that’s it? Is a signature even required? USPS ok or FedEx safer for tracking?Want to make sure I’m doing this right since I would rather not play mail tag with Toyota.

2022 Corolla LE - no aftermarket wiper blades are fitting

Hi I am in USA. I have a 2022 Toyota Corolla LE with Japanese VIN. Yesterday I went to O'Reilly's and none of the wiper blades they had fit on my driver's side wiper j hook. We realized that the j hook is a little bent/tilted in this model. Anyone knows which ones would fit on my vehicle other than going to the dealership and asking them for OEM?

How to tell if wiper blade is OEM

I bought a used Toyota corolla 2019 LE 13,000 miles. On top of the wiper blade passenger side it says: L40B. 1590 R05B23YI with a tiny QR code that my phone can't pick up. Any help with would be appreciated. My goal is to replace the inserts instead of buying new wiper blades. TIA

2016 Camry help!

I'm looking for some help with some issues with a 2016 Toyota Camry. I keep throwing the follows codes: P0171, p0171, p0441 and p0455 which are all related to fuel / evap issues. I tried reset and it comes back on quickly along with the stability control light.

I have replaced the canister purge valve already on the vehicle and cleaned the throttle body which was pretty dirty.

Recently after I get gas the vehicle doesn't want to start at all unless I hold the key down for a bit and keep trying, once running it's fine. I know you're not supposed to but tried filling up with vehicle on to get home and the rpm's dropped and vehicle stalled.

Any ideas what I should be focusing on and what could cause these issues I'm having. Car seems to run completely fine otherwise. Thanks so much!
