Scotty do you believe it is liberal policies destroying car reliability? Seems they are always pushing more green ideas, diesels are junk now because of non stop emissions problems because liberals want 0 emissions, and pushing manufacturers to get almost impossible fuel mileage is making has cars less reliable. The word is that’s why toyota was forced to put a v6 in the tundra because of liberal government regulations.

I've had something similar happen with my 2005 Prius; it could be driven for hours and you might actually need a coat even with the climate control set to 70f... Unless the car was driven at 75mph or so, then it produced good heat. I had a 1995 Nissan Sentra that always produced heat, it was nice while it lasted.

heard the exact same advice about the parking break on Car Talk...been doing it that way ever since...glad to hear that you agree😉

I had no heat in my Celica after changing the thermostat. I think all that I needed to do was run the car for an hour with the cap off the antifreeze reservoir and/or radiator. There must have been a bubble near the interior radiator inside the cabin that supplies heat to the fans in the cabin. Leaving the caps off and letting the car get up to temp some how pushed the bubble out and I got heat again. The mechanic didn't even charge me to fix it. He said he took the cap off and let it run.

This is why I like my 04 Celica. Beyond the tech involved with VVTL-i, it's a very simple car inside and out. Easy to fix, because it's not overdesigned and overly complex. Still gets me 36mpg on the freeway at 135K, and is absolutely fun to drive.

The only thing "unreliable" was new/overzealous drivers, who misshifted the closely geared 6-speed and blew engines. Later years had steps to counter this, like wider shifter gate spacing and lower rev limiters. As long as you treated the engine nicely by maintaining it properly, it treated you fine in return.

So newer cars are becoming more and more scarce. What a lot of people have taken to doing is buying older analog cars, until the cars dealers can get this computer chip mess sorted out.

bought a then new 2000 toyota echo. brakes were scary. my wife's car and she had real problems getting it to stop. I took it to the dealer. the mechanic showed me how the brakes worked and said. be patient for a little while a fix is coming. about a month later it went back to the dealer. toyota spent almost 1000 bucks worth of changes and fixed the car. its still going strong today. they changed all the friction material. the power brake booster and master cylinder so things can be problematic but keep after toyota and hope they fix it.

I'm sure toyota is looking into this cause they're reputation is at stake, they probably need more examples of that issue in order to do a full recall if needed, I would give toyota the benefit of the doubt, they are top notch and they are entitled to a few stinkers in the bunch I'm sure they'll get that fixed.

Just make sure that if it has a cable , that it stays lubricated . The parking brakes up in the rust belt usually seize up after a few years from the corrosion.

I have cleaned catalytic converters with laundry detergents. You'll have to soak it for a few hours but it does work.

Get an infrared thermometer and check the temperature of the radiator's inlet and outlet hoses after 10 miles of driving. It should read +150F. I suspect there is a malfunction of the sensor and/or valve that divert hot coolant from the engine to the heater's core located in the cabin. This pathway is closed if the user does not command HEAT.

Funny about the parking brake, or Emergency brake....Years ago I had a 1964 New Yorker Salon...When the car was in gear, the "Emergency" brake would not lock. You could use it just like a regular brake pedal. Then, when you put the car in park, it would function like a regular "Parking" brake...

Scotties story reminds me of heaters in just about any 60's Chev. with a V-8 with settings (warm, hot & roast your weenies.. ;-).

Same problem with my 2018 Civic with the 1.5 turbo. Too efficient

I have the same problem with my 2019 Camry SE 2.5. Dealer reprogrammed it and it is better but never gets very hot when it's below 40 degrees outside.

You are unfortunately right, Scotty. Many CH-R owners in my country found out that this vehicle does not possess the usual toyota reliability. Indeed, many CHR had their engines damaged when the gasoline that was used was found to be contaminated with manganese. Interestingly, other cars with turbo engines were also damaged, for e.g. BMW, Mercedes etc. However, non turbo cars were much less affected.

I have a 2021 CHR and the heat will blow you out of the car. The defroster temp has to be set though. It's a pain because you can't just flip a knob, but I live with it.

Issue with #1 question is a hot/cold valve located in a engine bay and run by a motor or a wire . In summer when you use AC it turns heat off so no hot antifreeze runs into a cabin heat radiator. In winter it runs hot antifreeze into a cabin radiator. This is nothing to do with a thermostat. Even an amateur mechanic can figure this out.

Sometimes when I have my car in the shop I go out on the floor and talk to the mechanics and ask them why they can't fix the car. They say it's hard to fix a car when it's engineered wrong in the first place. You see this with all brands, not just Toyota. Most modern cars are over-engineered to make more profit for the manufacturer and dealer. Some people use a car for transportation and they don't need all those "features" and "options" --- which are often not optional.

Love the great information u are always giving. I just bought a new 2021 Toyota Carolla and now facing its first winter. I'm too old to be cold. Hope the heat works or I would be pretty angry. After all, Toyota cars are supposed to be the best

To the guy that asked about the 2002 Mustang GT, I had the same issue on my GT. You might want to check for a coolant leak. A lot of them left the factory with a plastic intake manifold and are notorious for leaks. I had to replaced mine with a new intake for about $280

Even with 41% efficiency, there is plenty of heat left over to raise the temperature of the coolant. Anybody check the flow through the radiator and heater core?

LED conversion on old cars can overdrive the headlight control circuits .. causing to throw a code. Only recourse is to wire a separate relay off the battery using ecm as the trigger to bypass normal control circuits

I actually know of someone with a 2020 Toyota Corolla with that same heating issue, and being in Canada, this can be a hell of a problem lol

Just buy resistors at autozone and put it between negative and positive and that will stop that light for coming on

Scotty my 2004 silverado I replaced the horn actuator under the airbag. It worked well initially but now works when I move steering wheel around . I think the plastic tab that broke off got into hole and now is obscuring proper functioning. Will switch out with Delco one Sat. Instead of aftermarket from O'Reilly.

I had the same problem with a mazda 3. I went to 3 repair guys. The problem was that a pipe from the colars was clogged with material. They removed the material and the car worked fine. Try it out mate.

my friend Dan bought a Camry 2 years ago, it has randomly went completely dead numerous times while driving, its unsafe when it happens, because if it happens while in heavy traffic on multi lane highway he wont have enough time to pull off onto the shoulder. everytime it gets towed to the dealer and the dealer would hook up diagnostics to find nothing wrong and send him on his way until it happens again. after it quit for the fifth time he demanded the dealer do something or else he will sue them. finally they replaced the ECM despite diagnostics saying nothing is wrong, and so far it hasnt quit on him

I typically shift into Park, set parking brake while still holding the brake pedal down, then release foot off brake and turn off the ignition.

That’s how the Atkinson cycle engine works, by reducing the the amount of heat waste coming out of the exhaust. Also if the car is being powered by electric and the engine is not running then the water will not get hot. After a longer journey the engine and the water system will get hot. Maybe it needs a heat pump for the interior heating?

Best deal I've got was a 1984 Honda Accord hatch with a manual with no issues and I paid 500$ for it in 2004. I drove that thing every where in Norfolk,VA when I was in the Navy and that thing was a little go cart. Loved that car would love to find another but a manual one is rare to find in good condition.

I have a Toyota CHR 2018, there's no problem since I got brand new, compared to my previous GM"s products and BMW I had before.

I do more steps in parking the car. I pull the handbrake, put in Neutral, release the brake pedal and the I put it in Park With this I'm sure all the weight goes to the brakes instead of going to the transmission. My Honda jazz used to make a noise when going out of park but now there's no noise and the transmission change smoother from park to reverse or drive

I had a 1999 Camry with a 4cyl automatic trans. At 60,000 miles I was thinking it might be time for a timing belt replacement. Before I got get to do it my wife was driving it and the car stalled out and wouldn’t start. It turns out the water pump housing broke and the timing belt lost its tension. Luckily that year didn’t bend the valves when it went out of time. My son in law at the time who was a tech fixed it for about $250 dollars for the parts. Dodged a bullet on that one. Never bought another Toyota.

Ah, this is still a fairly new model and I love the CH-R but there have been a few problems with them, or certain years, that they're trying to figure out. But sounds like that particular dealer don't want to figure it out is all....

It’s made in Turkey so of course it’s going to have issues. If Toyota made the in Japan the reliability would be a lot better.

CH-R is not very efficient, at least the 2018 one I drove wasn't. 30mpg on the hwy only doing 65. Rented one to see how it was, nice ride and cool styling, but that's it.

Some older Toyotas won't accept basic LED conversion kits. I have to change back to normal for WOF checks.

During winter if I can avoid using the parking brake then I just do that so it won't freeze up. (Happened a few times)

Probs heater core issue. Might be water pump if the engine overheats too but probably heater core if not. Especially with new thermostat

5:48 open the hood when its idling to see if there is a problem

They should do this, but in a more controlled manner, i.e. in the summer this is good, the winter not so good. My 2010 Subaru outback has heat so hot i cant even touch the vents if it on. The seat heater is the same, super instant heat. I love older stuff, esp Japanese, it just works.

I love Scotty’s words of wisdom! I’d pay real money to have him as an automotive professor and have him teach me from scratch!

Very well explained scotty

When I bought a new 83 Toyota van, Heat was so poor it would not melt snow on the floor. Things were so crazy they put in next years system. Nada. It was a kid who had not spent a week on the shop floor who actually listened and put his hand under the outlet to find cold air. Plumbing error ! After that repair it was fine. It doesn't take runaway technology to give you weird problems.

I was thinking of buying a CH-R. Not anymore, I live in Canada and I kind of need heat in the winter

Hi Scotty my Toyota corolla has 561000 klm and still going well, change the oil every 10000 klm

my FJ cruiser had seat heaters and they were defective from day one. service dept disconnected them and said sorry they will never work again. bad design and there is no fix. do not reconnect, may cause fire. still driving it, 15 yrs later 180k. love it.

2015 Honda runs cold as well in the winter, heat is less than adequate.

I usually shift into neutral, set the parking brake, take my foot off the brake pedal and then shift to park before shutting the engine off. No shops, dealers, etc EVER use the parking brake and it is maddening!!

Still driving my 2002 Mazda Protege. 150,000 miles no issues or major repairs besides rear struts once. They don't make em like they used to. Antique in 2 months

Great point Scotty!

I've always put it in neutral, and put the e brake on, standard or automatic

Hey Scott, How about that defective K114 transmission - especially in the 2018 CHR. I have only 28k miles and seriously going to do a fluid change - not flush on the CVT. The CHR forum has some long threads about the faulty K114 - I posted a link there of a K114 being disassembled and the variator bearings are crap.

The CH-R is operator error. He is attempting to shut off the AC instead of using the auto climate control which is optimized for fuel efficiency while keeping the cabin temperature at set temperature and proper humidity level to keep glass clear from fog

my friend who works in toyota dealer told me that new toyotas has tons of problems especially hybrids...

7:27 LOL this one caught me off guard 🤣

leave the fan at position 1 or 2 maximum on idle. You must have heat when traveling at speed when R.P.M. is up. Efficient car problem. My 58 miles per galon 1999 old car did that. Even when new.

I own a 2021 C-HR. I live in Alberta Canada. I only have 7800kms on it so far. However, zero issues thus far. Mine was made in Japan. I know some of the ones in the US and East Coast were assembled in Turkey. Possibly a quality difference between plants?
