2007 Toyota Corolla 4-door

4-cylinder automatic 2WD

167400 mi

€100
We got the dreaded semi-automatic transmission flashing N error. Clutch or clutch actuator failed. Naas Toyota in Kildale charged us 100 to tell us that it would cost €1500 to repair, yet they didn't know for sure. They were very unhelpful. The car had a flashing red oil light on on way home. We decided to junk it. That car was the worst we ever had because of the semi-auto transmission and poor dealer service. We will never go near Toyota again. Skoda and Opel are much more reliable.
