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.

Check engine light turned on after a fill up at the gas station. Went to dealership and was told code was P0442 indicating a fuel vapor leak. I was told it would cost $500 but I really didn't need to get it fixed. Dealership cleared light. The clips that held the liner under the car were missing, causing the liner to scratch against the road when the road was uneven. Probably lost due to getting my oil changed at different places and the guys don't put them back.
