2005 Toyota Kluger Grande review from Australia and New Zealand
"Transmission spoils excellent vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Parking brake will not hold vehicle on anything more than shallow slope driveway.
General comments?
Dreadful transmission, completely spoils vehicle.
Rubbish response from Toyota customer service.
Toyota refuse to recognise problem still exists.
Driveability seriously marred by transmisson not responding to accelerator pedal.
Would not recommend this car to anyone.
