What 1993 Toyota MR2 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Takata recall! My airbag light came on and an auto electrical tech said the unit was putting out an electrical code #41 (unit failure). Chuck patterson scheduled my car for an airbag inspection. Then they wouldn't do it and suggested to someone that I simply come pick the car up. When I questioned the safety of driving the car like that, and said that I would like the diagnosis and related info, communication basically stopped, and my car has been in their service department for a month, and they will not answer questions. Something is wrong!
I was driving at approximately 30 MPH when suddenly the throttle went wide open and the tachometer went to maximum rpms. I depressed the clutch while the engine continued to rev at maximum rpms for approximately 45 seconds. I was startled and did not have the presence of mind to turn the ignition switch to the accessory position. Eventually the revving subsided from maximum but continued to surge until I finally parked the car and shut the engine off. Upon restarting the engine the operation was normal however there was a loud knocking noise and the result of this malfunction was engine damage that required rebuilding the engine.
While driving down the road it felt like vehicle had a flat tire. Inside of the tire the tread was coming loose. Consumer has taken vehicle to dealer 3times within last 2 years.
