Hi all,
My Toyota Auris VVTI SA Automatic (full spec here https://www.parkers.co.uk/toyota/auris/hatchback-2007/16-vvti-tr-5d-mm/specs/) was stuck on the road recently where it was stuck in neutral for quite a while on a busy highway.
Any help what might be the issue?
- The accelerator pad has to be pressed quite a bit (more than usual) to get it to accelerate.
- The car gets stuck in neautral in busy traffic. Switching off the car for 5-10mins and then turning it back on eliminates the neutral issue as I am able to move it to "E".
- The car struggles going up hill.
- When the car stalls in neutral there is a burning smell.
The clutch was replaced with brand new only 2.5 years ago by the Toyota dealer and I have done around 10k in clock since.
I am losing trust in the car when it stalls like this and having to get towed :/
