Toyota Kluger AWD Petrol (2014-2026) Questions

Bill3y · Kluger AWD Petrol GXL (2014-2026)

Hi guys, I recently purchased a 2023 kluger gxl awd 2.4l turbo and i mainly drive it local (suburban driving). I’ve noticed the fuel consumption is very low, for 68L tank it won’t reach 400km averaging 16L/per100km. Is that normal or the car is faulty?

Hi I bought a 2018 Kluger last October, have had no dramas with it. Got it serviced for 100,000kms 10 days ago, lagged a little bit when I started it, thought it would just come good having been serviced. Drove the car Saturday morning, then packed it up to go camping, couldn’t get the boot door down, pressing the buttons wouldn’t work and had to manually pull it down. Tried to start the car, it wouldn’t and came up with an alert about braking and pull over to a safe place. Tried a few more times and still wouldn’t start, just kept bringing up the same alert and making this ticking noise like it was trying to. Now after a couple of days of being away, I’ve tried again and an alert says ‘Check Entry and Start System’, accessories don’t come on or anything. I’ve changed the batteries in the remote entry buttons thinking that will help, and now it is locked in my garage and won’t open. Has anyone else had electrical trouble like this?? Has something being missed or not finished with the service. My service centre is 1.5hr away, so unsure if I just get RACV to look at it and maybe tow it??

What a drama, I’m no mechanic, I’d ring the place you had it serviced, they might have a solution, almost sounds like the car battery is flat and won’t let you open the door. Have you tried the key in the remote to manually open the door. RACV is the next option, hope you have a good outcome

Our battery keeps going flat. Nothing wrong with battery. Etc. If you run hazard lights without engine going ..even for couple mins. Go's flat

I ended up calling RACV and it was the battery, flat as. It had corrosion being the original one. What annoys me is it was just serviced at a Toyota dealership and nothing said about the battery. $300 later and a very big inconvenience.
