Known problems on the Toyota Voxy ZRR80

CVT torque converter lock-up clutch fails

Costly if missed

2014–2021 · 3ZR-FAE · petrol · Gearbox

What to look for: Check the engine and VSC/slip lights come on at key-on and go out.

Why it matters: The required codes for Toyota Japan's extended cover are P2757, P075B and P0741; if one is missing cover was refused. The dealer fix replaced the torque converter, valve body and fluid. Toyota Japan's extended cover does not apply in NZ. A rebuilt CVT costs about 400,000 yen in Japan. Left unrepaired this grows into a major repair bill.

CVT whine rising with road speed

Costly if missed

2014–2021 · 3ZR-FAE · petrol · Gearbox

What to look for: Drive at 40-90 km/h on a smooth road with the radio off.

Why it matters: Owners on Kakaku.com also report noise and unstable acceleration around 50 km/h on 7-year-old cars. Left unrepaired this grows into a major repair bill.

Power sliding door faults

Minor

2014–2021 · Electrical

What to look for: Open and close both sliding doors and the back door repeatedly by key fob, dash switch, B-pillar button and handle.

Why it matters: A wiring harness between the door motor unit and the easy-close (latch) motor breaks from repeated flexing: the door will not open or close electrically, the closer does not pull it shut, it is very heavy to close by hand and a buzzer beeps continuously; a Japanese shop found the wire fully broken with more chafed spots and fixed it with a harness (about 16,600 yen) instead of a motor unit (about 60,000 yen).
