GR86 What warranty jobs has your car needed?

[BanjoGazooey]

Thought it might be interesting to track any warranty repairs that people have needed.

I've had my car 1500 miles and so far I need to get these sorted:

- Passenger door window switch stopped working.

-Wipers only move 10cm and stay there when tapping the wiper stalk for one wipe

- Rattle from driver side speaker

- I'm also going to mention the Bluetooth disconnection messages when driving but doubt there's a fix for that

That’s quite a lot :/
My car needs to go back to Toyota paint shop because of damage done when they were unloading the car or the dealership, however I need to wait for a plastic to come from Japan.
Having that said I had to reschedule the ppf because of it, and I have now gained 3 stone chips.
I am actually thinking to tell Toyota to fix the stone chips since it is going to the paint shop

My car comes pre stone chipped it's getting fixed , along side cracked weather seals getting replaced

There is a rattle in the rear passange side speaker area, but I don't want the dealer to make it worse instead

600 miles in, the only issue so far is that the TPMS has never worked, was given it with the light already on and told "that will go off after driving a few miles", errr nope still there, tried reset button, still there, book says if when you start the car it flashes for a min then goes solid to take it back to them. Eventually I'll take it but cba with the faff right now

Have you tried the trick of over inflating the tyres then depressurising them? That has worked for some.

What ZN8 said.

Over inflate (so the pressure changes) then press the button. This should turn the constant light off.
Then adjust the pressures down to your desired level and press the button again (with engine running).
Then go for a drive and after a while it'll show you the pressures.

I think that is a model characteristic, not a fault
The GT86 sometimes did it and I was pleased to see the GR carry it on.
Just occasionally with mine, it's as if it has the signal to move, but if it's too brief and loses that signal before it has moved a certain distance it gives up.
I'd like to hear if they can fix the bluetooth disconnect message - they can't say it's phone specific with it happening to so many.

TPMS light is an easy fix.

GR86 - TPMS Light

Been on since pickup. Flashes for a while on start up then stays on solid. No pressures showing on display screen. Have tried setting the pressures correctly (they were only slightly off) then the reset described in the manual (holding the button down etc.) But the reset does nothing. Any...

Regarding bluetooth disconnects, I stopped getting those issues since I bought Carsifi and with the latest Android Auto, it's been a joy to use and well worth the money.

I am getting the bluetooth disconnect errors even with Carsifi. I am going to take an air duster to the USB ports it's plugged into to see if that helps.
But it's weird, a message pops up, but it doesn't seem to actually break the AA connection.

I also have carsifi and latest android auto. I dont think it's related to the port as I've seen the message even when not using android auto. It's like the Bluetooth connection is unstable and has to keep reconnecting

Noted! Still annoying..

Do you have your phone connected to the head unit via Bluetooth as well as via Carsifi? Because I do, and I wonder if that's the issue. I wasn't sure if you were meant to connect just to Carsifi, and then Carsifi connected to the headunit for you. But when I got it, I just connected it all up and it worked, so I never removed the Bluetooth connection from the HU.
@beorg - is that how you have your connection set up? If so, maybe I can unpair the phone from the headunit and let Carsifi alone handle the connection.

Android Auto requires call audio to go direct to the headunit by bluetooth even if you connect your phone by cable

I think this is how it goes

1. Phone does Bluetooth handshake with Carsifi
2. Phone connects to Carsifi via wifi
3. Carsifi initialises android auto with headunit via USB posing as wired in phone
3. Phone connects to headunit by bluetooth

I have my phone connected to the head unit and carsifi as I don't always start Android Auto if I just want to listen to the radio or not use sat nav and I've never had a drop out.
Probably shouldn't have said that as it'll drop out constantly now!

This gives me hope it's a warranty issue that can be fixed!

Not taken it in for anything yet but waiting for someone to book it in for rear parking sensors... however while there, as mentioned by @Hicko the driver door vibrates/rattles when anything remotely above average volume goes through the speaker, and there is a rattle I cant work out where from sort of the other side of the passenger seat on bumpy road.
TPMS light also remains on from the dealer who also said 'it'll go out', I knew it wouldnt but couldnt be arsed to listen to any more excuses or how they'd tried to sort 5 times etc etc. I'll try the hack mentioned.

Given my 160k mile BMW had no rattles or squeakes its whole life, a brand new car with them is a bit annoying. At least the road noise is so loud on some surfaces you cant hear them!

For those having andriod auto issues, make sure your time and date settings on the headunit are set to use phone time and date. If thats still failing try cleaning your usb port, finally try this cable - Amazon product ASIN B096XD96SX I had constant disconnects for a week, changed cable and not a single disconnect since.
