Most common failures
The 10 defects that failed Toyota Soarer tests most often, as a share of all tests.
| Failure | Tests | Cars the same age | vs same age | Marked dangerous |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steering rack: gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt Steering | 4.4% | 0.9% | 4.9× | 0.0% |
| Rear fog lamp: not working Lights and electrics | 3.8% | 1.6% | 2.4× | 0.0% |
| Catalyst emissions: Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits Emissions and leaks | 3.1% | 1.6% | 1.9× | 0.0% |
| Headlamp aim: projected beam image is obviously incorrect Lights and electrics | 3.1% | 2.3% | 1.3× | 0.0% |
| Position lamp: not working Lights and electrics | 3.1% | 3.8% | 0.8× | 0.0% |
| Service brake performance: excessively binding Brakes | 2.5% | 1.4% | 1.8× | 0.0% |
| Wipers: does not clear the windscreen effectively Visibility (wipers, glass, mirrors) | 2.5% | 2.7% | 0.9× | 0.0% |
| Other components: leaking Steering | 1.9% | 0.1% | 19× | 0.0% |
| Brake performance not tested: unable to be tested Brakes | 1.2% | 0.4% | 3.0× | 0.0% |
| Catalyst emissions: carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds default limits Emissions and leaks | 1.2% | 0.6% | 2.0× | 0.0% |
“vs same age” compares this model with cars of the same age: 2.0× means twice as often. “Marked dangerous” is how often the tester recorded that failure as dangerous.
