Asked by David Blain
On a recent trip the flexplate on our low mileage 2005 Toyota Kluger Grande all but destroyed itself. Our dealer has removed the engine and gearbox, and I have the offending part which is cracked in a circle all bar about one inch. The car is out of warranty, but has been serviced by the same Toyota dealer all its life. Can you tell me if this type of failure is unusual for the mileage, and do you think it would be reasonable to approach Toyota to see if they would assist with this expensive repair?

6 May 2010We haven't had any other reports of this failure on the Kluger, but cracked flexplates are not uncommon and I have seen many of different makes and models. I would certainly have a crack at Toyota, particularly if you have your car's full service records and the cracked flexplate to show them.
