Good on you Toyota Australia, excellent customer service.

For those who argue about the steering, you obviously has not own an 86, if you do, just try to turn your car off then try to turn the steering wheel to see if you can make the full circle.

For anyone having similar issue and cannot get the local dealer to agree to fix the problem, I would highly recommend to contact Toyota for the nation rather than the local dealer, they operate independently and will not go the extra mile for your Warranty services. The local dealer was going to send the car back to me as it because they could not replicate the fault.


I own a BRZ, which has the same exact parts as the FRS/GT86 (it's the same fing car!) and it's not that hard to steer the wheel with the assist off. Try steering a Miata with a manual rack with wide and sticky Z rate tires on and we'll talk.


Maybe you need to hit the gym...


Also, you said something about a full circle, what were you trying to do? A U-turn or a switchback? Seriously something doesn't add up here, but good on Toyota for taking care of the issue.
