Screw the engine issue. I’m not paying 70K for a vehicle.
If someone would NOT pay 70K for 'certain' vehicles, that would be pretty stupid.
But I know what you mean. 😁
@@SmittyAZ A toyota isn't a 'certain' vehicle. Its a Toyota, and a pickup truck at that LOL
@@DW_1776 How about, I'm not paying 70K for any NEW TOYOTA?
Chrysler Dodge Jeep have been making trash for 50 years, and people still buy them.
Brand Loyalty is nuts.
Yes, but their sales are slumping. Stellantis has made their quality even worse.
Sometimes people buy a crap vehicle just because the financing works.
@@chetmyers7041 Short term financing.
@@chetmyers7041Toyota has been shit for decades
The dealerships are terrible and people pay a premium to be be ripped off. The only upside is I was able to sell my 3 year old Toyota for top dollar to another sucker
Quality Control is a lost art. Companies skipping quality to save money, only to pay 10x the cost to fix defects. Soooo stupid
It's funny! Back in the day we didn't have half of the technology that we have today and they built good cars. Today they can build the best quality cars and parts with a technology we have but yet everything seems to gone backwards. It absolutely makes no sense. Everybody's so infatuated with gas mileage when it comes to these trucks and truck people who've been truck people all their lives don't care about gas mileage. The people who do complain about that are not real car people anyways. Who cares. If you're concerned about gas mileage then buy a commuter car but don't put those restrictions on trucks they should not have to fall in the same category. Also if they removed half of the tech that's in cars nowadays which most of us really don't need anyways the cars would be more reliable. The only thing it needs to run on computer modules is the engine and transmission and that's it. For example heating and air conditioning a standard manual module will work just fine it doesn't need to be hooked up to the computer system. They're more reliable and they'll work for years as long as you own the car and don't abuse it. I have a 2011 Chevy Silverado and the blower in that truck is a lot better than my 2017 Silverado 2500 HD that runs with the computer module system in the car. Blower in that truck sucks compared to the 2011
@@westcoastronnieOC714companies are all paper pushers now and invest money in the wrong places along with catering to investors for profit margin
Yup, westcoastronnie, you're dead on. This push for gas mileage is because of CAFE regulations on gas mileage. Less reliable cars are worse for the environment, though. I wonder if it's an intentional push on the average consumer to consider an EV. Not many people enjoy driving a reliable toyota from years past. I do. I did modify it to suit me better like a true car guy, lol.
This is already common everywhere, and no one has gone bankrupt, because the majority of buyers are such zombies that they will buy any crap.
@@westcoastronnieOC714 I would like to add to this ---> Take that 'info center' and farm it out to the real radio/headunit makers (JVC, PIONEER, ect...) and make the connections universal. Have these radio manufactures supply the radios. I want a vehicle that I can upgrade the stereo system in it. Nothing really earth shattering, Just something a lot nicer.

Just a month ago I was about to trade in my 2019 Tundra for a 2024. Bullet dodged.
If you read the ACTUAL information instead of just the channels fear-mongering for clicks, Toyota fixed this prior to updating the parts numbers in April. The one you were purchasing may have been built before April, but anything after has the new assembly and corrected process
@bjgaspar are you will to bet $80,000 on that ACTUAL information? Few people are, but let us all know when you buy your 2024 Tundra.
@@bjgasparcopium.
@@bjgaspar How do you know the updated part fixed the issue? No one knows that. You are repeating a rumor Car Care Nut started and himself said is just speculation due to a part update.
Bruhhhh I was about to do the same thing with my 2016 Tundra SR5. I was negotiating for a 2023. After reading and doing research....I was like naaaahhh I'm good. I will continue to maintain the maintenance on my 2016. The dealership is still hitting me up via email or phone calls.
The law of diminishing returns is about to educate the auto industry.
First they messed up the Tundra, then the Taco, and now they’re going to F’up the venerable and iconic 4Runner 😢
Got a ‘24 4Runner and plan to keep it a long time!
Which taco have they ruined?

This is what happens when you let it go to your head.
It causes Championship-caliber teams to lose games when they shouldn't..
FedEx, Southwest, and Boeing were once upon a time great companies. I hope that Toyota doesn’t follow.
I am suspect of any new Toyota. My 2022 Camry had a mapp sensor failure at highway speeds. Downshifted so violently it nearly left the highway. Faulkner Toyota said it was caused by a rodent chew. No evidence at all of wires chewed on. The only rodent under the hood of my Camry was the dealers technician. Excellent way for Toyota to deny component failures with their products. Cost me $300 to get my car back.
Zach you mentioned Toyota is not hurting due to this bad publicity, you are right. You would be amazed how many folks are still in the facebook groups and forums, knowing that newer engines are grenading themselves, yet they will still buy a new truck for $80,000 with a known bad engine. It's bananas
I suspect legacy is optimizing profits. They have jacked up prices while cutting manufacturing corners. They see the rapid move to EVs and they are making money while they can. The people making the decisions are grabbing what they can, while they can. They know that it's going to be very difficult for legacy ICEV companies to transition to EV companies and that many are likely to fail.
A cult...like Tesla
I love toyota but they shot themselves on the foot. Poor build quality and higher and higher. Prices year after year it's not a surprise they're in hot water.
This is why you don’t buy a model with a brand new engine until it’s been road tested a few years.
Regardless of the manufacture
Good point
The 3.4liter cost $28000
The previous V8 was $8000. Replacement cost not included.
The Tundra would be scary to own after the warrenty expires .
Who’s going to test them if no one buys them?
yep, roast' it for a few years
@@user-nr2ch9pp2g Why would it be scary to own after the warranty expires. Toyota would still be held liable and they have a long history of fixing problems off warranty like their problems with frames rotting out. My neighbor has a 2004 Tundra with almost 400k miles on the original engine and transmission and Toyota replaced his entire frame for free many years after the warranty expired.
Toyota needs to get back to basics. Make RELIABLE and AFFORDABLE vehicles!
Do your homework,before posting rubbich.
xB
Also get rid of their dealers playing games.
@@cmiles97x38its been 30 years since they built well priced reliable vehicles
Arrogant dealers and the cars are becoming too expensive.
I'm so old I remember when Toyota dealers were humble and eager to serve their US customers.
@@NVRAMboi indeed. When 1,000,000 mile light pickups were their claim to fame. For a while now Ford, Chevy, and Ram have been blowing them away with their light and heavy trucks in both performance and reliability.
If Toyota will still push through with a turbo charged engine on the 4runner without a V6 option, they're screwed!
Ive had Toyotas for 35 years. Current is a 2017 Camry. I thought about downsizing to a Corolla but I refuse to buy a CVT. Now ALL the 2025 Camrys are hybrids, which i do NOT want, not to mention it raised the base LE price by 3K...Im just about done w/Toyota
Grab a Rav 4 with the 8 speed automatic (non hybrid)
@@rtygrestyou can buy a real suv for less
@@jamesavakian4977 sure, he was looking for a non CVT, so just a suggestion.
Toyota has been overrated for awhile now. They still make good cars but it seems their trucks are suspect
The Taco is made in Mexico and Toyota moved Tundra production from Indiana to Texas to make it easier to source more Mexican content.
Also insanely overpriced
@@steven4315Toyoderps will tell you it’s assembled in Mexico but “made” in Japan.

They’re sadly losing their way. Once an affordable and reliable brand, now overpriced and questionable construction. It’s no wonder a model like the Tundra is undesirable in a competitive class.
It's all about trying to increase profits. A few days ago I rented a new Toyota Camry. It was so loud due to road noise, vibration, and who knows what, that I was going to return it if I needed to keep it for more than a day. I informed the rental car agent about the noise and he said it's a common complaint because to cut manufacturing costs, Toyota has stopped putting sound deadening insulation in the Camry (at least the base model). WTF? The car was so loud, especially on rough pavement, that it was unbearable. Toyota's new philosophy seems to be "cut costs, screw the customer". Very disappointing.
yep. I drove one too and plastic was better in my kids toys. glad I have my Tesla
Agreed
That’s sad. When I rent a car I always look for a Camry.
This is so disappointing. I've been driving Toyota for years. Still love mine, but it is very difficult to course-correct once quality starts declining.
Especially with price pressure coming from China, and having to make most of your growth in developing countries. If they continue to chase infinite growth, quality has to be sacrificed, because they have already tapped out their major markets.
Quality has been noticeably apparent and more problems. I’m not looking at Toyota for my next car.
Been a Toyota family for 20 years - just traded in one and bought two new Subarus - far better value. Toyota should fire their executive team and everyone involved in inventory management. They just lost an entire family for the next decade since we keep our cars for a while.
Subaru joined the Borg. Toyota owns at least 20% of Subaru and has a smaller stake in Mazda
Give us an update at about 80k miles. Subaru went with CVTs, I think, in 2021. Their CVTs are horrible and do not last.
I use to sell Subarus for years, but I own a Toyota Highlander.
@@z512345 we have a Highlander too for the last five years. Love it!
@@williamkennedy6423it’ll take me 8 years to put that many miles on. Haha
I'm a cash buyer, twice last year the local dealer in Columbia, MO blew me off like a bad habit. I ended up buying a Canyon. I'm in the market for a SUV this year and Toyota didn't even make the list.
On my street with only 5 homes, there is one Highlander, one Prius, one Corolla, and two Rav4 Hybrids and one Rav4. If quality goes down, sales will too!, I buy for reliability; If no reliability, no me.
OMG! I would move!
@@user-qv6kd5yj2g I was thinking almost the same thing: What a shitty neighborhood.
@@user-qv6kd5yj2g 😂🤣😅
most boring street ever. life is too short to drive boring Toyotas
The "machining shavings" happened at 2 different plants in 2 different countries. It's an engine issue, not clean up.
Toyota quality has gone down horrible. Just an overrated brand.
Agreed
Ever heard of copy exact? Same processes repeated the same problem.
@@deanrotering879 🤦♂️
On the plus side for Toyota, I have a 2010 Prius and last year they admitted a defect in the paint process and covered under warranty completely repainting my car. On the minus side, the process was a mess since we waited nine months to get the car in for the work, were told it would take 2 to 4 weeks and the dealer didn't have enough inventory to give us a loaner, it actually took eight weeks and when I went to pick the car up, they handed me the key fob and told me to go look for the car with it probably being out the door and to the right. Despite there being almost no new cars on the lot and tons of open spaces, I had to go halfway around the dealership to find the car parked in the back (good thing I was on a bicycle). We haven't bought anything other than Toyotas in the last 30 years and my next car will probably be a plug-in hybrid. I really am hoping I can find a good non-Toyota plug-in hybrid that meets my needs but right now the two best ones are still the Prius and Rav4 primes. Inventory of Prius Primes within 100 miles of my house (Chicagoland so lots of dealers) consists of one new car in transit and five used ones with the dealership asking for more than the original MSRP for a four year old car.
56k for rav4 prime. ouch. just get a Tesla at least they innovate and have good value.
Toyota isn't what it used to be. Our 2020 Highlander Platinum has had numerous recalls, never ending alignment issues, digital and analog gauges whose readouts do not match up and now, with the vehicle being less than 4 years old, the a/c system just broke. We are replacing our Highlander with a new Chevy Traverse Z71.
Toyota to Chevy!?!?!
@@MyFriendlyPup Pretty much anything will be better than a 2020 Highlander. Plus, I have had a Silverado before and it gave me no issues.
@martymcfly256: Not what I would've chosen, but best of luck to you.
2015 GMC Sierra. 137k. Rolling just fine.
@bobcook8576 2014 Toyota Camry with almost 241K miles. Still also rolling beautifully.
They're losing the fanboys over this. It seems that the only people still on the Toyota truck bandwagon have been getting invited to Toyota events.
I visited a Toyota dealership in TN last week and it was the same story. There were 20-25 various new Tundras and not much else.
Totota jacked up prices.
Yeah you can buy a lightly used Mercedes SUV for the same price as a Camry
Toyota price is not bad, just their dealer is greedy and charge extras
@@dwang552 you think 65k for a midsize pickup isn't bad? You must have throw away money.
@@dwang552 Huh? Even at MSRP, 65k for a midsize truck is mental.
@@dwang552if supply was better dealer won’t do it
When is too much money too much? Upper management get money they can't spend because they are still sitting on money from their last raise. The people who work on the line that actually builds the product should share ore in the success.
I bought the 22 tundra and I said to myself what did hell did I pay for…the quality was terrible lol. I just kept saying to myself “reliability is what I’m paying for” man was I wrong lol.
It seems as though regardless of manufacturer, a majority of newer cars are basically junk from the get go. You can only push technology so far to the point where you end up with a piece of junk.
The thing is Toyota hasn't had anything new in 20 years.. so anytime any company does anything new they have problems Toyota is no different they're just like everyone else.
That's why they "partner up" with other brands like BMW and Subaru, to breathe some life into their stale product line.
It’s funny how you made this video today because I just went to a Toyota dealership here in Jacksonville NC and they basically wanted me to commit fraud to lease a $1500 tundra. As an Active Duty service member, I was targeted. Can you make a video on how to report these dealerships?!
I know that dealership. On 17. Baited and switched on me. Almost flipped a few desks over in there...
@@dan3knight yup… that’s the one!
Im so disappointed with toyota. Damn
I work in a factory that makes parts for the Toyota Highlander Grand and the earliest the production start is July 10th but it could last all the way through August they said cutting our hours right now
I also work for 1 of there supplier, was told there production won't start until at least Aug. 5
My impression is that legacy sold a lot of cars. To their dealers. Now the dealer lots are packed full so manufacturing has to slow/stop.
Actually, I think it will hurt Toyota to a point. We were looking at the Honda Pilot and the Toyota Highlander. Because of the issues and substantial recalls, we’ve dropped any Toyota consideration at this time. P. S. Ray, you are a handsome devil 😊
New Honda pilots are nice,you can hear the quality when opening and shutting doors!
same here, we were all in on the highlander and seeing more and more bad press are looking to honda instead.
We were purchasing a new car in 2021 and deciding between Pilot and Highlander. Ended up with the Pilot for $ 1k less. Haven't had any issues in the 3 years and would've expected the same with the Highlander. Still own an 06 Highlander and never had any issues with that vehicle. Both are great vehicles.
@@dbmn7571 grand highlander has a stop sale now for non working airbags lol. ill keep my Tesla
Subaru also has a recall regarding passenger air bags in outbacks and they so far do not have a fix developed for the issue.
I love the fact that these stealerships have had their software computer systems held hostage and cannot do business. Love seeing them get screwed like they screw their customers!!
Every aspect of the car industry is in decline.. The car prices are ridiculous to the point that the vehicles are worthless because no one can afford them
EV sales continue to rise. EVs made up 18% of global new car sales in 2023 and are expected to reach 25% this year. EVs are now 50% of all new car sales in China which is the world's largest car market.
Car industry is going to hell.
I work in the industry & was just laid off yesterday until August & maybe even longer the memo said.
I thank Jim Farley for this 💩
Thanks Jim👍
Don't forget Branden!!!!
Sorry to hear that. But anyone choosing to work in that industry (I had 9 years) knows that it is a "feast or famine" proposition upfront. *Usually dictated by US economic recessions.
usa doesn't make competitive products, unless you work for Tesla. 97% of all f150s are sold in North America, tells you how competitive legacy makers are.
The problem is more likely due to people who preceded Farley. Ford, and other legacy companies, waited too long before taking EVs seriously. Now they are looking at eroding market share without having good, affordable EVs to replace their lost ICEV sales.
The previous Ford CEO bragged that he had never ridden in an EV. Like a buggy maker who ignored the Model T.
@4:12 This is incorrect. They do not use an air hose to blow shavings out. Instead, the engines are machined using precise water jets, which removes the shavings during the machining process. That is straight from Toyota on a question I had regarding the interval for the first oil change.
What they told you was called "damage control" my guy
Two different truck reviewers were testing the new Tacoma and... let's just say that things didn't go so well.
And they both waited months for Toyota's permission to talk about it. TFL sold their "long term" Tacoma after about six months, so they'll never have to take it on snow again.
What makes it interesting, in my opinion, is that on TFL, the Colorado traveled the same path and did not break. It was good that it didn't as it was able to rescue the Tacoma. It was one of the worst rated and hated brands helping out the Best and no wrongdoing brand, who would have guessed.
IMHO it seems serious. From my understanding there's two main bearings that are failing that could indicate a design flaw of the bearing size, clearance, or even the oil weight. It seems to me that 0w-20 is pretty thin for a motor that puts out as much torque/load as the Tundra's motor. Thin oil helps a little with MPGs and works well in lower output motors like the A25 that uses 0w-16, but it leaves little margin for error in higher output applications.
It's starting to look like there was an oversized bearing being placed into cylinder #1. That is the only part # Toyota changed out and replaced with a new part #. It's also the main trouble area, so it's not metal shavings destroying that bearing, it's a bad bearing to start with. BTW, you left out the Toyota Prius (Stop Sale) because the backdoors were flying open as you drive, lol.
Well, I was just offered $40,700 for my Tundra SR so I think you’re wrong about them not accepting them on trade. I traded for a 2024 4Runner before they screw that one up.
My cousin was telling me me his local Toyota dealer in the college station/conroe area of Texas is advertising that they are offering a life time engine warranty if you buy one of the new trucks with the effected engines
We’ve been holding out for a Toyota grand Highlander for a while now there problems with low inventory high interest rates now this happens so finally went with a Mazda CX 90 0.9 finance rate made my decision for us was a no-brainer in my opinion
I wish you luck. The biggest potential issue with the CX90 is once the warranty is up. The engine bay is so jammed full, even the smallest repair or maintenance jobs will require the entire engine to be removed and reinstalled, because you just can't get at anything. The labor costs would be eye popping. That's why I opted for a new Traverse instead or a CX90.
I agree about the metal shavings. I think the shavings occur as the engine tries to eat itself.
I have a Toyota Rav 4 2017 and had 3 major issues. Toyota was unable to explain. Will say I'm highly disappointed and will never purchase another Toyota vehicle. My Honda CRV 2005 is more reliable than this vehicle.
Wow
I’ve had two Camry’s went well into 100k before trading them in without any issues, and I currently have a 2023 rav4 with 15k and not one single issue. I’m not quite sure what’s going on with your Rav, but that’s not the common consensus.
Sometimes cars are YMMV.
@lordt78 If we actually want to talk mileage, my Toyota only has at best 25% of the mileage in comparison to my Honda. I do know what you're getting at, but I will go further. My GM Saturn back in the day had no problems until hitting the 135k mark. My Toyota is nowhere near this.
My husband worked at the same ford plant for 43 years when he retired in 2003. I have everything in my life due to his hard work. And Ford. His dad help start the steering gear plant being an engineer 1956 . It closed in 2005. Indpls IN. We always drove Fords and Lincoln’s and Mercury’s. I resent your crappy comment My husband was 63 when he retired and was dignosed with cancer a year and a half after retiring as was just about everyone else who worked in that plant. They used their bare hands to reach into and use chemicals that the fda had people wear gloves ,or even outlawed ,for starting in the 1970’s. I have the retirement and means to live monthly along with benefits due to Ford but to my late husband hard work and sacrifice. You won’t have this life story to tell when you pass. He passed at 71 years old frighting his cancer for 5 years. We lived threw what the government let the foreign car industry did and continues to do to our USA. Blue collar and Union is my life savor. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The government didn't cause buyers to move away from inefficient, expensive to run vehicles to efficient, reliable vehicles from China. Ford, GM, and Chrysler allowed that to happen.
I understand your desire to defend Ford, but take an objective look at their quality problems. Ford and Toyota were once well regarded but now people are shying away and moving to companies that are producing better quality products.
@@bobwallace9753 the government let the Japanese and other makers come right into the auto plants and take pictures. Then when that wasn’t allowed they had their artists come in and sketch everything. If you were not working at an auto plant then you wouldn’t no that would you. Then the phony gas shortage came and with the USA having heavier body vehicles it started the loose loose. This government handed over the auto industry on a silver platter to foreigners. And with that it’s what we have today. It’s all crap. If you were not there. You do not no.
Most of the old auto factory workers from the late 1950’s are gone today. My late husband would have been 84. But the classic cars/ trucks ftom that era are highly collectible and pricy. Now I wonder why that is. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪blue collar Union strong.
@@boniw698
A few of the cars from back then are collectable. Most have deservedly long gone to the crusher. Realistically the 1950s and 1960s cars were not that great. My father used to buy used 30k mile Detroit cars because most of the depreciation had happened. Then he sold them when they reached about 60k miles as that was about when the serious repairs started to appear.
Later on we enjoyed "planned obsolescence". The car market made a major move to Japanese brands in the 1970s and 1980s because buyers got better quality for their buck.
I don't know if the workers are as good, better, or worse. But workers can only produce what the company gives them to build. And they will only produce to the quality level that management requires.
I had a 2016 corolla until this year and I received a recall about my air bag as well.
They are learning the same thing Kia learned over the last 10 or so years - largely not being able to use the "tried and true" Kia had to learn it all - and they took to even doing their own electrical (many "good brands" subcontract that harder item to China or Germany), and even steel has been highly engineered right from development. The problem is that with new ways and technology and doing things in-house - you will have failures and learning and "other brands" will be ruthless against you during that process. You also have to learn and along with larger range and volumes you have to read "live data" much quicker and with extreme scrutiny - this is not an easy task, it is cultural and goes deep into the dealers in how they approach the product during and after sale.
I'm a mechanic at a Hino truck dealership in Canada, Toyota owns Hino and Hino truck sales in north America are doing pretty good, so I'm sure the Hino truck sales are part of the numbers of Toyota vehicles being sold. Also Hino trucks are very popular in other world wide markets, so I'm just adding this as a possible side note for Toyota sales numbers.
As a die hard Toyota loyalist I own 10 different Toyota models. I understand nothing is perfect, but the price is that Toyota and Lexus charge are a premium, so they have to be held to a higher standard. It's one thing if a $23,000 Chevrolet Trax has a few issues, but a $55,000 Toyota model having quality issues is way different. It's just something that's completely uncalled for.
Latest news from Denmark - Tesla's market share rose to > 17% for June 2024 of all cars sold. Super super well done Tesla and US! And yes 45 % of all cars sold YTD was fully electric. Russia can use their oil as lubricant @home and stay there. Greetings from Denmark
I've been saying for YEARS that both Honduh and Toyoduh have been resting on their laurels with quality and they are no way near the level of attention to detail they were in the 1980's and 1990's. Right now both brands are so highly overrated that buyers are conned and fools for buying them. I used to work in the foreign car segment of sales and this is not a surprise to anyone.
Soon as they starting raising prices on their cars, then pushing so much new stuff is probably causes the Toyota Brand
This out front getting to the issue is a much better format. Love ya ether way though!
My 2018 Tacoma truck has some problems: paint peeling, parking break locking up, front sensor problem, fuel pump defect. I never buy Tacoma again.
The Car Care Nut provides the best explanation of what happened with the Tundra engine. 😊
Yep. Manufacturing debris in the engine causing bearing failures. Doesn't matter if the engine was built in Japan or the US. It's a manufacturing defect.
I just bought a 2013 GX460 for under $20k and in my opinion got a much superior vehicle for far less than any of their new offerings. What an incredibly well-built automobile all around. Really hoping Toyota goes back to what the people want.
What can be the best way to work this into negotiations?
They left the V8 and now this happens
I think I have a little insight to Toyotas issue. My wife is a senior manager at the Plano HQ who works remotely. Long story short, she smoked marijuana all day everyday while on the clock. It became a serious issue to the point I contacted Toyota human resources and was told that this wasn’t their problem. Think what you want but if Toyota is fine with senior management making over $200k smoking weed while talking to superiors on the phone, I can only imagine what other issues they are unconcerned with at the manufacturing plants.
Been driving a 2010 Tacoma since 2014. Bought it with 105k miles on it. Currently approaching 250k with just routine maintenance and drives like the day I bought it. Sad to hear they are going downhill with these new gens.
My snarky reason for their problems is wasting money on being a corporate naming rights john (see the b-ball joint in Texas). Of course, so are other auto makers.
I'm so disappointed. My first car was a 1982 Corolla. I am now retired and looked into a 2022 tundra. Waited 13 months and when I got the call, it was 64k, I couldn't do it. Bought a 2023 Lariat model maverick and hated it! Sold it. Bought a 2014 Lexus rx450e and I love it. No payments and prepared to eventually need a battery, which I knew going in. No way will I ever buy another new car, never!!!
Most of the current Toyota issues are coming from Alabama Toyota Plant. Dealers are not taking in tundras 2022-2024 year models as trades right now because of high risk also there’s a stop sale issued from Toyota on Grand Highlanders and Tundras and Lexus TX models.
The engine issues with the twin Turbo v6 in the Tundra have been reported In engines made in Japan and the US
Let’s not even get started on the Toyota Mirai. Should absolutely be illegal still pushing that vehicle out. It is a humongous scam
Should have stuck with the v8’s and normal v6’s.
The hybrid tech was pretty solid.
The first three places I found for the cost of replacing these engines were $30k, $32k and $35k. If the $30K is real, and the 2024s are affected too, then it's a quarter of a million vehicles and $7.5 billion at current prices. They'll probably do what Nissan does when something expensive has to be replaced and drop the parts cost to 10% so the loss looks less.
What is going on? Same as all the auto man manufacturers. Cut costs, lack of quality control, produce vehicles as quickly as possible, just produce high price vehicles with all the add-ons very few people want. The entire auto industry needs to slow down and produce affordable reliable basic vehicles. Give the public what they want, not what you want to sell to them.
they know china and their evs are coming. maybe not to USA, but to everywhere else in the world. they need the money and engineering in that space.
@@TeslaRoadtrips The Chinese EVs are pilling up on the docks and is lots in Europe. They do not want them. China needs EV markets and they should be denied to them.
How are there no recalls on the sequoias? Isn’t it the same motor as the tundra?
I work in a Toyota Subsidiary supplying parts for Toyota and others and the biggest problem I see is part of their culture when it comes to manufacturing. It's this cut costs and then cut costs again. To constantly find the cheapest way of doing things even after you have cut the costs on that very process earlier. I have seen the product go out the door after team members have said there was a quality issue with it. I will never but a Toyota as long as I live.
The car industry is awful. Exorbitant prices and unreliability among domestic and foreign cars. Something is rotten in Denmark
Everything is rotten in Denmark.
@@lordt78 Truth!
Toyota had recalls in the late 2000's, but when I looked to buy a RAV4 in 2015. I figured they had got past a rough patch and was looking to buy either a silver or white one. The Saturday I went to buy one, I was told they couldn't sell me a silver or white one because a recall on the transmission had been issued the day before. They other colors weren't affected though but a) I didn't want a different color and b) it made me wonder if Toyota truly had got past their problems. I ended up with a Subaru Forrester but never liked that vehicle.
There’s a recall on the 2024 RAV4?
Made a much better decision, Toyota RAV’s are overrated, and they have just as many problems as other brands if not more. Friend of mine has a 2015 Forester, going on 180,000 miles, the only thing that needed to be replaced tires battery and they service it, Toyota fans will make a big deal out of that. Bottom line is Toyota is getting worse with quality, meanwhile, Subaru and Mazda’s are getting better
No more Toyotas for me after my 2022 tundra blew at 28,000 miles while on vacation on July 4, 2023. I could’ve lived with the blowen engine, but their repair solution was a joke. Toyota’s customer service was a joke. All they did was apologize and then lie on the backside. It took me six months before my Lemon Law buyback check came through. They did give me a Toyota Tacoma as a loaner for six months, but I still had to buy a new truck to tow my camper.
Hope they recover but its going to take a while for them to work their way out of all the trouble they are in at this time. All older toyota models should all still be very good, I personally have 2016 tundra, 2002 4 runner, 2012 Lexus, all great and not getting rid of any of them
It'd be nice if they could get customers there second key fob. Maybe we'll get it before it's time to trade it in.
I own a 21 Tundra and a 23 Rav4 hybrid I will not buy the new truck cause of issues with the engines and not sold on the style either
You didn't mention the Tacoma transmissions failing. Some right after being purchased.
deburr issues in large production is normal, specially when you are making head or the block, problem is that they cant properly do quality control, its either they dont have people with expertise in machining or they rushed production line so they do not have full data on tool life
I hope this isn't a race to the bottom. Once they lose their reputation for quality it will take years to change that perception. I've only driven Toyotas and Hondas since the 1990s and for me, they have lived up to their quality reputation.
Funny to see how many Tundra commercials we have in r area compared to month ago. Also difference of $5-6k between dealers. Oh yeah my 2024 Tundra Platinum fuel gauge failed again. Sometimes I have a lot of gas and sometimes I hv very little gas. Never know real quantity.
stevie wonder is the quality expert overlooking toyota manufacturing
I upgraded from a 2015 Tacoma to a 2023 Tundra and chose the Tundra over all full size pickups based on Toyotas reputation. I like my tundra, it’s a hybrid with the TRD option and seems to run well but now I’m definitely worried. I splurged on this vehicle as it was not cheap and I hope Toyota remedies any issues with the vehicle. I still have my Tacoma just in case.
50 tundras on my dealers lot. Not selling here!
Too much thought in pushing out turbos, and relying too much on Hybrid systems for all applications. Prius, ok. Truck that pulls 10k lbs, ehh. They had a problem with the 3.3 V6, they quickly fixed it. I would be shocked if they brought back the 5.7 in order to sell them. At one point, the cams cracked from not being cast properly and had air bubbles in them.
my daughter 4 years sho driving 2012 highlander totaled the car in accident. the passenger front and side curtains did not come out. the adjuster turned the finding in to agencies
It’s an unreliable overrated brand. Stick with Subaru or Mazda….better all the way around. Just don’t believe the idiots about cvt and head gasket issues. Toyota drivers have other brand envy lol
Tesla makes safe cars. should get one
What do you think of the Corolla cross?
RAV, Corollas & Camrys are in major need as they are some of the few reliable lesser priced vehicles on the market.
Just bought my daughter a 2016 Rav4 LE w/111K miles. Very clean inside and out, drove/braked straight. Plain and ordinary but will last her for years. To hell with turbo motors and CVT trannys.
Few owners have reported catastrophic issues with their Tacoma transmission. Would this error eventually become yet another recall?
Then is there a car brand to go with instead? I’m an inexperienced car buyer. I don’t want the frustration of having to second guess myself on an expensive purchase. Is Mazda more reliable instead? What about Honda?
Do not buy a 2024 tacoma or 2020 on tundra
Toyota/Lexus is quickly becoming a legal target rich environment (aka as class action). WOW 😮!!!
I almost bought a Toyota last week but I put money into maintaining my '15 Crosstrek instead. I dont need another car payment.
Did not Ford have an air bag recall some years back as well?
