Well we are in trouble when it comes to reliability,everything is junk now.
Ys its all headed there
Toyota is now as bad as Ford, GM and Stellantis. How Sad!
Honda V6s are the only vehicles left
@@loum.4377 I wouldn't go that far,cause they still have other reliable models,where as Gm,Ford,and Stellantis don't have any reliable models,(corolla, camry,avalon,forerunner)
Blame the epa
Toyota is basically overrated for the asking price. Used prices are prohibited and point to other select models of other vehicles that are newer and more depreciated.
Faking crash testing is unforgivable. They will probably under class action lawsuits over this. Also when someone gets killed or severely injured in one of these vehicles, they are going to end up paying serious coin in the courts.
Right there, Toyota can never ever be trusted again!
My 2008 crown Victoria with 162,000 miles doesn’t burn a drop of oil. It’s crazy that now burning up to 1 quart per 1000 miles is considered normal.
They are great engines
As far as what's on the market right now. I'm a big fan of what Mazda is doing amongst the Japanese brands.
Mazda was only caught cheating safety tests on cheap vehicles like the mazda 2 and other little cars that mostly just poor or tiny city type of countries got. The rest of their stuff in major markets are fantastic.
Hey cheating ain’t everything😂
I have a CX-3 that is excellent thus far, 55k. Not long enough to really tell, but we'll see. I usually drive cars to 200k+.
Toyota owns a piece of Mazda and Subaru!
Mazda and toyota building some models on same assembly line...mazda hybrid is from toyota mostly
The days of getting 200K miles plus are over.
I think there will be less and less
Toyota/ Lexus and most other Japanese manufacturers are still more reliable than any American car brand.
Or any German brand.
I heard German cars used to be very reliable 50-70 years ago. But Not anymore. I don't know why!!

I brought two that made in Japan one 1980 Celica with R-20 engine that has 33K original miles. I had a hardtime to get insurance in MA that cost 1.2K per year back in 1987 was high. I never had problem, but I sold it to President of GM for Framingham plant for his son HS graduation. I brought Trecel new and ran it for 17 years until I crashed it. When the check engine was on due to Charol Canister and I called Japanese tech support while I was in Japan, they send me a brand new parts that cost $500.00 for free plus paid for installation.
Honda has finally started to pull back on the turbo engines, see the 2025 Honda Civic.
Yep. Besides exterior looks, the anemic 1.5T for LX and EX is a large part of why Accord sales are in the toilet.
Yes the Ridgeline still has the reliable Vtech V6 without a turbo. Best engine in a midsize truck.
That's good. Toyota needed to be knocked down a notch or two. They were getting WAY too big for their britches. With various fees, worthless dealer "add-ons", destination and dock charges etc, etc, they tried to charge me $5k over the invoice. This included $80 for the air in the tires! When I told them to stuff it and walked away, they just laughed and said that if I didn't want to pay it, the next guy would. I don't think I will ever buy another Toyota.
Just my 2 cents. All of this turbo craze by manufacturers is in response to the EPA and CAFE needs for mpg and meeting government regulations.
Exactly it’s largely regulations pushing this but also a competition with other brands to provide more power, efficiency and tech
@@ECPP My 33 year old JEEP is still running nicely! Don't pick on older Jeeps, they were simple and well made.
My understanding is that Toyota can still choose to sell the v6 and v8s but will face some government costs. So I agree with you but I just think it is an important note that they can choose to still sell the others. I don’t believe the are forced at this point. Not that you said forced.
True that.. It's naturally aspirated or nothing
My 2 cents, I dont give a flying flip. They can easily spend millions lobbying against EPA but they dont because they want the EV gubment cheese.
I purchased my first Mazda in early 2022 after a poor & problematic 2020 model year Toyota ownership experience that lasted only around 2 years & 10K miles before I decided to ditch it. I purchased/drove nothing but Honda & Toyota before that dating back to 1982 & 10 different new vehicles during that time, & feel that neither Toyota or Honda today has the dedication to build quality that they once had.
Sadly it seems to be a different time and place for ALL brands
And that’s why I try to buy cheap. No high tech crap. The simple the better
Come on Toyota. New Toyota's is already falling apart like Chinese motorcycle. Keep up good work ❤️👍🏼
They are not customer focused any more either and their vehicles are expensive in comparison with competitors.
Fallen behind in customer satisfaction and product reliability, just not worth the money.
I knew this was coming. Ever since the pandemic, quality control took a nose dive and haven't really recovered since.
People are Ok with reduced standards too
Toyota is still better than most, but they are definitely not as good as the older ones! And with the way things are going I see more problems from them, and all the other manufactures too.
I agree 100% with you!
Toyota is now a member of the junk car manufacturers. Doctoring crash results? Main bearing failures? Unreliable turbochargers? Burning excessive oil? More failures are on the way. At one time this was the most reliable automotive leaders, not anymore.
Had a brand new 2016 Toyota Corolla that had issues within the first 20k miles. Car was at the dealership for 4 months. Generally however i agree toyotas are very reliable especially older ones but did put a bad taste in my mouth considering that car didnt do anything good, but come 2020 and working as a tech for toyota, i knew quality was going downhill and so was reliablity. We have so many new toyotas coming in with fuel injector issues, fuel pump issues, bypass valve issues, brake rotors warping within 10k miles, infotainment screens not working etc etc. Not to mention a decent amount blown engines and transmissions below 100k miles. Best bet if you want to own a reliable long lasting vehicle is to just buy a used toyota, lexus or a used bmw non turbo inline 6. Parts are cheaper by miles on some of these older cars.
Honda as well. My 2024 Hybrid sport touring had fuel injectors go bad after 230 miles. Yes, 230 miles...
@@BorderTurrets Seems quality has gone downhill in general across the board for new cars all while having the parts be even more expensive than a lot of older cars. New injectors range between $200-$400 on newer cars for just one injector compared to less than $100 for OEM and OE replacements.
Weird.I have a 2019 corolla with the cvt which people despise with over 200k miles on the odometer with zero problems.Pristine maintenance though.Usually they don’t miss on the corollas but hopefully you got it lemon lawed
Yeah I have a 2021 Rav4 that needed a new fuel pump. And only had 8 thousand miles at the time.
@@chrismayher617 Toyota transmission from my experience are always hit or miss. Most people are lucky and definitely a portion of people who are not. I've replaced a lot of 2019-2021 CVT transmissions on Corollas all under warranty, even had a case where a replacement transmission failed within 40k miles.
Used to work for DENSO. In addition to my oxygen sensor workload, they asked if I wanted to get into fuel pumps. Luckily, I declined. There is a definite quality issue at TOyota these days, the 3.4L twin turbo V-6 is a mess. Sad for Toyota. However, compared to Kia and Hyundai,, Toyota will fix these issues much faster than their Korean counterparts. The use of turbos is wrong, but turbos are not able to surpass 150k miles without turbo replacement. How do I know, my company remans turbos. The CAFE requirements do put pressure on the mfgs to add turbos to their powertrains, but this is also a ticking timebomb. NIssan uses a variable compression engine in their Rogue three cylinder turbo. I think that cost cutting is also taking ahold of the industry, the VC NIssan engines are a good example. COnsumers must be more wary of all mfgs these days. Sad to see that Toyota is falling as well. Great video!
Thank you so much, and I agree, there has never been a more important time for consumers to do their research.
Toyota does not have some magic formula for reliability. The reason Toyotas can be reliable is because they keep things simple. These new turbo charged Toyota engines are a lot more complex and we see Toyota reliability is now similar to German brands. I would avoid all Turbo Charged engines. Naturally aspirated engine or naturally aspirated with Hybrid is the way to go.
"Naturally aspirated engine or naturally aspirated with Hybrid is the way to go." YES
turbocharged engines are for race cars. naturally aspirated engines are for passenger cars. turbocharged 4-cylinder engines are NOT for pickup trucks. why can't Toyota understand this?
Hybrids are way more complex than turbocharged engines. Electric motors and batteries are far more expensive to replace than turbos or intercoolers.
To much plastic fit into the cars now days.
if u dont trust toyota . what brand u going trust. i have nothing.
You could never just trust a brand and can trust certain models because certain Toyota models have been junk.Ex. You can trust N/A with battery setup Toyotas.The N/A 5 liter v8 in an F-150.Even the new Frontier looks like it’s going to be pretty reliable
You can always buy a used Lexus they are all great and will last at least 300 to 400000 miles
@@jamesbaine580not anymore, all Toyota products are failing now.
@@jamesbaine580 Thats All ????
Mazda seems to be on the up and up
I have a highlander 2019 with no issues at all, love my 6cyl with no turbos. I wouldnt change my highlander for the newest model, too many issues and complaints with new engines and technology
I researched the heck out of the Highlander, Honda Pilot Trailsport, Nissan Pathfinder and Subaru Ascent. I completely passed over Hyundai/KIA. I was looking to replace my tried and true 2017 Nissan Frontier Pro 4x. It was very difficult to replace a truck with an SUV but our needs have changed. I still wanted somewhat capable AWD for “soft roading” vs the great 4wd on the Pro-4x.
I settled on the 2024 Honda Pilot Trailsport. I really believed that the engineers did this particular trim level of the Pilot Trailsport right. Naturally aspirated V6, 10 speed transmission and specific changes to the tried and true Ivtm -4 awd system for the Trailsport. It is also capable of towing up to 5000 lbs and comes nicely equipped with some modern tech as well. I am trusting in the Honda reliability to keep this for the long term.
The Toyota Hylander had a turbo 4 and was much more expensive, and the Nissan (although it had a naturally aspirated v6) was nowhere near as well built as the Honda. The Subaru had a turbo 4 with CVT and I passed on that as well.
As mentioned in the video, do your homework and we should all make the manufacturers aware of issues and hold them accountable for “cheating” etc. Money talks!
So far I am really pleased with the Honda Pilot Trailsport.
Thanks for the great vid and info.
Start saving now so you can pay for timing belt replacement.
Fact is the average sedan and SUV has about 30,000 precision made parts. It's amazing they work as well and last as long as they do!
Thanks for sharing. Yes quite a marvel indeed
2015 Toyota Sienna engine had a problem after a few thousand miles. Luckily, it's still under warranty. But come on, it's toyota !
That’s a fair statement
Tacoma, Tundra and 4 Runner sales have plummeted. They will continue to do so
true
Sometimes to much Automotive technology is overdone and bring more problems than good. It's been a question that the metal that go's into the making of those new cars is not the best gage steel being used? Sometimes we have to wonder, are they thinking of making future big profits, installing turbos on all vehicles. Because all of us who know turbos cause problems in any car because of the obvious thermo cycles and the plastics or poor made manufacturing after time. And they know it..!
Toyota's have always had issues, but they used to not have issues that would prevent the car from driving. Modern engines are all turbocharged and finely tuned, so they won't tolerate manufacturing errors or a lack of maintenance. The days of skipping oil changes on your car are done. There are plenty of reliable engines out there, but they don't let you be lazy or cheap anymore. And that goes for manufacturers too. If they slip up in the factory, the engines will have problems. That wasn't always the case in the past.
100% this. Low tension rings, cam phasers, turbos. 5k mile oil changes people. Not 10 or 15k then you get issues. Old engines didn’t have these features so were less prone to having issues due to extended oil change intervals.
That’s fair and this is a big issue
.......... " Modern engines are all turbocharged " Simply incorrect........NOT all New vehicles have Turbo's
Mark the current CEO of Toyota is Kōji Satō he replaced Akio Toyoda who was the grandson of Kiichiro Toyoda who founded Toyota.
I can't wait to have a son to talk about cars with... 😊😊
Cheers
Some daughters are good at discussing cars nowadays.
I refuse to buy a new Honda if it has a 1.5L turbo, oil dilution issues and CVT transmissions. I'M OUT!!!
Yes they blew it too
Stay away👍
More like Honda is no longer that trusting brand - they are in bed with those two poisonous letters “GM…”
Only with their EVs, and that’s a stopgap until Honda gets their own platform ready. Oh, and Honda has definitely shipped some lemons, especially transmissions.
There is a good reason why New cars, have warranty of 5 years or 60,k miles, there's a good chance. The car was not built correctly, which could cause engine or transmission problems.That's why they have that warranty. Otherwise if you'll pass that time with no engine or transmission problems that means it was built correctly. So buy 5 years old and 60,k miles with a long test drive keep up the maintenance and it will last 225,k ++ miles.
We own two 2021 Rav 4 Primes made in Japan with a 2.5 L naturally aspirated with a eCVT
We also just purchased a 2025 Camry with the same power train made in Kentucky.
Cross my fingers we don’t get hosed.
Keeping fingers crossed
Where is all the single cell organisms bragging about 5 million mile corollas
Haha
Yes, I don’t mind renting a Toyota now & then, but wouldn’t own one again. Years ago, my first car was a Toyota Corolla & it had amazing longevity- trouble-free, but when I drove my Mom’s Toyota Corolla which she actually used w/relative infrequency & short distances, it was a major oil-burner. I constantly had to check it & that’s a serious concern/red flag.
You have to keep up on 5k mile oil changes on modern engines with low tension rings and turbos etc. none of this 10k or 15k mile changes. Then you get sludge in the rings and because they are low tension they stop sealing properly and you have burning oil
The earlier 2000’s Corolla burned oil not the newer ones.I change my brother in laws oil on his Corolla and that one is an oil burner because he goes 10k miles between oil changes.I have a 2019 Corolla cvt with 200k on the odometer but it’s well maintained.Guessing it’s the maintenance she never does
I have the Toyota 2az fe engine with the low tension rings. Touch wood, it hasn't burned oil yet. I'm doing 3000 mile oil changes. I pray, I seriously pray the piston rings will survive.
It's more about if fuel & or oil bypass the rings and cause burning oil & destroying catalytic converters or oil dilution.... destroying the engine 🤷
I bought my 2005 Camry LE new...absolutely a mechanical marvel. 15 years and 218,000 miles later I buy a new 2020 Camry LE. Just under 20 K miles and no issues yet. It has a five-star crash rating in all the categories. Maybe I escaped some of the "new" quality issues with Toyota. The 2.5 Dynamic Force engine has plenty of power and unbelievable milage.
Toyotas sales are completely dependent upon their “undoubtable and unquestionable reliability” Well that’s gone with the wind, better than most but that’s not enough anymore.
When the economy goes bad, companies in business cut down onquality of cut down on products.
Exactly
The less technology, the better. Go back to basics, with long lasting materials, quality parts, and only moderate technology. No screens.
Agree 💯🤦♂️ , I’ll keep longer my ‘13 Camry XLE, only REAL problem ? the VVT-i cam gear rattling and I’m working on it right now , no leaks, no burning oil, no transmission shuddering, just regular maintenance 😃
That’s a good run so far
Totally agree. I will never buy a new Toyota.
i own 2 toyotas, but will never buy another one because i don't trust the company anymore and their dealers have been shafting people since the C9 virus happened (2020).
I hv 3 toyotas, served me well. Its your choice
@@abdulazizabdullah6497 I’ve had 6 Toyotas. All great cars pre -2009. I have zero use for the company now … the same way I have zero use for watching the new woke star wars flicks.
So true!
Indeed, its a sad state of affairs
What happened with Toyota?
Too much too soon
qualty is crap now.
Looks like Bmw are even more reliable than Toyota nowadays lol
What I like with Toyota is they honestly admitted their mistakes. With their turbos and twin-turbos, I don’t think they’re as reliable as their naturally aspirated engines, as well as V6s and V8s.
I have a 2006 Lexus GS 300. I bought it used 13 years go and I maintain it religiously. I hope to be able to keep this car for many more years. The rear bumper cover is slightly damaged over the years but the car is otherwise immaculate. I took it in to a body shop I trust this AM and I am willing to pay the $1700 to put a new cover on the car. I just do not understand paying 50--65k +++ for a new car. Even a cheap car will cost 25+k. The license, tax, and insurance on a new car is 10K +!! Warren Buffet drives a 5 year old Lincoln. Give it a break people………………….
Today I asked my Toyota parts rep and according to him the issue with tundra engine existed for 2022 and early 2023’s only. Calling the dealer with the vin number would clarify your medal.
The new Tundra engine is da bomb! Many go, KaBoom!
Haha literally
The one thing that kept Toyota very reliable is it did not change their engines and transmissions. The Toyota 4Runner kept the same platform for years. Not very fuel efficient, years of continuous r& d behind it. You're going to see issues with all the manufacturers with the push for better fuel economy and electrification. I would advise everyone now, if you want something new lease it for 2 years and turn it in.
All Tacomas are now made in Mexico, with workers making $2.75 an hr. I doubt QC is high there.
how many vehicles have you heard of manufactured in Mexico that is reliable ?
No company manufactures in Mexico to create a higher quality product! I'm sure the Mexicans could build high quality products if they were given a chance to do so.
The same quality as a union employee in the USA.
@@johnhoover7869 The Chinese parts are assembled with care in Mexico
2017 Honda CRV 1.5L Turbo CVT@ 115k. Still drive like a brand new vehicle with regular maintenance and changing spark plugs and serpentine belt once. It is very reliable turbo vehicle with actually better than advertised MPG. I get 36.1 Avg.
They all laughed at Nissan but look where the other Japanese 2 are now ..
It was just Nissan CVT that was the issues and they solved those over the years .. Now its time for the other 2 to face the fury
Auto manufacturers seem to have gotten greedy as hell during and since Covid. It makes no sense why they are so willing to screw past and current customers with ridiculously high prices and low quality.
All those problems you mentioned happen to all cars. Toyota is the most reliable car manufacturer in the world! The oil burning is due to bad maintenance. You can’t abuse low tension piston rings every manufacturer burns oil when you abuse your maintenance.
I’ll stick to my 5.0 v8. I pull off 12.3L/100km putting around the Calgary area. Not bad for a full size-ish truck.
That’s certainly liveable
I know this is a global probelm, but I'll speak as a Canadian. This is the fault of a uncompromising idelogical government in Canada headed by the Liberals. 75% of Candians do not want these inferior vehicles; they want their K-series NA engines. Maybe 25% of Canadians, mostly in DT Toronto and Vancouver, who live in tiny apartments without families, do favour this. We must stand up to this nonsense, elect a new gov't pronto, and insist the market determine the supply of and type of engineering going into cars, not gov't subsidies and regulations.

Great video Mark, Toyota/Lexus did get busted, and as consumer's we all need to be vigilant in terms of what we're choosing to buy these days. As I commented to you previously, these vehicle's are all being made to be disposable, through planned obsolescence, and literally designed parts to fail, and/or only last as long as the warranty period. NO Automaker is truly making a decent quality product any longer, they're rolling computer components, and modules with a 3-5 year life span at best. Thanks again Mark for all that you do, have a good one, cheers!
Today BMW cars are even more reliable and affordable. Yeah BMW is more expensive but affordable, sounds ridiculous.

Any time!
We bought a 2023 RAV4, naturally aspirated 4cyl, and the reason was reliability. We had a 2022 Tacoma Sport with V6, too, but no longer needing the truck, I was "convinced" that we "needed" to buy a 2024 Crown hybrid max,, and it's a niche car, made in Japan (I hope that makes for better QC), but I fear the technology. Never did with the Tacoma.
IMO, government mandates are impacting the bottom line profits, to where even the OG auto makers are cutting design and QC corners. American Companies actually manufacture EVs at a loss. Even if Toyota and Honda produce an "average" vehicle, the competition is producing CRAP. So what are you going to choose?
It's such that, to your point, that some BMWs are looking "reliable"
Another good video Mark!
@@thomashelm6931 Adding to this, as you correctly state, the infrastructure to support the EV mandates are virtually non-existent, so it comes down to which manufacturer is producing the least mediocre of the mediocre. Very disappointed in Toyota.
Even though Toyota has had some issues & problems of late, I am still loyal to the brand as the Toyota Motor Corporation has always stood beside me when I've had an issue & made it right. I had a 2000 Tundra Limited which had a recall with the exhaust manifolds & even though I was well out of the recall's warranty period (in time), I was under the mileage limit for the recall. My dealership went to bat with Toyota & got both manifolds replaced at no charge to me. I'd still be driving the vehicle if some lady hadn't ran a Stop sign right in front of me. Then I bought a low-mileage used 2005 Tacoma truck only to find out later that the frame needed to be replaced due to rust (my bad for not having a pre-inspection done). I had to wait for two years for a class action lawsuit to resolve itself through the courts, but Toyota finally did replace the entire frame on my truck giving me a brand new foundation for a low-mileage powertrain with a body almost in perfect condition. Hence, I now own both a 2015 4Runner Limited (w/54K) & a 2022 Avalon Touring (w/8K). Am very loyal to the Toyota brand but I'd stay away from the new twin-turbo 6 cylinders until they get their act together. I suspect that Toyota will end up repairing or replacing a lot of those engines just as they had to replace the frames on the Tacomas & some early Tundras.
They have big scandals here in Indonesia (also South East Asia in general) regarding their safety testing standard. Check it out. Partly due to their subsidiaries, Daihatsu.
As far as performance the Europeans car manufacturers have that market ..PERIOD BUUUUUUT as far as reliability and maintenance Japanese and Korean car manufacturers have that market..PERIOD. I owe a Audi Q5 and took it to the dealership for repairs and notice that the majority of the Audi mechanics drive HONDAS and Toyotas. One mechanic told me "WE WORK ON AUDIs BUUUUUUT WILL NOT OWE ONE..HUMMM 🤔🤔
the words "korean, car and reliability" do not belong in the same sentence. if you want a reliable car, buy a used toyota or honda.
@exoticcarplayplace it would be great if you had a video showing vehicles and the milage point at which they became unreliable. I am strongly considering purchasing a bmw x5 xdrive40i inline 6 w/ 50k miles based on your recommendation that they have great engines and transmissions but I assumed you meant until 180k-200k miles. In this video you say only until 100k-120k. Some clarification on what you consider reliable might be needed as well.
Oh no, just bought Toyota Rav4 Hybrid! should i return it?
No
The twin turbo v6 can't use any fuel when the engine blows up and in the shop, Toyota is turning into the rest of the industry and will end up as a large lawn ornament
Ouch

So now Subarus and Mazda should be in the same conversation, regarding safety! Toyota has there hands in both of them!
Blame the EPA
Put paint meter on the new ones! Buyer beware
Haha
Toyota is no longer reliable, Toyota is more focused on Tech, rather than reliable engines. They are falling into the fuel-efficiency car market, rather than the long-term vehicles.
Yes they seem to have lost their focus
According to JD Power, Lexus and Toyota are still the most reliable cars in 2024…have driven Toyota and Lexus for 30 years and never had one in the shop …never let me down! I’m stckingmwith them.
Exactly go with whatcha know. Anything more reliable out there ? Buick? lol Ford? Haha Jeep? No way Hyundai and Kia? Good till they burn.

We're still loving ❤️ our 2024 Camry Hybrid Nightshade Edition.....have no desire to buy a 2025.Water pump on our 2009 Camry went out at 20k miles...water pumps are weak.
We have to be very diligent with maintenance. Many cars will last if you take good care of them. Cut those intervals down and keep watch of the oil dipstick. The YT channel The Car Care Nut has great advice.

Toyotas only selling on their name- In Australia Ive seen lots with pealing paint and not just white too (red and blue Ive seen). Id rather Mazda.
Everyone would move to newer technology and Toyota would just linger in previous tech but excelled in reliability. With all of these regulations now, no one is safe. Everyone is testing out new things. However, i do think Toyota is right though. Hybrid > EV.
Yes and it’s still the effort to make things better is what works at Toyota
So sad 😢 that Toyota ❤ has come to this. I still love 💕 my 2016 Corolla.

Mark, your the best. Love watching your informative video's, but it is time for you to upgrade your tin sounding microphone!!!!
Could it be that American auto plants are to blame for reliability because Toyota vehicles straight from Japan are much more reliable.
I was a Toyota customer but when I saw too much rust on my Landcruser and Rav4 I switched to Honda brand so far not bad till now most their small medium cars switched to CVT. NOW I AM losing that brand Loyalty as well but there is no more Japanese companies you can rely on. Forget the American brand or the expensive German ones. I hope Honda listens and get back to reliable motor company to lose CVT in favor of Regular Autos ND may be manual or better yet the Auto manual s that German s used to offer.
Me too, so I now have a Mazda cx5, made in Japan, no cvt or turbo. So far so good. Back to basics, less is more = perhaps more dependable vehicle. I hope so
