Toyota's Top 3 Catastrophes Exposed!

Wow surprising information. I have been lucky with Toyota's (2000 Solara, 2022 Camry, and 2008 4Runner) all of which have performed flawlessly. I'm into over 15.5 years with my 4Runner and everything still looks and works like new.

My wife's RAV 4 has 135 000 kms and has needed new water pump, new battery and an AC condenser in 8 years. The water pump and battery were just replaced weeks ago. Overall it is pretty good. I changed the battery myself. Got one from Costco.

This video shows that no car is perfect these days .every car has its week point somehow..but some are better than others.. Great video Mark thanks 👍

My wife is looking at the new Lexus GX and we do have concerns with the new engines. We have owned 7 Lexus vehicles since 2001.

I’m by far a car person but this year I bought myself the Highlander. I love everything about it and my 1st Toyota

My 1978 Datsun 120Y is still running!

My 03' Buick Lesabre that I owned for 17 years NEVER had any problems with catalytic converters.

I am concerned about the new turbo releases - we’ll see how these new Toyota engines will fair.

That Camry engine was used in the Scion XB, too. Most of the Scion line used older tech so you would think it was reliable and 'bulletproof', this was one failure in that small-car lineup they had for a few years. Another was back in the 1980s, the Tercel. Lots of reports of engine failures due to oil burning. I had an '82 Tercel hatchback, it ran for 160K miles before it started burning oil but it still ran great as my 'daily driver'. At that point it would not pass California's emission standards anymore so I traded it in.

the v-8 in my Lexus LS was the best engine I ever owned, smooth, quiet, good gas mileage, plenty of power when needed. to go to a twin turbo 6 just cannot match it.

I daily my 24 year old Lexus, a 2000 GS400 and its built like an absolute bank vault. I have always trusted Toyota/Lexus implicitly altho i must admit im not exactly in tune with how their quality is today vs back then. Im hoping its still really good.

glad we bought a 2018 V6 camry and our 22 GX460. with the GX in Edmonton during the winter with winter tires. the thing is a tank lol

My 2015 avalon v6 blew a headgasket at 75k miles, my 2014 Camry torque converter was junk by 80k miles and Toyota would not honor warranty. Other than my 3rd gen 4runner havent had good luck with Toyotas.

Im no mechanic by any means. So i beat, neglect and abuse my 04 Corolla cus i really dont care. Had it 5 years and always instantly starts and never have left me stranded 235k. Might as well weld the hood shut. Its a beast

I'm pretty sure that Camry at the end of the video is a 2004...not 2005. I bought a new 2005 Camry LE and took care of it for 218,000 miles and 15 years. It was as trouble-free as any car ever built! Then I bought a new 2020 Camry LE. I guess I've dodged a couple of bullets!

My wife had a 2016 Rav4 and at 80 thousand miles it started shuddering when accelerating. Dealership said it needed a new torque converter and was going to cost $4,500 to repair. Funny thing is there was a recall for the torque converter on the 2013-15 models but not 2016 despite the technician telling me that he sees that same issue very often on the 2016 and up as well. Needless to say that car got traded.

I am in Qatar and I am in car industry.... Love this kind of videos

Well said I've been fortunate so far with my 2002 made in Japan 2azfe in my 1986 forerunner had the 22re with 5 speed manual

We have a 2023 RAV4 Adventure, naturally aspirated 4 cyl. Three weeks ago, under the pressure of nuptials so to speak, we traded in my 2022 Tacoma sport V6 also naturally aspirated and bought a 2024 Toyota Crown platinum because for some reason which I am not certain, we needed a sedan. We paid 51K out the door...I fear the turbo hybrids and I did not want the car, because of the hybrid turbo. I wanted to keep the Tacoma but as you married folks know!

Yes, modern Toyotas are getting more expensive to repair. Our family has been a BMW users in the past 19 years from E90 E70 to F30 and F15 as of today. We acquired Toyota RAV4 recently for heavy daily use, as we are asking the service department how much are the parts like replacement LED headlights $1395/piece. AGM battery incl installation $495. Winter tire set $1500. Key fob replacement $695 incl programming. Brake service fluid, rotors, pads. $1700. Centre console screen $2,399 not including diagnostics. Modern cars are have some “German” tech now like the Toyotas A25 engine on Rav4 has a continuous motor that controls the variable timing, has and electronic water pump and eight injectors on a 4 cylinder engines. 😅
