Toyota was never a leader or innovator of technological advances. Toyota was always old school, good old reliable, tried and true technology. Advancing in technology is definitely stepping out of their comfort zone. They’re not used to being here. A lot of people used to voice their opinions about how Toyota was always old school. I think this new Toyota is a product of what people wanted. I remember when the 2nd generation Tundra 1st came out people were like ugh! It get 13 MPG. Now the 2nd generation Tundra resale is worth more than a 22-23 year Tundra 🤦🏻♂️
I think Ahmed from Car Care Nut said it on his latest video: Companies can't keep up with EPA requirements so they are rushing tech that is not proven.
i have to agree with him. the politicians are setting targets for emissions that are difficult to achieve especially in respect with the timeline. cars today are way too complicated and harder to repair.
I was just at Amd's shop last Wednesday and I drive 150 miles to have him service my Lexus.
@@aeromtb2468 Politicians are also out for money and power. They aren't benevolent to the people. They know very well that pressurizing car companies will strengthen their hold on power. To add to this, Elon has been a boon to them. Tesla cars are fantastic in terms of technology, but what made Tesla cars sell in huge numbers is politics.

Do NOT take this video down if Toyota is actually trying to cover things up! Freedom of speech doesn’t exclude Toyota. You’ve grown your channel this big based off of your honesty and integrity when reviewing and reporting things, don’t be bullied by any of these huge corporations.
This just shows Toyota doesn’t care. They want profit not reputation
@@naveenthemachine Every company does that. Even your favorite Hyundai had been using child labor until they got caught, but you seem to avoid that topic since your Hyundai-loving side would get hurt.
"Freedom of Speech" has nothing to do with this... "Freedom of Speech" protects you from Government censorship/viewpoint discrimination...
People gotta understand that looking good, good technology != reliability.
@@mottom2657That’s true, none of these companies are stellar when it comes to morality. All huge corporations exist to appeal to shareholders and making big profits.
I feel like Toyota has overextended itself. They sell 38 models here in the US. 38! They are pushing out so many drastically different models that it's impossible to keep everything in check
And they keep adding more- crown signia
Just asking, how did you get 38? Not sure if you’re counting different powertrains as a seperate vehicle but I’m getting 24 individual models, not including the different powertrains you can get on them
I do kinda agree. Like who asked for the Toyota crown? They should have either given us a redesigned Avalon or discontinued it. Even the crown signia as nice as it is. They already have so many nice suvs, idk why they thought they needed another $40k-50k one
I work at the plant. No production because everything is being investigated throughly to Come up with a countermeasure to insure good quality and safety is put into each grand highlander.
Try not to be bias do you like the gh? Would you buy one for yiur family if you could?
@@ky9263yes I like it! They are very nice and really big on the inside! Toyota is always going to stand by their product 100%. I would buy one if I could afford one forsure and If I had kids and a wife!
Not worried for Toyota. People make a fuss over something small. They’ll fix it like they fixed all the other issues in the past.
But how long. The tundras been screwed for two years.
@@americandude3825It takes awhile to fix a problem like that. I think the Alabama factory needs to redo the entire QC system. Heck, the entire US operations needs to rehaul the QC department. Rest of the places like Europe, Asia, and Japan have hardly any issues.
@@mrgurulittle7000 agreed!
@@jayh6900 I wish.
@@mrgurulittle7000 It's happening to lexus vehicles with the 3.5 too. It's probably a design flaw.

What is going on with Toyota/Lexus they take so long to put out new models and then major recalls after the vehicle is released. I need Toyota and Lexus to get back to their roots.
@@user-FTRU6GJolder Toyotas have been better
Toyota and Japan as a whole is stuck in the 90's model and even is the keirutsu model have been whinning they still have too much influence especially in embedded large multi-national. All that Japan tech is embeded, are their fun, quirky and awesome we made to believe they live in the future have been usually embeded tech's, without flexibility. of the 90's. And for some reason, their PC and DIY market been really weak as hell. Artisanal, if you will, and not flexible skill to make other things etc. I won't go into the lost decade of Japan as other Asia watcher have done a way better job. As I said in a Japan(and culture/second dimension/2-Jigen) living forum, I will be ok to be their for 6 months but no more, I will miss the openess and big truck and cars of the Americas and the crowdness or cozyness of living spaces will get to me. And their way of thinking
I still prefer Akio Toyoda as the chairman because he knows what we want more than we ourselves know it. He smashed EVs single-handedly for the good of consumers. The Toyota quality issues are to be blamed on the QC management at American Toyota factories.
Isn't the rating on this vehicle still the second highest for the small overlap? And across the board the rating is Good?
I do know one thing my Lexus customer service is awesome so I have no concerns until I know more
Tmmi talks facebook group shutdown because the administrator had a serious car accident and needed time off. It had nothing to do with this. Toyota employees have a lot of Facebook groups that have not been shutdown. Let's not have a rumor of Toyota silencing people when they are not. I'm not a big supporter of Toyota and I'm here for anyone tearing them down, but let's leave the speculation out of it.
Hope the admin is okay! 🙏
@KirkKreifels the admin is ok, just taking a much needed break to heal from the accident.
Maybe they'll switch over and actually make siennas to match demand for them.
It doesn't work like that since west plant doesn't build siennas
The Frontal bag seams to deploy crooked too, mabe it's a airbag manufacturer issue since the EV9 has a similar issue
I sell Toyotas and I've been selling the shit out of them. I can't get enough inventory. They're not going out of business 😂
Trucks?
bot
Yeah I see this new vehicle and the Lexus version all over where I live. Good looking vehicles.
I live right next to the Princeton plant and the Toyota dealership in our town is empty.
You aren’t sellin shit, you crumb.
We have indeed stopped production but only because we are waiting on the part for the fix so that this can be resolved soon
Do you work at the plant?
Bullshit
So the TTV6 was already in the LC 300 series from march 2021 and in the Lexus LS before that with no big issues as far as I know. So why issues in LX and tundra ?
More power/torque
actually that engine been in LS500 since 2017, and there are ppl on Lexus forums that did have engine problems with their LS500.
There have been bearing failures in the LS and Land Cruiser as well.
Because they don't know how to build turbo truck engines
Definitely going to get one after this 😊
An inline 6 with hybrid set up would be nice.
Impossible on a fwd platform
@KirkKreifels that is too bad , as I feel a 3 liter inline 6 would offer good power and smoothness compared to the 2.4 turbo 4.
@@byhsu6140 Mazda and BMW have what you’re describing. Sure it would be nice for it to come from Toyota but they need to make a new platform altogether and that’ll take years. Unless they choose to partner with someone.

How does Toyota Sienna rank for such crash testings?
interesting. i remember when toyota had to rebuild their reputation after the sudden acceleration incident over a decade ago. hope they get it together.
Another sad day for Toyota boys 😢
Well, even I'm fed up. If Toyota doesn't learn now, it won't in future.
Must be a proud “american” company RAM truck owner 😂😂
We still have faith in Toyota because of their strong past reputation and continued commitment to listen to consumers instead of pushing crap on us. Toyota will work this out.
@@mrgurulittle7000 Toy still working on FOOLCELLS and HYDROGEN fuel , they keep pushing those technologies , I keep getting notifications that Toyota is going to kill BEVs and that Toyota is going to BANKRUPT Tesla.😂
Turbo 4 made in Mexico is crap.
You were 100% right with your sources. Stop sale was issued earlier today on the Grand Highlander
Does this mean more Siennas?😂
Nope
This is sad for Toyota. I've owned first year Camry in 2007 and 2018 (bought in 2017) models and had no issues.
The reality is its not the issues it's how these OEM take care of customers that have been affected.
I have a 2011 Toyota Camry LE 2.5L with 100k miles and no issue ever. Give me a boring car with a reliable engine and transmission and stop listening to the government.
Toyota has alway had its problem they just have good pr and other vehicles they can point to. Going back to the 80s early 90s their truck V6 blew head gaskets and it wast a matter of if it was when. But Toyota had the legendary 22r to hang their hat on and point to. So is Toyota having some problems yup but they have other vehicles they can hang ther hat on and point to that will keep their reputation .
Yes that 22r was Toyota’s best
Ours was already built but was on hold. And we are only 2 and half hours from the plant in Princeton, Indiana.
Curious what the Dealership used as an excuse?
I was told this week that my GH Hybrid was held for a quality control check. I wonder if that's how they're trying to hide this.
Yikes. I have had a grand highlander since July 2023. What happens if there’s no fix? Will they buy it back? Has that ever happened before?
Got ours in September 2023. 50,000 km since then….
@@ExpeditionaryRangeryep 23k miles on mine …
@@DoggyU Good luck bud! We have four kids and are here on the classifieds looking for a stop gap measure just in case... old minivan or something.
I get mine in 2 weeks supposedly!!!
Same here got mine last july 17,2023. Family of 6… almost 12k miles on it. I already got the safety recall notification.
I wonder what the safety issues mean for the TX
There is no separate crash test for TX, it uses the same one for GH, so whatever is a problem for GH is applies to TX.
Thank you for this info. I have a TX on order that was just days from delivery, but was stopped at the depot in the Dallas area. The status: "Under study, check back every Friday after 12 pm - Vehicle delayed for 30 days - ETA unavailable". No other information was given to me.
I work at the plant. It wasn't stopped at any depot in Dallas. That's Toyota HQ for North America, they stopped it at the plant.
Same for the GH Hybrid I was supposed to take delivery of this month.
@@suprA91 It had already arrived in Dallas and was waiting to be put on a carrier to the dealer, so I'm not sure what you mean. The word we got was that they were also stopped in-freight.
@@geekmommy4 I misread. Headquarters is in Plano, near Dallas. It must have left our train yard just barely before we stopped. We stopped shipping them on trains beginning of last week. Stopped production Thursday, but theyve been just sitting in employees parking lot what has been built so far. Awaiting for them to find a fix.
TMMI TALKS was shut down due to the admins' own personal accident. It has NOTHING to do with the current issue. Also, you have some information wrong as to when they stopped shipping cars. Yes, production halted today, but the official release from Toyota was made today. It's a side panel airbag issue. It's more than likely a supplier issue.
The TTv6 engines are all made in alabama and shipped to Japan
That’s the issue. Toyota in Japan makes flawless vehicles.
do you have a source?
I have owned many Toyotas, I love toyota, I currently own a sequoia and a tundra. I am very skeptical of owning a toyota right now. I would buy an old Land Cruiser but work from my vehicle and apple car play is a game changer for me.
If another brand has good reliability and resale it’s sad to say but I maybe ready to jump ship
Emissions laws Biden is doing is making things unrealistic.
Try a Mazda their pretty nice and super underrated imo but unfortunately they don't sell a pickup truck
That's why I'm keeping my NA V6's in my 14 & 18 Lexus.
Thank you very much. I have given up on the idea of buying a Grand Highlander now, but are the same problems present in the old model, such as the small Highlander Hybrid?
Kirk, Look at all the sidewall on the rally Yaris. 😆
There isn't remedy for my 2021 Camry passenger airbag issue either and there's a recall on it
The driver side curtain airbag juts out of the window in the testing. Could the air curtain have been held in place better if the window was closed and didn't allow the dummy head to slip through? It seems like a variable that may need to be explored. I understand that testing standards can vary and these problems definitely need to be figured out ASAFP. It is good to know that there is still some consumer protection going on out there.
Window closed or open doesn't matter.
Airbags should be designed to WORK proper under both circumstances.
Case closed.
They failed..
Not a complete failure. The airbags mitigate more severe injuries and you can still get hurt from a deploying airbag.
When window is down or window breaks out, then the head hits the a pillar. It seems it might be ok if that window stays intact, but that would probably not happen in an offset crash.
I can confirm that there is a notification on my Toyota App for a safety recall with no remedies yet for my GH XLE for the side curtain airbag issue.
Good to see recalls and stop sales. When you don’t see these events occurring you likely have a bigger issue.
Thank you so much! You da best! 🥰👍
Thanks for the heads up on the Toyota issues .
Because of dealer markups and lead time a family member purchased a loaded RX350h instead of a limited hybrid grand highlander, for around effectively the same price
I work for Toyota I thought they had a fix new bearings, and we"re taking Tundras in on trade
yeah so there is a lot of speculation and misinformation going on… and people will believe whatever they see on the internet if it fits a narrative they already buy in to. I basically described every white midwestern boomer in the US
from what was described to me is a short block, full engine, buy back are all on the table. Not 100% sure though
@@providentpathfinders219 imagine paying 70k for a truck and then having your short block worked on. Id expect a brand new engine.
@@floggyWM1 Imagine a world where people all the sudden forgot the golden rule of never buy the first round of a new vehicle.
Tundra is not a new vehicle.
I was literally just about to drop $70k on a new Tundra, but will probably look elsewhere. What is happening to Toyota?
I'd wait it out until they get issues resolved.
It is when they said “no more boring cars.”
It ruined their brand.
Better off buying a F150. They now how to make trucks
Part of the issue with quality in every vehicle manufacturer now is that there are just too many damn models and sub models.
Does this mean the Kluger for Australia as we are RHD.
Kirk, does this mean more Sienna production? (because I heard that Sienna is made at the same factory as Grand Highlander and TX)
No. Sienna and highlander are unaffected. I wouldn't expect more production for those models
Sienna and Highlander are made at the same plant but in the east assembly shop which has its own parts and chassis supply lines
West assembly makes the Lexus tx and grand highlander, any shares parts will be sent to east assembly to make sure east continues running smoothly
As of now we do not have any modifications to build plan in east for increasing or decreasing numbers
As a Toyota employee who works at the TMMI plant, hopefully there's a fix soon. It's always scary when you don't know how long this could go on affecting hundreds if not thousands of people's jobs and livelihoods. Not to mention people's safety.
Is there a production halt on TX too? Sure they share the bones with the GH but need to know about TX too. Can a sales person at Lexus confirm?
No production in west plant period until further notice.
@dizzyundead312 I have a TX. Would it wise to trade it in then for something else?
If it is a faulty airbag, I hope these airbags aren’t Autoliv, considering that they are basically taking the void left behind by Takata
Time will tell what the issue and the fix is for sure!
Awe, and we were getting really interested in the Grand Highlander after our weekend test drive too! Ugh, just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water... 🦈 So much for "getting 'em off the street!"
It still did decent in the test.
Same here.
@@djplonghead5403 It did great structurally. Esp. compared to some other vehicle results.
What are the best cars with 3 rows of seats and a hybrid engine on the market now?
We just bought this car…
Mazda CX-90 is a IIHS Top Safety Pick +. CX-70 (which I own and so far, love. Turbo S Premium) has yet to be tested so it's just a IIHS Top Safety Pick. One would think it would be the same as the CX-90 but it appears the Grand Highlander has the side airbag deployment issue where the Highlander did not. I looked up the Highlander minus the Grand and it's just IIHS Top Safety Pick. I find that surprising.
My sister works at Toyota Indiana, she said they are having an announcement today
I hope so!
I literally finished my purchase last night at 10pm came home to find this video and returned the vehicle at 9am today! Thank you so much for protecting the public and my family......also my head 😂. Great work!
The TX was initially to be available in Matador Red but I understand an issue with the paint caused a stop to production with a statement that it would be available later. Any word yet from any Toyota production or management contacts as to when the red color will be available?
Good… maybe I can get my second key fob for my Grand Highlander. Been waiting 7 months for it. Love the Grand Highlander but it’s annoying as Heck when they only give you one key fob when you buy it and tell you it will be 3 months to get the second fob.
They probably can just make a different shape airbag
This information about the Grand Highlander is exactly why I NEVER buy the first or second model year of any newly introduced vehicle. The regular Highlander has been out for a while, and it has been pretty reliable so far. I think the regular Highlander is a solid buy right now, especially the hybrid version.
I don't think Toyota fully realizes the gravity of the situation. There are millions of people just in the US that only bought Toyota / Lexus, and nothing but Toyota / Lexus, not even considering anything else - That has changed big time. New pricing and dealer markup BS has killed the value aspect, reliability which was absolutely paramount is crumbling, and even styling and falling for trends (ridiculous tire / rim sizing) is front and center. My God this from the worlds largest auto manufacturer?
@@naveenthemachineIf I would have held my breath the first time you said Toyota is going out of business, I would have been dead many, many years ago. If Hyundai hasn't gone out of business yet, then Toyota has a long, long way to go
What has changed big time? Other than the fact that I like buying their cars, I don't gaf what Toyota does, but their sales have increased in North America, and 2024 JD Power results show Lexus and Toyota in the #1 and #2 spots. So if that's "crumbling" then so be it. Who knows what the future holds, but I'd be happy to own a "crumbling" company like this one.
@@naveenthemachineif Chrysler is alive Toyota will remain alive
@@ytj22JD Power? I would think all people here know more than the average person when it comes to cars but JD awards are meaningless. Any company can buy that award
@@user-FTRU6GJ sure, when it suits your argument
I have a deposit for a GH that is supposed to arrive this month. I think I will back out and wait a few more months.
Thanks for informing us
Is this exclusive for US Grand Highlanders? I'm in Canada and on the list for a 2025 Grand Highlander Hybrid
All Grand Highlanders come from the same factory regardless what country they are sold. Princeton, Indiana.
Very, very disturbing.
Here’s what needs to happen the GR GT3 needs to become Lexus’/Toyota’s new RWD platform. Like BMW’s CLAR platform (also hopefully Mazda does the same with the CX90’s platform). They can make the LX, RX, NX, IS, maybe the Supra/Celica on the platform. Get rid of the TX and sadly the GX from the Lexus lineup, there’s no point of them, you already have the Highlander, 4Runner, multiple versions of the Land Cruiser, etc.
Powertrains, they need to make an inline 6 from the G16E, have Yamaha help with that, they’d be great at it, they helped with the Ford SHO engine, and the 2000GT, LFA, 2UR, etc. Have the inline 6 be in the NX, RX, LX, IS, the rumored RC+LC replacement, possibly a next gen Supra. Then have the 2.0 inline 4 also be those cars (maybe a new Celica too) minus the LS, LX and RC+LC replacement. The new TT V8, have that in the higher trim vehicles like the LS, LX, and RC+LC replacement, maybe even the IS, and possibly the Tundra and Sequoia. For the transmission use the new GR-DAT (ZF8).
For the rest of Toyotas lineup, it just needs to go back to the basics and be a cheap, reliable option.
Hopefully this is just Toyota/Lexus on a bumpy road right now. Sucks to see their reputation being dragged through the mud.
Yay another new unproven power train.
@@marklihsu true, but it’ll be based off the G16E, yes it’s still too soon to tell reliability of it (especially with it being spliced with another one), but Toyota has a history of Inline 6’s and if they go to Yamaha for help it’ll only make things better. I mean it’ll most likely be much better than the current TT V6, thing had problem from the get-go. Anyways this is all wishful thinking from my part.
Oh boy, talk about damage control.
I have worked in heavy industry for 25 years. I never imagined we could have have such an epidemic of incompetence in this country, at all levels. Quality is awful.
Kirk, try reviewing 2024 Hyundai sonata hybrid limited if you can, since I’m considering one and I’d like to know your perspective before I try and buy one myself.
Land rover has also issued a stop sale on the defender… no one seems to talk about it… nothing in the news,… call Land Rover..they will confirm
Difference being Toyota fan boys walk around like their mfd is perfect and nothing ever goes wrong. So it's fun watching all the coping
I remember seeing that article regarding the safety and I was floored. Toyota prides themselves on their principles of quality and safety so I'm really disappointed in this. Many many missteps over the last year and this wont bow well for them
Vehicles from GM and Kia have actually been doing decent on the UPDATED crash tests. Toyota made sure their vehicles would do well on the old ones but they did not make them for the updated tests. Safety is poor compared to other brands. Quality is down the drain (only hope is one made in Japan). Headlights exceed glare limits blinding other drivers.
I live in the hood. Recently I started noticing a lot of people around here getting brand new Grand Highlanders…this explains it. - dealers are letting them go
Fake news
Well uh... that's one point in favor of the Sienna in my theoretical "if I buy a car for the family, what Toyota would it be?"
*TURBO V6's= worrisome. NEED V8 BACK🎉
F-150 got you covered. You can have you're choice of the turbo 6 or V8. It's nice having choices
Geez that dumbies head injury is unbelievable and unacceptable!
I wonder if the way the back of the neck slit open in the video would be indicative to major spinal cord ir back bone injury. I’m sure whiplash but I wonder what more.
Hence why they are stopping production
Will affect tyota's repo def.
maybe if the used less time putting in tv screens in these cars and utilized it to develop safe cars.

Ah so that's why the new ranger has 2 V6 options. You're being lied to
It’s refreshing to hear production being stopped on a crossover 😌
I love Toyota. But when this Grand Highlander was first introduced, I myself felt it was being rushed by Toyota. I thought Toyota was rushing in the introduction of Grand Highlander as they found potential loss of market share from growing popularity of KIA Telluride and Hyundai Palisade. Toyota quickly put together a large SUV with good but old fashioned front design, played safe to satisfy Toyota lovers, but forgot safety.

While im no special pleader for toyota, the govt broadly is way way way overstepping its bounds on all these dictates to manufacturers. We need to rein in these regualtory bodies. They have moved beyond regulating to dictating specifics and deciding what you are allowed to buy.
Same with dieselgate. When some agency sets requirements way more stringent than technically feasible, what do people expect will happen. Just because some guy in a suit dictates something that doesnt mean it is doable

The entry level model of the Grand Highlander has teeny tiny back light. Not sure if their engineers tested drove them long enough in very dark conditions, heavy rain, etc... Such an unsafe design
