The hybrids and electric’s sound like ufo’s lol
OK m n no
In the US in 2020 I purchased a 2002 Tundra at an auction for $2k, and took it to a Toyota dealer. I was told the frame replacement recall expired. I went to a different dealer and they immediately offered to replace the frame. Still driving with a new frame today. Always check if a dealer refuses warranty service.
He drove 130,000 miles, not a single car company warranties a car that long, it's his own fault
@@one-to-one-ratio The Tundra I purchased used with 140,000 miles had a new frame installed due to rust when it was close to 20 years old. and I was npt the origional owner.
@weru4132 if u listen carefully it's in km not miles
I will keep that in mind with my new Corolla Cross I am getting tomorrow. Allegedly that is.
You're not in Illinois,are you?
Toyota has a customer service phone number and website you can contact to voice a complaint. I did this regarding a Camry engine belt tensioner that broke while the dealer was replacing the fan belt. The dealer told me, sorry, you gotta' pay for a new tensioner. I called Toyota to complain that it was the dealer's fault, not mine. Toyota agreed and reimbursed me for the cost of the new tensioner. This intermediate shaft issue may be a case where it'd be a good idea to contact Toyota.
This is the way for solving the problem!
Bottom up, up, until they fix the problem caused by their staff.👍
Yes
My brake booster failed in my Prius about a month after they stopped fixing them for free and I wasn't able to do it then because they refuse to do it unless my car was showing a code even though you could audibly hear it failing. Toyota support was particularly unhelpful for me in that situation
Toyota is not the haven that it once was 😒
You read through the different threads Toyota is not taking care of their customers like they once did in the past.
@@icosthop9998 I hope you're wrong, but you may be right.
"Follow the money. Governments lie." Love it.
Oh I get it! Because the government claims to make the money, but if you follow the money trail, you’ll discover the government is actually broke :o
I need that
So do pharmaceutical companies.
That about sums up most Canadian's opinion about our government at the moment.
@@jerk5959 any goverment
Scotty admitting that Toyota is cheapening out making some garbage hurts his soul. We all know how he would’ve trashed the company if this was a Chrysler, Nissan, Kia, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen etc with the same issue. 😂😂😂
Even though it hurts him , he is giving us the truth.
Scotty has been doing that for years. If Toyota is making bad parts or Vehicles he calls it out.
He's called toyota out quite a few times...this isn't th first time
.
It hurts with VW 20 years ago a diesel VW was insanely reliable and in the same league as Honda and Toyota but since the mid 2000s VW have progressively got worse and cheaper built. Today Toyota and Honda still sit at the top with the South Koreans just a little behind with Hyundai and Kia.
I’ve noticed putting hub caps on steel rims it throws the balance off and makes the car shake like CRAZY
Cuz snow and ice gets stuck between the caps and rim.
Best to not have hub caps in winter weather anyways
That's my current setup and I've never had that problem. And Ice caking can happen inside rims, with or without caps.
Never turn the wheels when the engine ( power steering) isn't running. Power steering shafts aren't made to be muscled without power.
Steel Rims work better in snowy winters where they use salt on the roads .
Aluminum rims will corrode from salt and can leak around the edge of the tire .
Youll see it a lot up here in the Rust belt .
You get up having to get the tires sealed by a mechanic to stop the leaks.
Interesting. I never had problems with aluminium rims during winter for the last deacade
Those aren't "Crappy rims" Scotty, they're "Steelies" and the can look quite cool......
Crappy Tire rims maybe? lol
I did the same..got for steel rims from Toyota and mounted Goodyear wranglers on them. Steel rims are better on pot hoped roads
He meant crappy as in appearance
Scotty sings the virtues of steel wheels all the time.
I like the "rugged" look of steel wheels. they're meant to be used and abused.
@MrHmongrice me too I like that look with huge tire stickers
snow tires should always go on all 4 wheels for proper cornering and braking
yeah they do other wise your asking for problems
I dont think Scotty uses brakes ;)
You should always put 4 snow tires on a car. In a FWD car, if you put them on the front only, the car will want to fishtail in slick conditions.
its a two wheel drive
@@cap8eyes but car has 4 wheels not 2
Put sandbangs in the rear seats and the trunk (I put 2 - 70 lb sandbags behind the front seats, and 2 more in the trunk over the rear axle. Doesn't seem to impact fuel economy that much (lost maybe 2mpg). I found this to be as effective in most cases as having winter tires (and I don't have to pay for an extra set of tires). I like in the mid-west by the way so we get plenty of snow and ice. The only ONE place I sometimes have issues is when ice builds up at the end of my driveway but I don't think snow tires would help that anyway. Plus I'm still running the OEM tires on mine (although they will be replaced with better ones this coming December).
@@vipvip-tf9rw hahaahaaa yes yes yes.
no, it wont. you can have slicks on the rear and it wont.
When radial tires first came out they were excellent, in the 70's, 80's and 90's we never needed snows, and I live in snow country. After using bias ply snow tires for years these new radials were amazing. In my opinion the advent of stiff, wide, low profile tires has made the newer all season tires useless in snow and ice. Just my opinion based on lots of driving experience.
Your really happy scotty fair play bud all the best from Oxford,England
Don't listen to Scotty, buy 4 winters and you won't regret it. Or you can buy two like Scotty said and if you have an accident send the bill to Scotty.
Correct. Snow tires on the front alone makes a car want to fishtail in slick conditions.
Yep. ABYSMAL "advice" from ol' Scotty.
@@seanthompson8071 It's front wheel drive, there's nothing going to the back to make it fishtail. At worst is will just understeer.
@@archiethedog4515 no, it will fishtail, I used to do it, almost died, very dangerous, actually illegal up north now
I run 4 snows on my 2000 Crown Vic LX with 100 pounds of sand in the trunk. I've never gotten stuck yet.😲😲😲
Scotty is the brand ambassador of Toyota. They don't dare to make him mad or ELSE he'll use his publicity and millions of followers to expose them
Await the follow up on that Canadian steering issue...DVD:)
It all depends on the fine print in the warranty card. There's no use in complaining if your warranty is void.
Totally agree with you Scotty K. I am supposed to get my 2023 Toyota Cross tomorrow ( or this week maybe) due to the snowstorm here in Ontario we are getting as we speak. I heard these steering noise iarereally common on the whole car line. Hmmm. Never had that with my 07 Dodge Caravan. Keeping it too! backup. Runs like a dream, all new suspension, wheels, never had an issue with in. EVER. Love your show. We used to cross over at Lewiston al,l the time back in the day. We always got ripped off for vehicles here in Canada. Just the way it is. England is worse. For everything there!
TY
You Canadians are trying to make it look like it aint that bad to be here in America after all. 😳
This is the first time I disagree with Scotty, after 100s of videos. Car warrantees all give so many years and so many miles. If you are offside you're offside. I see nothing wrong. However, Scotty makes the point that the what broke is an inherent problem and Toyota knows it. But still.
07 Dodge included Daimler parts and technology
My wife, (girlfriend at the time) bought an '86 Celica GT-S brand new, and she was putting too many miles on it, so I noted the tachometer was at 3300 RPM at 60 MPH, and then disconnected the speedometer cable for two years! It was easy to do back in the day!! LOL!!
You reminded me of a vacation me and my family took to Niagara Falls.we went across the border to Canada and passed a gas station.l noticed the price on the big sign in front,l turned around and pulled in to fill up my tank,after I was done l was shocked at how much I paid ,l didn’t realize it was was priced in liters,You are right to much more expensive
My 2004 Highlander had this exact same problem at 53K miles.
The CV joints can go bad on these cars too. I work at O'Reillys so I know. My Saturn SL2 CV joints lasted 27 years, and the ones I replaced them with from my donor car were 21 years old and in good shape...lol
A few years ago GM had the same problem with their vehicles. So told not to worry just pack the spline with greese.
Thanks for dropping this after i bought a Rav, its a 2020 too, good thing i bought an extended warranty i guess.
Here in Quebec Canada it’s the law to have 4 snow tires from Dec.15 th to march. 15 th. Most including myself have seperate steel rims for our 4 snow tires , and our summer tires on the mag rims. The winter tires are softer rubber wear faster above 7 degrees Celsius or approx 44 f. Some have studded tires but those are illegal. Also having snow tires on 5 months a year prolongs the life of your summer tires . I also get my car oil sprayed every fall for rust prevention. It’s a mineral oil sprayed under car chassis, under hood , drill a hole in door and spray inside all doors and truck lids , bumpers. Metropolitian rustproofing here in Montreal area.
T'as fait shooter ton char chez Metropolitain?? 😉
I live in America. I’m taking ur advice. I’m buying winter tires for my car in the winter ❄️. That really smart🍷
@@natelove187
Get FOUR, NOT two!
The oil spraying i never heard of, good tip. 👍😊
Metropolitain is a Quebec only rustproofing company.
Scotty,
Your messaging is perfect.
My wife and I have a Scion XB before we went to a 213 Mazda CX-5. That Scion went through two master brake cylinders. Both were covered by warranty. The 2013 CX-5 had about 80k when we upgraded. Nothing was ever done to it except routine maintenance and one recall which was a software upgrade. We're still stuck on Mazda.
I went from decades of Hondas to Mazda. Won't be going back anytime soon.
I still drive a 2011 Scion xB with 200,000 miles and only replaced the alternator with no other problems, they’re all not bad.
Dunno what alternate universe you live in where Mazdas are quality,lasting vehicles.
90% of them over 12 years old are scrapped.
Buy a Honda.
@@bruce3870”Over 12 years old” yeah those are the Ford era Mazdas the newer Mazdas are very solid
Putting winter tires only in the front is a bad idea. Your backend comes around surprisingly easy .
3:49 seriously do all four for cornering- especially in Downstate New York.
You need to have all 4 snows for the insurance break. Also with such high mileage, he'll probably have to rotate his tires a few times a season.
"Event 201" on the license plates....love it!!!
I had the same thing happen with a new Camry. I drove a lot at the time and had put 95K on the car in about 2 years. I forget now what the issue was, but something failed/broke that cost me $1200 to repair. And it also had a squeak near the back window since new that they could never fix. So after the $1200 repair on a 2-year old car, I traded for... a Chrysler. I drove that Chrysler for 175K and never had any issues whatsoever. I traded it for another Chrysler and had no issues for 150K miles. I only left Chrysler (for Honda) because they stopped making a model that suited my needs.
I hear that squeak in my 2018!
We live in northcentral BC and it is law to have snow tires on all four wheels from Oct 1 to April 1. Whether 2 wd or 4wd makes no diference.
Not law here in Ontario, but still recommend to have snow tires 🛞 in the winter ❄️
I am just down highway 16 and the BC law is 2 matching winter tires on the drive axle at minimum. All 4 winter tires are just a recommendation.
No such law in Ontario , just wall to wall newcomers driving BMW'$ & MERCEDE$ with bald low profile tires. Loads of wreck and traffic jams on a day like today.
@@jafo766 New Canadians are not familiar with winter driving. Sadly, they are risking the lives of others with low profile tires on their white BMW’s travelling 130 kph on the 401.
Law or not... "Recommendation" or not... Putting only 2 winters on a 2WD or 4WD is just plain... (starts with RE, rhymes with PARTED).
Same thing that they did with the brake booster on the prius.
that woman at the gas station tho.. man I love when you blend in these funny little pictures. greetings from germany
This happened to me to but it was just under the warrenty so I didn't have to pay for it. I have a 2019 Camry
My 2012 Prius got the inverter replaced in 2022 and the brake booster replaced in 2023. Thankfully covered by 2 warranty enhancement programs, would have been like $7k in repairs for those.
Toyota declined to pay for the repair of my sisters 2018 Prius that had the leaking heat exchanger. The dealer wanted to replace the head gasket or the entire engine. There was a warranty TSB for the heat exchanger but it stopped at 80k miles, she was 7k over.
The winter rims shown are clearly new and not used from a junkyard as Scotty stated.
wheels not rims bozo
@@airuzair2424 No need to be insulting. The wheels on a vehicle consist of the tires and rims. I was correctly referring to the rims that the tires are mounted on.
Have a blessed day.
Don't be bothered he uz full of air.
That may be what the customer told him.
Perhaps the owner did a fair job repainting them. ?
IIRC, the warranty is like "yy" years OR "xxxxxx" miles which ever COMES FIRST. QED! In most cases, it's the TIME that expires first and we all accept that.
I had a 2002 Camry. Delivered brand new with the steering shaft problem. Also power door locks broke. Also struts leaked. Also sticking downshift transmission. Told it was normal.
I've got two Toyotas, a 2007 Highlander and this car. Bought the Camry hybrid in 2022 with 34,000 miles on it. Absolutely love it, a blast to drive and I'm averaging 49 MPG. My Highlander has been as reliable as a hammer and has just over 380,000 miles on it. I bought it in 2007 with 11,000 miles on it. She vibrates like a Maytag compared to the hybrid but that's it. Love Toyotas build quality and am staying with the brand for now.
You are so right our gasoline and diesel are tax to death! The diesel is generally speaking anywhere between 30 and $.50 a litre more expensive than gasoline regular. As always I enjoy your videos. And hello from Toronto 🇨🇦
I’ve had two Highlanders, 2010 and 2015 that both had intermediate steering shaft failures. I would’ve thought Toyota would fix the problem in newer models. Disappointing!
Very disappointing.
Toyota is not the haven that it once was 😒
You read through the different threads, Toyota is not taking care of their customers like they once did in the past.
warranty says specifically within the year or mileage... so can't complain.. if the shaft is known issue, the manufacturer should do a recall
Scotty I have a 2021 highlander XLE, I did change the wheel bearings at 7000miles
My camry’s IS went at 44k. Thankfully my warranty was still good.
3 years or 36k miles, whichever comes first, that's the way the warranties work Scottie, i have a 2011 Fusion that the electric power steering doesn't work, but there is a recall, but... my car was made 6 days before the recall, same part, same plant, but no recall for my car, i've been waiting to hear back from NHTSA for about 8 months now
Thanks Scotty.
Hey Scotty, What do you think about the new Toyota Crown? I would love to see you review the car if you get your hands on one.
In NYC, most cabbies/ride share drivers drive a Camry or Highlander.
Scotty please answer me I have 2014 toyota sienna le v6 6 cilinder and I drive few hundred miles every day I keep always on eco is that good or no for engine or is better to turn off
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have 2018 Toyota Camry four-cylinder engine .2.5 Liter with 105,000 MI. Just starting overheating. I want to replace the thermostat and housing unit and the water pump. Other than the toyota dealer parts department. Do you have any recommendation where I can order those parts?
Anyone else like to see Scotty branch off into another universe? I'm thinking I would pay good money to see Scotty's Marriage Counselling channel. That would be a popcorn/beer/watch party item!
The *"BACK IN THE DAY"* Toyota Dealerships I remember, weren't like the *"CHEAP CHEAP"* Toyota Dealerships of today. Overall it makes Toyota itself look bad. It's sad, really.😲😲😲
TLDR: If you drive a car a lot, you can blow past the warranty mileage limit before reaching the warranty calendar limit. If you do that, the dealer / maker may not replace affected parts under the warranty.
I had a 2008 Prius that failed a small electronic part ($350 plus rental) at about 36+++ miles and just over three years. The local dealer (where I didn't buy it) either failed to see if Toyota would pay for it or just screwed me.
I can't complain about Toyota. They replaced a $600 computer on my 2011 Avalon charging only labor!!!
Funny to see a car here from Canada Land. I live here in Clarksville LOL.
Hi Scotty, I have the same issue with my 2010 toyota highlander. My internediate shaft went bad at 115 k miles. My local dealer was going to charge me about $650. They said it was safe to drive and did not need to be replaced. Is this true that it is safe,? Im trying to find data on this but cant. Thanks
Scotty's laugh in this video was epic 🤣
Scotty, what happened to the Chevrolet dealership picture when you say junkyard? 😂
Did Toyota upgrade the intermediate shaft for the facelift model (2021+)?
I hope Scotty "does" follow up on it, then I hope he gives us information on the follow-up. 🤔
Anybody notice the woman filming Scotty from the SUV at 6:57?😂
It takes two months for the bank to reverse the charges. A check is faster if it doesn't bounce.
Mazda gives an unlimited kms warranty in Canada on all their cars.
Is this an SE Hybrid with a black roof wrap?
denied my claim for a cv shaft under warranty too. cost me 600 bucks. they said it was aftermarket with 30k on it. it was not. i still buy toyota
Love Scotty’s knowledge
Like suggesting you put snow tires only up front?... THAT kind of "knowledge?"
Can I ask where he fixed it for $950? I also live in Ontario and have a Sienna suspecting it doing the same
I had a 2018 Camry Le, and the air compressor went out! I have no clue how that could have even happened?! It was going to be 1800 to replace it!
Thank you Scotty. Buying steel wheels from junk yards to mount snow tires is an excellent idea. Been doing this for forty years. Every time the wheels are delivered the manufactures papers are still attached. The yard buys the wheels directly from the factory, when the manufacturer overproduces and sells them in lots. Brand new wheels for junk yard price.
Warranty plainly state 5 yrs OR 60,000 miles. Just because you drive the wheels off it doesn't change the warranty.
Talked to a taxi driver the other day owns a fleet of camerys he said you can’t go wrong most pushing half mil Ks no problems.
Not really Starbuck fault to refund that mistake. The financial companies that process payments will kibosh any refund over a few hundred dollars. Red flags go up. Then again, not sure how they screwed it up in the first place. I once got double charged on my debit for a hotel stay... The hotel manager actually showed me their interac receipts for that day. The bank screwed up but I got a refund about 2 weeks later
In Quebec you need all 4 winter tires by law can't even use all season
That is why I use cash for small items... & don't feel bad, I often forget to check the order & I get yelled at too...
Come on Scotty, putting that kind of miles per year increases the cost of so many wear items.... matters not if its 2 yrs or 10.
The same thing happened to my 2020 Toyota Camry hybrid... after 162,000 miles... 4 years...
yes but in the US they have a TSB on replacing it regardless of miles.. i hope you got it fixed cause toyota canada declined my request
I can't agree with you on this one. Warranty is warranty. If it's two years or x amount of miles than you knew that when you bought it
My 2012 Camry belt tensioner failed after a 2 years, but I fixed it myself since it was over warranty and no help from dealership.otherwise, car drove like new for another 3 years before having to be retired from accident. The parts for these cars are not as good as Civic that’s also built in Ontario
Same with my Sienna. Started at 65 ,000 miles . They have had this problem for a long time. Toyota said if I have it fixed they will pay a part of the repair. I filed a complaint with the NTSB . He should too
I have a acura rdx and the battery keeps draining what can be the issue?
I never go to Starbucks. That deal with the massive overcharge clinches it.
Ol' Scotty suggesting you only put snow tires up front... Great way to get you listeners killed there, ol' Scotty!
That mileage in such sort time, lifestyle choices eh?
Does the RAV4 have this issue with the shaft ?
It’s because it’s a hybrid, my shaft went out too, I drive a regular Camry now
Absolutely right
The warranty says X years, X miles. Why is the a difficult concept?
He was not under warranty, period.
Hahaaa, that trunk shot lol
I am having a hesitant engine in a RAV4 2022, 10000 miles 😮. Two visits to dealers. Toyota keep saying that I have nothing to worry about.
i got mine done free and i might get 46mpg per tank or more per tank ,but i get 58-60 mpg on single drives...i sit around with motor running and so i would avg 46-50mpg per tank full
You know you’re mad when you drove for the top of Canada to TN just to have Scotty help you in a battle with the big T.
I’ve owned 17 Toyotas over the years and I have discovered that they are becoming more and more cheaply made. I’m looking at other manufacturers to see if that are making better vehicles. Though I suspect everything is going to the junk-yard dogs.
Simply exceeded the mileage allowance... Next probkem.
Rob. You have no idea. 1 of my trucking buddy's, ownes his own truck. Crap on the road just took his oil pan out. 5,000. Plus the air leaks it did.
4 winter tires for me in Nova Scotia.
Considering state of city roads steel rims make a whole lot of sense. Looks be damned, they are a lot more durable and can take punishment of potholes a lot better than fancy alu rims.
Cant blame the dealer, the warranty is the warranty, and he's not covered anymore. Known issues are never fixed for free outside of warranty, by any dealer that i know of, regardless of manufacture.
The odometer reading exceeded the warranty mileage of Toyota. It doesn’t matter if the car is new. Toyota base it on years or mileage whichever comes first.
