People who buy this types of cars, sometimes I wonder where they work, because I've been a doctor for more than 8 years and I have still not gotten my dream car. Hahahaha😄😄😄😄😄
Of course this type of cars are not meant for salary earners because salary job is just like modern slavery. You work for 8 years and you couldn't buy a car
Check the most richest men in the world, they're all entrepreneurs, no salary earner can be successful. Any salary earner who claims to buy this car must have loot the company's money in one way or the other. 🤪
Yes I totally agree with you guys, I just hit Five hundred and thirty thousand dollars in my portfolio today from my tesla stock investment. I couldn't have achieved this if I had depended on my salary.
I drove one of my friend's 2020 Camry 4 cyl from Phoenix to Yuma and back. They asked me if the cruise control was engaged, because the vehicle was running very steady. I was just controlling the gas pedal. Not sure if it has a cvt or not. Mpg was over 35-40. Sad to see quality issues with Yoyota. Mine is a 2007 Pontiac G6 that gets 25-28 mpg at freeway speeds. I just enjoy shifting my own gears. That Camry is a very comfortable car.
Nope. Regulation forces them to focus more on tailpipe emissions and CO2 that is just about bottom of the list of environmental concerns. Toyota has bumper profits because it understood going "all in" for EVs was never going to work.
Toyotas latest 3.4 v6 engine has a lot of issues and I’ve noticed they are going for small capacity turbocharged engines which is a bad choice in my opinion. Destined for failure. I own a 2011 Honda Accord euro luxury sedan ( Australian version ) with the legendary k-24 2.4 litre N/A 4 cylinder engine in it,262,000 kilometres on the odometer and it runs and drives as good as the day it was made. 14 year old car that doesn’t use ANY fluids,is reliable,has 230 hp and has a manual 6 speed transmission =a smile every time I drive it. Life is too short to drive boring cars and that’s why I bought a track/street car that is so much fun to drive but has the reliability and quality build with it.
Always had toyota and lexus. Just bought my daughter a 2024 hybrid corolla from toyota universe last month and she loves it. No car is perfect. My 2010 rx350 has a rubber oil cooler line that should have been metal and lexus really screwed people on this in a sneaky way. We all know 2009 had some ring issues with oil consumption and a few rare models were flat out mistakes. It will take more than this for me to go back to american cars. Fair warning to toyota/lexus, It takes me a long time to change so if you do lose me it will be very hard to get me back.
For this reliability woe, you can Blame Ford, because in 2009, they went through the same thing with the EcoBoost 35 (3.5L, twin turbos, direct injection, VVT-i, and piston cooling jets, to compete with V8s). Ford debuted this in the F-150, Taurus SHO, and Lincoln MKS from that era. These are what Toyota went after with the new I-Force 3.4L TT, VVT-I, Direct injected engine. Governments shoved it and other smaller engines down the throats of most every carmaker between then and now for emissions compliance. GM brought back 4-6-8 as "Active Fuel Management" around the same time, it's just as unreliable as the Ford EcoBoost V6 and Toyota Twin Turbo i-Force V6 unless it's deleted. The 4 cylinder turbo will be much more reliable than the V6 twin turbo. Toyota has much more experience with those. Give this issue a few years. I think it will sort itself out as Toyota gets experience and gets this issue sorted, just as Ford mostly did with their EcoBoost engines.
It is very true yet very disturbing. Ford and Gm sell 750k trucks a year each. Toyota sells 150k tundra's on average. They have the smallest percentage with the most failures and recalls. Toyota's hold my beer 🍺 race to the bottom moment.
And the super strict regulations which killed the market for small cars and trucks, pushing manufacturers to making gas guzzling gigantic trucks and SUV instead, only the government can say 'mission accomplished' for the environment.
hyundai engines catch fire: hyundai ignore for years, got sued, lost then after 5- 10 years, recall. Never stop the production. they lied to customer for years. toyota: immediately stop production and do voluntary recall. thats the difference
@@JamesJ30tThat is a fair statement. I think we did too. Maybe that is why people are so upset. If this were Ford a slight shoulder shrug is the reaction. It's what we expect.
You SIR are HIGHLY Educated..Finally, hope this trend continues.....After * EXTENSIVE* Research ..z old T Chart....Owned them all Euros even now a Ferrari.( jus' accept issues always as, part of the admission to be gucci...Soooo, .I own the 450h+ " F " Sport....EXCLUSIVELY made in Japan only......Be sure to ONLY buy the " F " Sport w/ adaptive Suspension and all blacked out chrome...& you are Gold😇
@@ECPP Thanks Mark. I have owned a 2015 Toyota Prius-C Hybrid in the past and had no problems at all with it ( 100% built in Japan). I traded it in for a 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid LE ( 100% built in Japan). So far no problems with 60,800 miles on it. Oil changes every 4,500 miles and I have already had the transmission fluid changed out at 56,000 miles.
Almost 18 yrs ago when I bought my Forester there was a red one with all the stuff the grey/silver one had but it had a turbo. Even then, I knew to stay away from turbos. I still have my non turbo Forester.
@@ECPPknowing Toyota, they will continue to do research to find ways in mitigating the problems that these forced-induction engines are producing. Same thing with Honda…my thinking is these governmental requirements have forced manufactures to come out with new systems that, frankly, are forced to be introduced before they’re actually ready….hence, the renewed growing pains.
I have a 2010 Toyota Sienna XLE with 118,000 miles (190,000 km) and runs very well. The 3.5 V6 has great power when needed. The 5 speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly and couldn't be happier. The style is conservative, but I don't look at it while I'm driving, so it's OK. Going with newer technology does not automatically mean it's better. Their naturally aspirated engines, 4 cyl, V6 and V8 engines were built very well. Nowadays I would not consider any engine with turbos installed. That's unnecessary and more expensive to maintain the vehicles. Complexity does not mean better. If their previous engines worked well and people wanted them, why is Toyota compelled to switch them?
it's funny how people were complaining about not enough power , it's only five speed, it's gas guzzler , it's outdated with old technology, the tv screen is too small etc etc. well people you snivelled and sadly Toyota foolishly listened. now deal with all the issues and stop whining.
Yep I just bought a brand new nissan for 19 grand naturally aspirated but cvt fingers crossed but 100k bumper to bumper warranty literally 6 to 14 grand cheaper than honda or toyota if I get a 100k I will throw it away because I will probably be to old to drive anymore by then
We purchased two 4 runners in 2018. A Limited and a SR5. Both have an engine proved and reliable. We will probably run these vehicles for the next ten years or more. I, for one, do not need or like putting the extra stress on a "four cylinder" by installing Turbos....... It's crazy. Toyota screwed up when they dropped the V8 configuration ...........
@@subaruamazon 17K and 18K...........we love them. Second one for my wife who went off the road, down a ravine, bounced on the front end and rolled. She and our dog came out just fine. That's what prompted me to sell my ML and buy the Limited.....they are "tanks".... PS Love the Camry.......glad you're enjoying yours. We'd have one but, we need an SUV.......... Best of Luck to you!!
The problem is, car companies are forced into a constant system of R & D, (research and development). The government forcing car companies to innovate more economical cleaner running cars.
I’ve never owned a Toyota. The interiors are sub par. The cars have no personality and are not fun to drive. I am sure they are fine for folks who want a reliable appliance. But life truly is too short to drive boring cars.
They should've implemented turbos years ago not a decade after everyone else.Thats what happens when you add turbos to everything at once. They still did a better job than ford with the eco boost lmao but the prices are pretty damn high for what you get now.
Ive got a 1996 camry, 134,xxx miles, paid 900 for it a year ago. Prior to that i owned a 1990 corrolla, paid 1100 for it with 280,xxx miles and got 5 yrs out of it putting around 40k on it annually.
It would seem that when times are hard and there is more month left than money..and companies doubling down and jacking prices doesn't seem to me be an award winning -customer gaining move....All companies seemed to be in Grab mode and FU mode to their customer base....You can't fix Stupid....you would think after some companies bonehead moves they would learn...like loblaws and anhauser-busch, Toyota, Ford...etc....after all you learn nothing from success only failure.....so they need to fail to learn not to jerk people around in bad times...no sympathy..zero...zip...nada...Thanks Mark!! Great piece of work....as consumers we need your expertise on these companies...this helps us make a more informed purchase decision when the time right!! Cya in the next one!!
And maybe it's a D.E.I. manufacturing issue. Just look at the airline industry and all of the horrible D.E.I. manufacturing problems that have led to numerous catastrophic failures of things such as doors blowing out due to improperly installed hardware. If it can happen in the airline manufacturing industry that is so very highly regulated, imagine what is going on with auto manufacturing.
Hi Mark I’ve been following your channel since many years ago, from the times I also owned a BMW X5 diesel. I could not thank you enough for the good advice I received in your channel. Looks like for quite some time you seem to be refrying content over and over again. Although this could be a good short term recipe in my honest opinion it does not align well with the idea of creating content full time as per your recent video. You not only have the technical knowledge, but you are a terrific communicator, with good acting skills, and charismatic, but the lack of originality will eventually hit. This is not supposed to be a suggestion or recommendation of any sort (who tf I am to do so) but the intent is to give you honest feedback from someone who benefited a lot from your videos a few years back. Best.
Thank you so much and I really appreciate that Larry. I also agree I love the original style to my content and this may seem a little redundant and i am am going on that and will be adding more unique and variations to the material. Hope your week is shaping up like mine too, and not sure if you are a hockey fan, but who’s the team tonight to win?
@@ECPPnah, don’t listen to Larry. You’re not refrying content-you’re simply reiterating some of the points you previously mentioned. That’s a good thing, because it keeps us up to date and keeps everything fresh. I think you’re doing a terrific job, so keep it up. Ignore the naysayers even if they claim to be “supporters”.
New Toyota business model, courtesy of American manufacturing tenets: Increase profit by building vehicles in Mexico (auto workers get equivalent of $2.70 US per hour). Adaptation of complex electronics provides for planned obsolescence and "disposable" vehicles. When things start going south, provide customer friendly rhetoric to soothe the brand fans. Hopefully Toyota will go back to their business model ethics and return to quality.
The issue with never changing is that that time moves forward, the market moves forward, and you will inevitably have to change anyway. Only difference is that when you need to change, you don't know how to change well, and you run into a bunch of issues. You forget how to evolve. The N55 and B58 turbocharged straight/inline-6 engines are prodigious for power, efficiency, and reliability.
Yes but that's not Toyota's thing. They do adopt new tech, they just wait years and watch all the other's stumble before they jump in. The problem this time is the EPA trying to force all car companies to either go EV or bankrupt, against the wants and needs of the "free market".
I drive a 23 4Runner ORP and my wife drives a 16 Highlander Limited. We want to buy something newer for my wife before everything goes turbo. I'm sure Toyota will eventually make these new engines relatively reliable but not like the NA models. The thing that really sucks is how complicated everything is getting. People like me who take care of and keep vehicles for decades might be in a position where you have a car that still is in great shape but needs a new engine that is worth more than the vehicle.
Barneystinson, if the body is still in great shape, and there are no other issues (suspension, etc.) a remanufactured engine replacement is still 10’s of thousands of dollars less expensive than a new vehicle. My wonder is when does it become so obsolete that a new (or recently used) car is the only option? 🤔
Mazda uses the toyota hybrid system, and they share tech..even build cars on the same assembly line..toyota owns part of mazda, and a lot of Subaru.....the new camry will be a home run, they over 600,000 camrys worldwide
By dropping the v6, they've ruined the highlander, Tacoma, carry, Avalon, Tundra, Rx 350 and about to ruin the 4 runner. Quality went down when they opened Engineering centers in the U.S.
Bought my T100, used, 30 years ago. I still own it. 170K miles and NO issues. Original engine, transmission, alternator, A/C system, differential, etc, etc. 2nd vehicle is a 2006 Lexus GS300 I purchased 13 years ago used. I have no intention of ever buying another car. I do however enjoy reading about today’s insane pricing, unreliability and overly complicated vehicles. We, after all, have to have our expensive toys! It’s the American way…….
This is due to govt regulations forcing mfg to do things they would prefer not to. Same thing happened to domestic companies in the late 70s into the 80s. They could no longer meet regs with their tried and true v8, rwd. Instead they had to slash the size, weight, engine size, while at the same time increasing safety AND while lowering emissions all at the same time. People bashed ford gm chrysler for poor quality which in some cases was true but look at the headwinds they faced. Now rules are so strict even toyota can no longer meet standards with simple proven methods. Blame the govt agencies mandating change faster than practical, then blame politicians for not reigning in these agencies. I will wait to see if the same people that love to absolutely bash American cars, now bash toyota or if they cut them slack. I like my toyotas, but have also had excellent reliability from my GM pickups.
Mark I’m glad you mentioned the 2JZ and you can’t forget the 3S-GTE as well. The main difference between those engines and modern ones is simple, over engineered and built with quality materials to withstand major abuse and allowing them to last 200-300 thousand Km with just regular maintenance. So to me these problems now looks more like Toyota being cheap now on design and definitely materials then charging more to pad their profits.
I dont get why "hybrid" is good. It still puts a time clock on life span. I dont want or need a hybrid nor an EV. Also, bring back the naturally V6 and V8. Im no longer a Toyota fan. You would have to pay me to buy one.
Hybrid is a good car if you plan on burning up its entire potential in the first 10 years... (aka put 200 or 300k on it)... if you plan on keeping the car a very long time (limited use and garage queen)... Hybrid is no good, better off with a naturally aspirated vehicle (no turbo)
I’ve only bought Toyota and Lexus since 2005 I have never had a lemon in 8 vehicles They had 4 cylinders and 3.5 L V6s. Never added oil to any of them between oil changes. Also never added transmission fluid to any of them. I think that the new engines have a design flaw. The main rod cap bearings are not individual like previous designs. This is a good test for Toyota to see how the resolve this problem. Right now Mazda is a better choice for the money. If I was in the market for a new car Mazda would be at the top of the list. Good luck all!!
I have four Toyotas. One 2017 tundra and two Camrys of year 2004 and 2005 and a 2011 toyota venza. My Camrys have close to 400k miles and tundra has close ton200k and my venza over 200k. They all drive smooth and no issues. Point is that those Toyotas I have, have the naturally aspirated engines. Now they are messing around with smaller engines with turbo. It’s garbage. Proof is in the pudding. I haven’t had major issues with any of my vehicles. Maintenance and wash every once in a while and good to go. Many of my coworkers have these new Toyotas with hybrids and turbos and nothing but issues. I’m always hanging to pick them up and taking them home cuz their cars either break down or start driving no faster than 30mph, and here I am in my older Toyotas and still keeps on going with no issues. I will stick with Toyotas/Lexus but with the older ones and the V8 and V6 and 4banger naturally aspirated. Not these new garbage engines. The vehicles look amazing but no way will those engines last like the old ones. Sad but true.
So I ditched my ten year old X5d, was looking at a new one with the b58 but that damn price. $120000, So bought top trim Lexus Rx350 hybrid. I am not particularly fond of the four banger but it was still forty thousand less then the x5. And naturally aspirated.
My last purchase before switching to Toyota, was a Mazda CX7 in 2007. 2.3 cyl turbo. It was a great car, but achieved much poorer gas mileage than any 6 or 8 cylinder I had ever owned. It's all smoke and mirrors, and I blame Cafe Standards set by President Obama. It was a not well thought out program.
Talking about horsepower is nonsense. Rated brake horsepower is at a specific RPM and load tested on a friction or eddy-current brake. James Watt defined one horse-power as 550 foot-pounds per second. Losses in gearbox and transmission are irrelevant.. That is why it it called brake horse power Any engine works most efficiently at maximum torque RPM.
Toyota has some issues with their brand new trucks and now everyone is saying how unreliable the company are. While BMW has finally made a straight 6 turbo that for now is reliable. (Still a relatively new engine B58) and they are now the king of reliability… I would own a Toyota in a heartbeat knowing that the company will rectify the problems…. One engine doesn’t not make the whole company unreliable and one B58 engine doesn’t make BMW overnight the paragons of reliability
In part this is the very issue that President Trump was about to work on during his last term, the over complexity of cars to achieve only tiny gains in fuel mileage. He wanted to relax the regulations because the gains weren't worth the financial cost to average Americans in paying more for that technology, as well as the costs incurred for break downs such as time lost from work etcetera, and the cost to manufacturers such as Toyota of suffering from overly technical engines. And like Hyundai/Kia a few years back, millings are now found in Toyota engines. I think Toyota would be the last company to have that happen. It's a sad state of being when Toyota can't simply progress along as they have always done. I'm blaming the EPA for having too much power, as well as out of control tree huggers, and the democrats.
yep, i have 5 new toyotas and scion since 2008 and although mostly reliable, they still had minor issues whereas my new 2017 corvette stingray in stickshift has 0 issues and I drive it harder and daily commute it.
when rav4 2019 new gen (5th) came out I remember having alot of troubles and 21 they fixed most of it so I think toyota is kinda trying new things out but eventually will fix problems although turbo charging seems like not the best area of toyota's strength
Other brands are depending on useing Toyota for the hybrid systems they need to stay in the market. Subaru and Mazda come to mind. I don't know what Nissan is going to do. But these Japanese companies will fall by the wayside as the cafe noose tightens. I would not be afraid to purchase a new Camry or Corolla. A Tacoma would be nice if not so expensive.
I have to disagree with you, Toyota will not drag there feet on this recall they will come out better, and stronger remember KAIZON ...I would rather buy a recalled Toyota then any other brand
Turbos are great for people who don't mind buying a new car every 3 to 5 years. Personally, I like a car to run for 300K miles and use the money for other things...
There is going to be revolution in the car industry. It is hitting rock bottom. First was the Germans with their precision. Followed by the Japanese and their precision. Both were and still are in a downward slope. Electric car don’t have to complicated. The Baker electric had no computer Parts. I know that is extreme comparison. But the point is that an electric car can have mechanical parts. It is a doable idea. The Electric cars of Today are in rabid change at one point I believe someone will come up with the idea of a simple car with mechanical parts . Which I believe can be more reliable. I personally drive a 1997 Honda Del Sol Si . I am an original owner. I use Waze on my IPhone for navigation. The video control panel on cars is the biggest scam of all times. Other auto power sources like hydrogen with a fuel cell has so much more potential. I agree with the Japanese on this. They are taking a negative and turning into a positive. They don’t have oil let’s find an alternative.
Money, it's a crime Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie Money, so they say Is the root of all evil today But if you ask for a rise, it's no surprise That they're giving none away
I love your video's man, but seems like you are chasing the past. The quality of all cars today have gone down, from over engineering to cheap parts and in between and that is among all manufactures except may be some super expensive cars here and there.
The Toyota factory in Princeton , IN has been shut down for a bit now and will be down probably until December or January. I guess there were air bag issues and they are trying to correct them.
100% agreed! I own a '23 RX 500h which we all know is a turbo hybrid. I already have 20k miles on it and I push TF out of it and it still drives like the day it rolled off the lot. No manufacturer produces a bulletproof vehicle. A few issues will not destroy a brand. They're still far more reliable than the bs this guy is spreading and I'll never own another make.
I agree with Lexus. They went all plastic on the inside or quality is not the same. That’s what they’re known for with Lexus brand they ruined the name.
Indeed. That's my plan. Have a 17 ES 350 with the old school fuel injection. Plan to get a clean LS 430 in the next year or so. And then in a few years a GX 460. We will drive these another 15 years and wait for the newer powertrains to be ironed out.
@@texlad04 nice yeah i had a 14 es350 with 141k miles it drove like a dream until i lose control and totaled it. Im now looking on buying a 2016 GS350 until winter with the market is hopefully a reasonable price.
All here represents my personal opinion. The more important then those failures in reliability are the difference between what data are on paper and what facts are in some cases. They simply lied in some cases. And those are cases that they admitted when pressured, when they were subject of a form of official investigations Hino a company owned by Toyota cheated and lied about one of it's engine regarding emissions. They said sorry we had some pressure to do so. Daihatsu another company owned by Toyota sent basically reenforced cars for testing regarding safety for 30 years. Toyota on some models also at safety testing programmed airbags to deploy milliseconds before impact so the redeengs to be improved. So in those cases at least, they sold products with data that were simply not true. And those are cases about witch Toyota admitted doing so. My opinion is that there may be many more cases then admitted in which Toyota sold products with another characteristics then those written on their papers. So this I consider to be more important because is about not mistakes made unintentionally but ones that included planning and aprooving about lying the authorities and us customers. Another thing also important is their profit. I found two tipes of numbers about net profit on cars average. Ones regarding US market and one regarding global market. On US market the numbers are ten times smaller then global one but the procentage and positioning between one brand towards the others is the same. The one with big numbers shown ( aproximate numbers from memory) for 2022 something like 920 dollars for each car sold for Hyundai, 940 for Kia, 980 for Volkswagen and .... 1200 for Toyota. For me that shows that Toyotas have much smaller quality price ratio. Nothing wrong ( analogy exagerated) to say that a bike is more reliable and cheaper to maintain then a speedy motorcycle. Because it is. The problem is to sell it at the same price as the motorcycle. Toyota were more reliable because the old school OLD technology used. But they were more expensive then the similar cars of the competition. More reliable and cheaper maintenance were indeed but not because better quality of it's technology by comparison but because lack of technology of pieces and systems that required maintenance and money to apply that maintenance. Now we find out that some cars didn't have the technology they said they had and that the main marketing the.e is gone through the window. Comparing f sport models on paper to similar BMW models, RX 500 ( lexus) to x5 50e we see that ON PAPER that we have reasons to believe it may present better numbers than should, ON PAPER RX 500 is weaker in performance but more expensive in price. And with recent reliability problems of models that tried more up to date technology, we might have a more weaker expenxive car and with reliability problems.Put all that to the way that Toyota handled wqranty claims of customers breaking the laws in Australia according to 2.8 DPF problems and federal first court decision regarding the issue, thinking that if done once somewhere could mean that it may be possible to be done more then once and everywhere.... Everything is my own personal opinion that I formed during reading news on internet. I still think Toyota cars are better then many others but is not such a perfect brand as some think it is. HAS IT'S PROBLEMS THAT NEEDS TO BE ADRESSED
CORTEZMILLER YOU SAY TOYOTA HONDA NISSAN SHOULD GO BACK TO JAPAN SO THAT MEANS THE PEOPLE BUILDING THOSE CARS HERE IN AMERICA THEY GO BACK TO JAPAN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HERE IN AMERICA WOULD BE OUT OF A JOB
On scene 15:20 "2JZ Turbos." Those were from Engineering in the 1990's prior to the 2008 Massive Layoffs of those Engineers.. Not the same! Back then they had Heat Shields 🛡 between the Engine and Turbos. Now they're mounted next to each other. SUBARU Mounted them on top and because of the Flat Boxer Engine. The Head Gaskets on both sides blow out. GM EcoTech, Ford Ecoboost Code reads low compression of Cylinder 3. Turbos heat up to 1,875° Fahrenheit or 1,020° Celcius... that heat warps the engine block. The CVT, DCT, or Porsche PDK Transmission are all Junk. Audi, and Volkswagen Timing Chains or Belts are nightmares the Guides wear too quickly made of plastic, and cost more than $5,000 USA 🇺🇸 DOLLARS
Toyota has to take a long, hard look at itself so it doesn't become the Boeing of cars. The fifth-gen 4Runner came out in 2009 and it took 15 years to come out with the sixth-gen later this year. To meet the tougher emission standards, the engines are going smaller in displacement and generating more horsepower is a fact of life.
People who buy this types of cars, sometimes I wonder where they work, because I've been a doctor for more than 8 years and I have still not gotten my dream car.

I just enjoy shifting my own gears. That Camry is a very comfortable car.
Kastellolo, that Camry, in all likelihood, has the 8-speed torque-converter style transmission.
@@carlovanrijk4039 I think you are right. I don't remember any droning or high revving like a cvt does. A very steady rpm.
NO CVT
The first automaker to make a durable and affordable vehicle will win.
Yes and so far Mazda is coming up quickly
Nope. Regulation forces them to focus more on tailpipe emissions and CO2 that is just about bottom of the list of environmental concerns. Toyota has bumper profits because it understood going "all in" for EVs was never going to work.
When a company gets too many fan boys, they always always head for a downturn.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
When you look for something fresh and new, it leads to complete destruction.
It has not helped in the case that’s for sure
TOYOTA ARE STILL THE MOST RELIABLE CARS ON THE ROADS
Yeap just research model, year and engine designation.😊
Toyotas latest 3.4 v6 engine has a lot of issues and I’ve noticed they are going for small capacity turbocharged engines which is a bad choice in my opinion. Destined for failure. I own a 2011 Honda Accord euro luxury sedan ( Australian version ) with the legendary k-24 2.4 litre N/A 4 cylinder engine in it,262,000 kilometres on the odometer and it runs and drives as good as the day it was made. 14 year old car that doesn’t use ANY fluids,is reliable,has 230 hp and has a manual 6 speed transmission =a smile every time I drive it. Life is too short to drive boring cars and that’s why I bought a track/street car that is so much fun to drive but has the reliability and quality build with it.
Honda had an amazing engine in the Na 2.4. Few cars will run like that anymore
Thank You‼️🏁🏆
Always had toyota and lexus. Just bought my daughter a 2024 hybrid corolla from toyota universe last month and she loves it. No car is perfect. My 2010 rx350 has a rubber oil cooler line that should have been metal and lexus really screwed people on this in a sneaky way. We all know 2009 had some ring issues with oil consumption and a few rare models were flat out mistakes. It will take more than this for me to go back to american cars. Fair warning to toyota/lexus, It takes me a long time to change so if you do lose me it will be very hard to get me back.
The auto makers are like politicians...lie lie lie lying $#!+$
For this reliability woe, you can Blame Ford, because in 2009, they went through the same thing with the EcoBoost 35 (3.5L, twin turbos, direct injection, VVT-i, and piston cooling jets, to compete with V8s). Ford debuted this in the F-150, Taurus SHO, and Lincoln MKS from that era. These are what Toyota went after with the new I-Force 3.4L TT, VVT-I, Direct injected engine.
Governments shoved it and other smaller engines down the throats of most every carmaker between then and now for emissions compliance. GM brought back 4-6-8 as "Active Fuel Management" around the same time, it's just as unreliable as the Ford EcoBoost V6 and Toyota Twin Turbo i-Force V6 unless it's deleted.
The 4 cylinder turbo will be much more reliable than the V6 twin turbo. Toyota has much more experience with those.
Give this issue a few years. I think it will sort itself out as Toyota gets experience and gets this issue sorted, just as Ford mostly did with their EcoBoost engines.
It is very true yet very disturbing. Ford and Gm sell 750k trucks a year each. Toyota sells 150k tundra's on average. They have the smallest percentage with the most failures and recalls. Toyota's hold my beer 🍺 race to the bottom moment.
I blame emission regulations. All fuel saving tech make an engine unreliable
And the super strict regulations which killed the market for small cars and trucks, pushing manufacturers to making gas guzzling gigantic trucks and SUV instead, only the government can say 'mission accomplished' for the environment.
hyundai engines catch fire: hyundai ignore for years, got sued, lost then after 5- 10 years, recall. Never stop the production. they lied to customer for years.
toyota: immediately stop production and do voluntary recall.
thats the difference
People ignored the warning to not buy the first few year's models of any new engine or transmission design.
Gotta wait it out
I think everyone thought Toyota was the exception to the rule.
@@JamesJ30tThat is a fair statement. I think we did too. Maybe that is why people are so upset. If this were Ford a slight shoulder shrug is the reaction. It's what we expect.
They got bit by the American corporation bug of build cheap and sell high.
You might be close to the reason.
Yep .

@@ECPP Thanks Mark. I have owned a 2015 Toyota Prius-C Hybrid in the past and had no problems at all with it ( 100% built in Japan). I traded it in for a 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid LE ( 100% built in Japan). So far no problems with 60,800 miles on it. Oil changes every 4,500 miles and I have already had the transmission fluid changed out at 56,000 miles.
Own a 2019 5.7 tundra 85k on it and 0 issues ill drive it till the wheels fall off. Its rock solid plain and simple
I followed your advice and bought one of the last V6 Camrys with the naturally aspirated engine and 8 speed transmission.
Yes and I believe those are some of the last generation, reliable cars from the brand. Similar to ours but our 2.5 is doing well too.
07 camry 150k. how is it?
Turbo 4 or 6 bangers in medium to large vehicles aren't going to be reliable, like non Turbo larger engines.
There may be some lessons learned here on all thisb
Almost 18 yrs ago when I bought my Forester there was a red one with all the stuff the grey/silver one had but it had a turbo. Even then, I knew to stay away from turbos. I still have my non turbo Forester.
@@ECPPknowing Toyota, they will continue to do research to find ways in mitigating the problems that these forced-induction engines are producing. Same thing with Honda…my thinking is these governmental requirements have forced manufactures to come out with new systems that, frankly, are forced to be introduced before they’re actually ready….hence, the renewed growing pains.
When money is tight, reliability is King too bad Toyota didn't clue into that

Right!
@@goodguy7420not always true.
Old Toyota leadership under Akio, yes. This new CEO Koji is already skimping out on quality, materials and design.
I have a 2010 Toyota Sienna XLE with 118,000 miles (190,000 km) and runs very well. The 3.5 V6 has great power when needed. The 5 speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly and couldn't be happier. The style is conservative, but I don't look at it while I'm driving, so it's OK.
Going with newer technology does not automatically mean it's better. Their naturally aspirated engines, 4 cyl, V6 and V8 engines were built very well. Nowadays I would not consider any engine with turbos installed. That's unnecessary and more expensive to maintain the vehicles. Complexity does not mean better. If their previous engines worked well and people wanted them, why is Toyota compelled to switch them?
That’s a great point and many people simply want easy to use and affordable while marinating reliability
The US federal government- CAFE standards. Democrats.
The best cars and trucks ever made were made one to two decades ago!
Toyota is now less reliable and more expensive. Toyota trucks, are now not reliable at all.
Yes prices are creeping up in all vehicles as I found out recently when pricing the RAV4 Prime

@@subaruamazon Absolutely
it's funny how people were complaining about not enough power , it's only five speed, it's gas guzzler , it's outdated with old technology, the tv screen is too small etc etc. well people you snivelled and sadly Toyota foolishly listened. now deal with all the issues and stop whining.
I believe Toyota is reliable with their hybrids, and naturally aspirated engines; but not so much with their downsized and turbocharged engines.
Exactly
Nissan will benefit because of Toyota's mistakes. The frontier truck is a durable and affordable truck that still has a regular engine without turbo
Yep I just bought a brand new nissan for 19 grand naturally aspirated but cvt fingers crossed but 100k bumper to bumper warranty literally 6 to 14 grand cheaper than honda or toyota if I get a 100k I will throw it away because I will probably be to old to drive anymore by then

I’ve never owned a Toyota. The interiors are sub par. The cars have no personality and are not fun to drive. I am sure they are fine for folks who want a reliable appliance. But life truly is too short to drive boring cars.
What are all these exciting cars you drive?

shut up. That opinion was valid maybe 25 years ago not today
The twin turbo engines aren't built to tow ,pulling loads i.e. boats, campers, the main reason people are buying trucks
Ford owners will tell you otherwise. The eb 2.7 and 3.5 are well proven engines. Ford sells 750k trucks per year for a reason.
They should've implemented turbos years ago not a decade after everyone else.Thats what happens when you add turbos to everything at once. They still did a better job than ford with the eco boost lmao but the prices are pretty damn high for what you get now.

Hi Mark I’ve been following your channel since many years ago, from the times I also owned a BMW X5 diesel. I could not thank you enough for the good advice I received in your channel.
Looks like for quite some time you seem to be refrying content over and over again. Although this could be a good short term recipe in my honest opinion it does not align well with the idea of creating content full time as per your recent video. You not only have the technical knowledge, but you are a terrific communicator, with good acting skills, and charismatic, but the lack of originality will eventually hit.
This is not supposed to be a suggestion or recommendation of any sort (who tf I am to do so) but the intent is to give you honest feedback from someone who benefited a lot from your videos a few years back.
Best.
Thank you so much and I really appreciate that Larry. I also agree I love the original style to my content and this may seem a little redundant and i am am going on that and will be adding more unique and variations to the material.
Hope your week is shaping up like mine too, and not sure if you are a hockey fan, but who’s the team tonight to win?
@@ECPPnah, don’t listen to Larry. You’re not refrying content-you’re simply reiterating some of the points you previously mentioned. That’s a good thing, because it keeps us up to date and keeps everything fresh.

@@ECPP mark, i love ur videos. they are fun and informative. fook the critics.
Toyota, Honda and Nissan, they all should go back and build their cars in Japan!
New Toyota business model, courtesy of American manufacturing tenets: Increase profit by building vehicles in Mexico (auto workers get equivalent of $2.70 US per hour). Adaptation of complex electronics provides for planned obsolescence and "disposable" vehicles. When things start going south, provide customer friendly rhetoric to soothe the brand fans. Hopefully Toyota will go back to their business model ethics and return to quality.
Nope it’s the earth worshipping democrats and cafe standards. Thank your local CNN watching public school brainwashed neighbors for this.
The issue with never changing is that that time moves forward, the market moves forward, and you will inevitably have to change anyway. Only difference is that when you need to change, you don't know how to change well, and you run into a bunch of issues. You forget how to evolve. The N55 and B58 turbocharged straight/inline-6 engines are prodigious for power, efficiency, and reliability.
Yes but that's not Toyota's thing. They do adopt new tech, they just wait years and watch all the other's stumble before they jump in. The problem this time is the EPA trying to force all car companies to either go EV or bankrupt, against the wants and needs of the "free market".
My Toyota is extremely reliable..has over 240k miles on it
he is talking about the new ones obviously!
Yours is also not a newer generation and it uses tried and true technology.
@@williamegler8771 Toyota fan boys always using the past when we talking about the present. He forgetting to know a lot cars can go 240k miles too
I drive a 23 4Runner ORP and my wife drives a 16 Highlander Limited. We want to buy something newer for my wife before everything goes turbo. I'm sure Toyota will eventually make these new engines relatively reliable but not like the NA models. The thing that really sucks is how complicated everything is getting. People like me who take care of and keep vehicles for decades might be in a position where you have a car that still is in great shape but needs a new engine that is worth more than the vehicle.
Barneystinson, if the body is still in great shape, and there are no other issues (suspension, etc.) a remanufactured engine replacement is still 10’s of thousands of dollars less expensive than a new vehicle. My wonder is when does it become so obsolete that a new (or recently used) car is the only option? 🤔
Mazda uses the toyota hybrid system, and they share tech..even build cars on the same assembly line..toyota owns part of mazda, and a lot of Subaru.....the new camry will be a home run, they over 600,000 camrys worldwide
I love my riding mower, runs great and cuts great. I suggest everyone dump the cars and buy riding mowers.
Great idea
By dropping the v6, they've ruined the highlander, Tacoma, carry, Avalon, Tundra, Rx 350 and about to ruin the 4 runner. Quality went down when they opened Engineering centers in the U.S.
Bought my T100, used, 30 years ago. I still own it. 170K miles and NO issues. Original engine, transmission, alternator, A/C system, differential, etc, etc. 2nd vehicle is a 2006 Lexus GS300 I purchased 13 years ago used. I have no intention of ever buying another car. I do however enjoy reading about today’s insane pricing, unreliability and overly complicated vehicles. We, after all, have to have our expensive toys! It’s the American way…….
They do not have enough experienced mechanics at each dealership.
This is due to govt regulations forcing mfg to do things they would prefer not to. Same thing happened to domestic companies in the late 70s into the 80s. They could no longer meet regs with their tried and true v8, rwd. Instead they had to slash the size, weight, engine size, while at the same time increasing safety AND while lowering emissions all at the same time. People bashed ford gm chrysler for poor quality which in some cases was true but look at the headwinds they faced.
Now rules are so strict even toyota can no longer meet standards with simple proven methods. Blame the govt agencies mandating change faster than practical, then blame politicians for not reigning in these agencies.
I will wait to see if the same people that love to absolutely bash American cars, now bash toyota or if they cut them slack. I like my toyotas, but have also had excellent reliability from my GM pickups.
Exactly it’s all driven by the players at the top who are forcing these manufacturers to gonna outside the zones of longevity
I have a 2018 Camry LE with 100000 miles and luv the 2.5 L with its great gas mileage
Toyota is still the most reliable automaker in the world the only reason there like that is because they base there factory in the USA that’s why
Yes sir
Good Morning
Planned obsolescence so Toyota can now lose market share. The rest of the manufacturers are every bit as bad. Greedy buisness plan.
Mark I’m glad you mentioned the 2JZ and you can’t forget the 3S-GTE as well. The main difference between those engines and modern ones is simple, over engineered and built with quality materials to withstand major abuse and allowing them to last 200-300 thousand Km with just regular maintenance. So to me these problems now looks more like Toyota being cheap now on design and definitely materials then charging more to pad their profits.
Toyota was great until the now former CEO Toyoda left. Now Toyota has become like all the other vehicle manufacturers.
I dont get why "hybrid" is good. It still puts a time clock on life span. I dont want or need a hybrid nor an EV. Also, bring back the naturally V6 and V8. Im no longer a Toyota fan. You would have to pay me to buy one.
I agree the simpler, the better and NA V6 and 4 bangers are simple and reliable.
Hybrid is a good car if you plan on burning up its entire potential in the first 10 years... (aka put 200 or 300k on it)... if you plan on keeping the car a very long time (limited use and garage queen)... Hybrid is no good, better off with a naturally aspirated vehicle (no turbo)
i was going to buy an accord or camry in 18 used. i shyed away from ev and hybrid. another problem to fix.
Until now?????Does reliability includes over 100 deaths from unintended accelleration years ago??
well.....
Personally, I prefer Mazda.
I do as well these days.
U.S. Government to blame for all of Hondas problems also.
Yeah it all looks great on paper (carbon neutral) but in the real world causing reliability issues.
Damn - I just bought a GR Corolla a week ago - NOW I'm gonna hafta sell it-:)
Hafta 😂
This is what happens when USA engineers get their hands on stuff.
if you notice when toyota went to gdi n turbo they went down hill
Exactly
I’ve only bought Toyota and Lexus since 2005
I have never had a lemon in 8 vehicles
They had 4 cylinders and 3.5 L V6s. Never added oil to any of them between oil changes. Also never added transmission fluid to any of them.
I think that the new engines have a design flaw. The main rod cap bearings are not individual like previous designs. This is a good test for Toyota to see how the resolve this problem.
Right now Mazda is a better choice for the money. If I was in the market for a new car Mazda would be at the top of the list.
Good luck all!!
I so agree with you, and the older V8s and 2.5/3.5 are great but Mazda is a trustworthy brand these days and a little more price competitive
Lots of auto makers are thinking 🤔 "if it's not broken, we can probably still break it and sell more vehicles =planned obsolescence
I have four Toyotas. One 2017 tundra and two Camrys of year 2004 and 2005 and a 2011 toyota venza. My Camrys have close to 400k miles and tundra has close ton200k and my venza over 200k. They all drive smooth and no issues. Point is that those Toyotas I have, have the naturally aspirated engines. Now they are messing around with smaller engines with turbo. It’s garbage. Proof is in the pudding. I haven’t had major issues with any of my vehicles. Maintenance and wash every once in a while and good to go. Many of my coworkers have these new Toyotas with hybrids and turbos and nothing but issues. I’m always hanging to pick them up and taking them home cuz their cars either break down or start driving no faster than 30mph, and here I am in my older Toyotas and still keeps on going with no issues. I will stick with Toyotas/Lexus but with the older ones and the V8 and V6 and 4banger naturally aspirated. Not these new garbage engines. The vehicles look amazing but no way will those engines last like the old ones. Sad but true.
So I ditched my ten year old X5d, was looking at a new one with the b58 but that damn price. $120000, So bought top trim Lexus Rx350 hybrid. I am not particularly fond of the four banger but it was still forty thousand less then the x5. And naturally aspirated.
My last purchase before switching to Toyota, was a Mazda CX7 in 2007. 2.3 cyl turbo. It was a great car, but achieved much poorer gas mileage than any 6 or 8 cylinder I had ever owned. It's all smoke and mirrors, and I blame Cafe Standards set by President Obama. It was a not well thought out program.
Talking about horsepower is nonsense.
Rated brake horsepower is at a specific RPM and load tested on a friction or eddy-current brake.
James Watt defined one horse-power as 550 foot-pounds per second. Losses in gearbox and transmission are irrelevant.. That is why it it called brake horse power
Any engine works most efficiently at maximum torque RPM.
Toyota has some issues with their brand new trucks and now everyone is saying how unreliable the company are. While BMW has finally made a straight 6 turbo that for now is reliable. (Still a relatively new engine B58) and they are now the king of reliability…
I would own a Toyota in a heartbeat knowing that the company will rectify the problems…. One engine doesn’t not make the whole company unreliable and one B58 engine doesn’t make BMW overnight the paragons of reliability
In part this is the very issue that President Trump was about to work on during his last term, the over complexity of cars to achieve only tiny gains in fuel mileage. He wanted to relax the regulations because the gains weren't worth the financial cost to average Americans in paying more for that technology, as well as the costs incurred for break downs such as time lost from work etcetera, and the cost to manufacturers such as Toyota of suffering from overly technical engines. And like Hyundai/Kia a few years back, millings are now found in Toyota engines. I think Toyota would be the last company to have that happen. It's a sad state of being when Toyota can't simply progress along as they have always done. I'm blaming the EPA for having too much power, as well as out of control tree huggers, and the democrats.
yep, i have 5 new toyotas and scion since 2008 and although mostly reliable, they still had minor issues whereas my new 2017 corvette stingray in stickshift has 0 issues and I drive it harder and daily commute it.
when rav4 2019 new gen (5th) came out I remember having alot of troubles and 21 they fixed most of it so I think toyota is kinda trying new things out
but eventually will fix problems although turbo charging seems like not the best area of toyota's strength
Other brands are depending on useing Toyota for the hybrid systems they need to stay in the market. Subaru and Mazda come to mind. I don't know what Nissan is going to do. But these Japanese companies will fall by the wayside as the cafe noose tightens. I would not be afraid to purchase a new Camry or Corolla. A Tacoma would be nice if not so expensive.
I have to disagree with you, Toyota will not drag there feet on this recall they will come out better, and stronger remember KAIZON ...I would rather buy a recalled Toyota then any other brand
Turbos are great for people who don't mind buying a new car every 3 to 5 years. Personally, I like a car to run for 300K miles and use the money for other things...
They joined the race to the bottom
Yes they did and jumped on that wagon
There is going to be revolution in the car industry. It is hitting rock bottom. First was the Germans with their precision. Followed by the Japanese and their precision. Both were and still are in a downward slope. Electric car don’t have to complicated. The Baker electric had no computer
Parts. I know that is extreme comparison. But the point is that an electric car can have mechanical parts. It is a doable idea. The Electric cars of
Today are in rabid change at one point I believe someone will come up with the idea of a simple car with mechanical parts . Which I believe can be more reliable. I personally drive a 1997 Honda Del Sol Si . I am an original owner. I use Waze on my IPhone for navigation. The video control panel on cars is the biggest scam of all times. Other auto power sources like hydrogen with a fuel cell has so much more potential. I agree with the Japanese on this.
They are taking a negative and turning into a positive. They don’t have oil let’s find an alternative.
Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise, it's no surprise
That they're giving none away
Toyota reliability is made in Japan. Not Mexico.
I love your video's man, but seems like you are chasing the past. The quality of all cars today have gone down, from over engineering to cheap parts and in between and that is among all manufactures except may be some super expensive cars here and there.
I wish that Mazda would make the trucks again
They do make trucks, but don't sell them in America.
They have BT50 in the Asian market and Australia
@visnoumars1729 I wish they would bring them here, they were good trucks
The Toyota factory in Princeton , IN has been shut down for a bit now and will be down probably until December or January. I guess there were air bag issues and they are trying to correct them.
These videos with these headlines just to get views shouldn’t be allowed
100% agreed! I own a '23 RX 500h which we all know is a turbo hybrid. I already have 20k miles on it and I push TF out of it and it still drives like the day it rolled off the lot. No manufacturer produces a bulletproof vehicle. A few issues will not destroy a brand. They're still far more reliable than the bs this guy is spreading and I'll never own another make.
I agree with Lexus. They went all plastic on the inside or quality is not the same. That’s what they’re known for with Lexus brand they ruined the name.
Yes they have flipped the switch on quality from what I see and yet, charged more money
Yup this is why im sticking with there 18 models and lower.
Indeed. That's my plan. Have a 17 ES 350 with the old school fuel injection. Plan to get a clean LS 430 in the next year or so. And then in a few years a GX 460. We will drive these another 15 years and wait for the newer powertrains to be ironed out.
@@texlad04 nice yeah i had a 14 es350 with 141k miles it drove like a dream until i lose control and totaled it. Im now looking on buying a 2016 GS350 until winter with the market is hopefully a reasonable price.
All here represents my personal opinion. The more important then those failures in reliability are the difference between what data are on paper and what facts are in some cases. They simply lied in some cases. And those are cases that they admitted when pressured, when they were subject of a form of official investigations Hino a company owned by Toyota cheated and lied about one of it's engine regarding emissions. They said sorry we had some pressure to do so. Daihatsu another company owned by Toyota sent basically reenforced cars for testing regarding safety for 30 years. Toyota on some models also at safety testing programmed airbags to deploy milliseconds before impact so the redeengs to be improved. So in those cases at least, they sold products with data that were simply not true. And those are cases about witch Toyota admitted doing so. My opinion is that there may be many more cases then admitted in which Toyota sold products with another characteristics then those written on their papers. So this I consider to be more important because is about not mistakes made unintentionally but ones that included planning and aprooving about lying the authorities and us customers. Another thing also important is their profit. I found two tipes of numbers about net profit on cars average. Ones regarding US market and one regarding global market. On US market the numbers are ten times smaller then global one but the procentage and positioning between one brand towards the others is the same. The one with big numbers shown ( aproximate numbers from memory) for 2022 something like 920 dollars for each car sold for Hyundai, 940 for Kia, 980 for Volkswagen and .... 1200 for Toyota. For me that shows that Toyotas have much smaller quality price ratio. Nothing wrong ( analogy exagerated) to say that a bike is more reliable and cheaper to maintain then a speedy motorcycle. Because it is. The problem is to sell it at the same price as the motorcycle. Toyota were more reliable because the old school OLD technology used. But they were more expensive then the similar cars of the competition. More reliable and cheaper maintenance were indeed but not because better quality of it's technology by comparison but because lack of technology of pieces and systems that required maintenance and money to apply that maintenance. Now we find out that some cars didn't have the technology they said they had and that the main marketing the.e is gone through the window. Comparing f sport models on paper to similar BMW models, RX 500 ( lexus) to x5 50e we see that ON PAPER that we have reasons to believe it may present better numbers than should, ON PAPER RX 500 is weaker in performance but more expensive in price. And with recent reliability problems of models that tried more up to date technology, we might have a more weaker expenxive car and with reliability problems.Put all that to the way that Toyota handled wqranty claims of customers breaking the laws in Australia according to 2.8 DPF problems and federal first court decision regarding the issue, thinking that if done once somewhere could mean that it may be possible to be done more then once and everywhere.... Everything is my own personal opinion that I formed during reading news on internet.
I still think Toyota cars are better then many others but is not such a perfect brand as some think it is. HAS IT'S PROBLEMS THAT NEEDS TO BE ADRESSED
CORTEZMILLER YOU SAY TOYOTA HONDA NISSAN SHOULD GO BACK TO JAPAN SO THAT MEANS THE PEOPLE BUILDING THOSE CARS HERE IN AMERICA THEY GO BACK TO JAPAN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HERE IN AMERICA WOULD BE OUT OF A JOB

On scene 15:20 "2JZ Turbos." Those were from Engineering in the 1990's prior to the 2008 Massive Layoffs of those Engineers.. Not the same! Back then they had Heat Shields 🛡 between the Engine and Turbos. Now they're mounted next to each other. SUBARU Mounted them on top and because of the Flat Boxer Engine. The Head Gaskets on both sides blow out. GM EcoTech, Ford Ecoboost Code reads low compression of Cylinder 3.
Turbos heat up to 1,875° Fahrenheit or 1,020° Celcius... that heat warps the engine block.
The CVT, DCT, or Porsche PDK Transmission are all Junk. Audi, and Volkswagen Timing Chains or Belts are nightmares the Guides wear too quickly made of plastic, and cost more than $5,000 USA 🇺🇸 DOLLARS
Many great points. Somehow makes the best overall in your opinion?
So many shitcompany today i wonder if they are it because we should buy EV?
Honda lowley fell off
A little bit yes
Toyota has to take a long, hard look at itself so it doesn't become the Boeing of cars. The fifth-gen 4Runner came out in 2009 and it took 15 years to come out with the sixth-gen later this year. To meet the tougher emission standards, the engines are going smaller in displacement and generating more horsepower is a fact of life.
It’s a fact of life because of brain dead people voting democrat.
