      Wow that’s a fuckin big chunk a money. I hate to see anyone or any company face tough times, but as a bleed ford blue guy it gives me a bit of satisfaction seeing all the problems others are having. No manufacturer is perfect, and first year refresh vehicles always have thier hiccups. I’ve said for years that Ford gets a lot of shit talk from people who have had no personal experience with one and it’s honestly borderline pathetic. My personal experience over the years has proven to me that they are a much better company than people will try and convince you of, just as being a Subaru tech a few years back I can tell you from experience that company is givin entirely too much praise because the amount of major engine/cvt/manual trans/cam phaser issues I’ve repaired on them tell me different. Don’t believe anything somebody tries to convince you of, unless they come with personal experience, and even then if they are taking thier vehicle to a shitty shop that’s throwing parts at it left and right you can’t blame the car at that point

      It sure has. And nobody wants to see that. Toyota is a good company. They play alot of stupid games but so do many other manufacturers. We want toyota to do well. And I believe the biggest issues for them vehicle wise is all the new versions at once. Toyota has always struggled with first few years of any vehicle and problems. Or teething issues as we call it. But with a new tundra, new sequoia, new tacoma, new 4 runner, new land cruiser all within a few years, and all the teething issues for each. It's gonna be a rough road for toyota for a bit. And thoer pricing and practices are not helping their situation. Hopefully they get sorted quick and get back to being a great company with great vehicles.

    This engine family could be a big problem for Toyota. It's been out for at least 3 years, so I bet they know it's a design/manufacturing flaw and they're going to hide the solution until most engines are out of warranty. Toyota has been known to hide flaws like their V6 head gasket issues of the 1990's. Even though the forums had documented many failures, Toyota denied, denied & denied there was an issue until they were forced to provide an extended warranty. They should've been forced to replace all 3.4L v6 head gaskets proactively, just like they should be forced to replace all the TTV6 long blocks. They'll deny there's a problem as long as they can.

      @@totwallybaba Vet their product better with more long term beta testing in the real world before releasing a product to the consumer. This would mitigate so many quality issues that seems to plague the new generation Tundra. People expect more from Toyota based of their past experience with the company with previous purchases. Clearly something is a miss at Toyota since many of the big issues with the Tundra still exist in the current offering. Bad publicity goes a long ways. I was currently interested in a new 2024 Tundra I-force-Max and shied away from it and ordered a truck from a different manufacture. I have owned 4 Toyota products over the last 20 years so I know what should be expected from Toyota. As far as dealing with customers that have an engine failure under warranty, just offer them a new truck or their money back. Don't make them jump through the hoops of an engine replacement or a Lemon law buy back. If Toyota is confident in this 3.4L V6 engine design they should have no problem offering this kind of gesture. At this point in time Toyota will probably have to go above and beyond the industry norms to restore customer confidence in the Toyota brand IMHO.

    There's practically ZERO chance that the Ladder Frame is at fault here unless it is somehow contributing to oil starvation along the bearing surface. My guess is there's either a bearing tolerance issue, or a design flaw somewhere in the oil supply system. It would be very telling if they are seeing failures at the same bearing location. Also, using 0w20 can't be helping things and I sure wouldn't use that lighter weight oil in a turbocharged engine.

    Going out on a limb here. Went to go service my dad's 2024 tundra the other day. Just under 5000 miles and on the road for 7 months. Asked them about the first oil change and they said not due for 10,000 miles/1 year. Mind you this seems to be an industry standard now with how far full synthetic oil has come. But doesnt that seem really stretched out for an OCI? especially the first change where initial break in occurs, i would think there would be quite a few metal debri in the oil by 10k miles. Wonder if this could have anything to do with the spun bearings

    The LC pricing for me is not an issue, what I expect is major discounts on the Tacos which are the volume sellers but its a good start. Also I think now we see a reason that they are moving away from the TT V6 from the Tundra as it is not reliable. The Hybrid 2.4 is probably more reliable as it has been tested in other Lexus products.

I do my research on the ones I like, I then look say 10 years back, for a good example with low miles. I never buy the first generation anything. I have a 2003 Hilux, a 2010 FJ cruiser, and now with the mess forming around these new turbo engines, I am shopping for a Lexus in the 2015-2022 range.

    I think what irritates me the most about this whole Toyota 3.4 twin turbo thing is how much Toyota hyped it up claiming that it's going to run cool because they are using the best parts and how this great new engine is going to last so long, etc. Remember this is not just some 3.4 twin turbo engines with this potential weak point. This is ALL 3.4 twin turbo engines! Any motorhead knows when you add forced induction you better make that bottom end bulletproof or you're likely to have catastrophic failures. And the last video I watched about this was a 3.4 failing at 7k miles and Toyota said they "might" cover it under warranty!? So they jacked the price up so high because they are so proud but "might" not stand behind their lovechild product? BS!! Just from hearing this makes me turn away from these spineless cowards who can't back up their new and improved engine that can blow up at random. I feel sorry for the people who trusted the brand and got screwed once by overpaying and again with Toyota's "might" warranty.

      ​@@SamkoWorkShopTo be fair, Toyota has had pickups with turbodiesels since the mid 2000s. Talking about the Hilux of course. They can sell you a base model of that under $20k, has a torque exceeding the previous Tacoma's V6 with double the fuel economy to boot (1GD-FTV). The earlier engines (1KD-FTV) did have initial teething issues (cracked pistons) but resolved in the end. The turbos themselves are not the problem but the diesel particulate filter are. Toyota does have experience in turbos (2JZ-GTE, 3S-GTE, 1JZ-GTE engines). What it doesn't have is turbos with simultaneously dealing with strict US emissions and CAFE laws. You understand that for an engine to be fuel economical, its internal moving masses must be as thin and as light as possible while the increased stresses of turbos require the opposite. So you're looking for the middle road. This was something both Ford and GM invested early on, and although it isn't a smooth road, Ford has already over 10 years with its Ecoboost engines.

      @@SamkoWorkShop Turbo Diesels have immensely beefy rods, pistons and cranks that are also heavy. These components can absorb stress like no gas engine can, however their sheer weight means you can't rev them high hence why diesels have such low redlines. The beefier rods, pistons, cranks are, the heavier they are, and the more energy it takes to turn them. For turbodiesel, diesel produces more energy than gasoline, so it's not a problem for them. But for gasoline, the more energy is needed, the more gasoline is needed, hence, an engine with heavy beefed up parts isn't as economical as an engine with lighter, thinner parts. So if you have to design an engine as energy efficient as possible, you have to make the moving parts as light as possible, and internal friction as low as possible. However the first part runs contrary to what you need for a turbo engine which requires beefier parts. If your purpose is performance only, your solution is obvious. But if you have to require fuel economy with it, you are forced to deal with compromises. With the second part, reducing internal friction, it tends to result in engines designed with loose thin piston rings, which also increases the danger of fuel seeping through cylinder walls into the oil crankcase, resulting in fuel dilution. You already have one infamous case here and that's with Honda's 1.5 liter turbo engines. The fuel dilution eventually will damage moving parts of the engine critically. Breaking a thin piston ring would also be a catastrophic result.

      ​@@SamkoWorkShopyeah well. I have to say I am legitimately dismayed. As someone who loves automobiles I'm dismayed. I look at things and just think "they can do better than this". The quality and craftsmanship is lacking. It's like they don't care. None of them care. Over a hundred years making automobiles. It's really disappointing. And with artificial intelligence, running these things. The science to produce quality is surely there. We can test plastics. Steel. Tensile strength. Whatever. High strength steel. Ultra high strength steel. Friction. Load through a wire. Everything. Everything in a freakn car can be tested and designed. These companies have billions of dollars. What other reason can they have for turning out this crap? Other than either they dont care. Or they dont want it to last. We've progressed far enough every single part can be spec'd. Tolerances. There is no excuse. But I think it's the same that happend to tools. Take old hand tools throw them in a bender and you can see how many lbs per inch it takes to bend them. Because they couldn't figure out the exact needed they used higher quality steel to be safe. Then take new hand tools and do the same and they bend with considerably less force. Because now they are calculating to give the bare minimum quality steel. Often not even the minimum they'll take the chance you won't break it and return it. Cars went the same direction. Always been that way but now they are really pushing the limits. Most won't notice though they'll be paying attention to the electronic gizmos (if they work). I'm annoyed over the third gen tacoma I bought never mind the rest of the newer b.s. The standards are SO LOW. The expectations SO LOW. I see no real progress now In like the last 40 years. Mini TV screen and junk cameras on the cars. Whoop dee Doo.

    The 2018 LS500 has the same engine . Why don't we see more LS500 engine failures after 6 years now in 2024??? After 4 years this engine was in the LS500 for testing Toyota didn't think there was any problems before they put it into the 2022 Tundra ?? Is the problem in the main bearing cap????

    • @austinwade3194
      @austinwade3194 17 днів тому

      The LS500 isn't a truck. You can't look at engines in isolation. The external loads are much higher on the truck, not to mention "Toyota" drivers probably takes care of and drive their vehicles a little differently than most "Lexus" drivers.

    • @SamkoWorkShop
      @SamkoWorkShop  16 днів тому +1

      Good question. I could argue that trucks are used differently. But we have seen 3 recent lx600s go down with same issue. So not sure. I hope toyoa gets it dialed in adapter though. And I sure wish toyota would just give a new crate motor to the people that have these failures rather that trying to rebuild the entire engine and put everything back right.

    • @rottenrottie1515

      If external load was the issue, then Tundras that hauls heavy loads or trailers should have more engine failures,but it seems not to be the case.we have people stating that they been hauling heavy for 30k miles with no engine failures and we have people with very low mileage that haven't haul anything with engine failures??

    It takes 2-3 versions to get these motors as close to perfect as possible. Just avoid that first version, don't care if you think Toyota is the god of engineering reliability. I think they may have had a leg up in design of the Tacoma's iForce turbo 4cyl, so may be less worries there in version one. Time will tell, but I really want someone to crack it open, so we can see if they really built a bulletproof motor, and not blowing smoke up fanboy's butts. If it is built, you'll forget the V6 existed. Upgrade intercooler, drop-in turbo, and maybe tubing. Don't even need to go for more power. More efficient turbo is going to run cooler at same power. All without the added weight and required space of hybrid batteries.
