It’s an engineering issue that they will never admit because they somehow think we are going to buy the engine debris theory. The cast Iron bearing caps are the issue and here is why. Aluminum and cast iron expand and contract at different rates. The bottom portion of the main bearing caps and the torque specifications of the bolts that hold them in place are off. The Aluminum expansion is greater than the cast iron allowing normal metal shavings during engine break in period to get into the main bearing. It’s engineering one on one. They messed up thinking that cast iron would somehow prevent main bearing damage under extreme pressure. Torque specifications differ between aluminum and cast iron. They gambled at lost.. Go woke go broke. They could have kept the V8 and made it more fuel efficient, but they wanted to be clever and claim all this greatness with a V6. If the V6 was so great they would be using it in trophy trucks. V8 all day long is the better more reliable platform… the quality of the turbos in the V6 will not reach the mileage of the natural aspirated V8. Truck limited by to many variables that can fail is an ESG conformity rather than a customer first business model. Sorry Toyota is not on the right track.

Since he bought the truck in May it has been to the dealer twice for the window gap/ wind noise issue that you talked about here and leaking rear diff. They told him at a dealer here in Denver that the diff wasn't leaking and what he was seeing was oil that was left on the diff/ seal area during manufacture. There are oil drips on his garage floor.

Also, it should be noted that quality control in the entire auto industry overall has gone down the past decade (way more plastic components, disrupted supply chains, and the cost of materials, such as precious minerals, has gone up), and more manufacturers have implemented an unnecessary amount of ECUs post 2013. The entire auto industry itself is looking pretty bleak, especially with dealerships price gouging vehicles. To Toyota's credit, at least they're trying to rectify the issues of the 2022-2024 vehicles, but I would undoubtedly steer clear of their new platforms (or from any other auto manufacturer) until these issues are resolved and there's more evidence to suggest it won't be a detriment.

There are Tundra owners that tow and have made these modifications and show you and even a few sell the kits from Sparks Toyota with all the respective parts to install the cooler. Look it up, that’s my plan on my 2019 Tundra SR5.

I drive a 2023 Nissan Frontier PRO4X, got it new June 2023. I love it, has every option on it. The zero gravity leather seats are fantastic and I am 6'2 260 lbs. The 3.8 engine has plenty of power and torque, the 9 speed trans shifts just fine. I got rid of the OEM Hankook tires this month. I was not impressed with them, replaced them with the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac RT. Truck drives much better now.

[@Marco-yl8cm]

I wouldn’t touch Toyota/Lexus vehicles with this engine at least in the next 5 years. If the issue is due to craftsmanship, then they can probably fix it in the next couple of years. However, If this is a design flaw, I doubt they will ever fix it. Their 4.6 and 5.7 V8 engines, which are always quoted as “bulletproof”, also have fatal, inevitable flaws such as cam tower leaks and coolant valley leaks, both of which require complete engine tear down to fix (just Google these terms to see them to believe). They also know these problems for the past 10+ years but never attempted to fix them.

Marketing for sure got a lot of us real good. Toyota could offer one possible option to “bought new Tundra owners” simply: ATTN: Test dummies turn in your defective Tundras and receive a new Tundra.

Nissan picked a bad time to discontinue Titan. Nissan will discontinue production of the Titan full-size pickup truck after the 2024 model year. Production is scheduled to end in the summer of 2024 at Nissan's Canton, Mississippi plant, which will then be used to make two new electric vehicles

[@tdbassman1]

Nissan could have found itself ironically sitting as a truck reliability leader with the quality issues all the other brands are have experienced in recent years. That would have been a change in market perception from the early titans. I may have missed something major but the Current titans, minus the short run of cummins powered trucks, and maybe the frontier seem to be pretty solid.

This is an awesome video, I have a Nissan and it's been solid! I'm sure Toyota has tested the new engines and it is a manufacturing problem, not a basic design problem. I just can't see them releasing these new engines without them passing a complete durability test program. You pointed out that they have more than just engine problems, transmissions, differentials, trim etc! They had so many years between models to perfect this new design, what happened? Toyota was reputation was built on slow gradual changes over many years, testing everything before it was sold. They better get some really talented people in engineering, quality and the manufacturing departments to replace the people who helped make this mess!

[@TheCarGuyOnline]

I think they Toyota will turn it around. Funny thing is, they are still selling the crap out of these Tundras. I see people in the Facebook groups and forums every day saying "I don't care about the recall, bought it anyway". Crazy town.

[@303topgun]

As a former Toyota Master tech, lot of the issues with Toyota Quality started few years back when they decided to transfer engineering from Japan to USA. They wanted all the engineers to be American bec they knew the quality of US roads lol😂. They said a Japanese engineer won’t know how people in USA drive. Also, vehicles built in Japan had less issues then American built. If you vin number started with J then it’s was much more reliable then US variant. This is why I don’t buy anything new from Toyota and wait till all the fuckups are fixed by them.

[@jeffreyfurtado3681]

$ cost is the real reason. In 1995 a LE Camry cost $21350 dollars 💰 equivalent to $42,000 dollars today. Most Camry cars had some cars made in the USA and Japan. However, most parts were sorced from Japan which is why costs were high. A Gen 8 Camry L, LE could be bought for around 22 to 23k dollars.

I wouldn't worry until something happens, if they have a recall, deal with it when they send it to you. I think it's an individual thing, some people freak out about the recall, some don't. Once you own the truck, it doesn't make a lot of sense to panic sell. I would be skeptical to keep it past the powertrain warranty though. But that's just me.

My 22 tundra arrived to the lot brand new off the truck and there was an oil pressure issue. The techs caught it during inspection and they said there was no check engine light. They asked me if I still wanted it and that they would fix it. They did. I’m glad they caught it. I figured it was nothing and it’s Toyota. The only other issue I’m having now is that there appears to be an oil leak form the rear main seal. I cleaned it off twice and it came back. Took it to the dealer and they put dye in it and told me to come back. I’d say the techs changing the oil should have noticed the leak it was decently large and easy to notice. I go in every 5k for oil changes. I noticed the leak when I was wiring my side steps.

This has got to be really hurting Toyotas sales. Mike Sweers the head engineer for the tundra that’s now been promoted??? I would think he would be somewhat to blame?

[@Marc-le4qd]

Just wanted to say that I am so happy you are making these videos about the V35A engine failures. It’s ironic, but “The Car Care Nut” did a video posted 5 months ago about the best and worst Toyota engines. About half way thru the video, he mentions the V35A concerning turbo issues as well as he actually states that there is contamination from the engine factory, how did he know that? Recall just came out end of May, 3 weeks ago. Toyota has known this was the issue or he would not have been able to say that comment. Im pretty sure he has a Toyota insider that leaked that to him. Anyway, this engine failure is a serious issue and consumer safety should be top priority, not designing, manufacturing, and selling new vehicles. They clearly stated that there was an issue in their manufacturing procedure that has the potential for catastrophic engine failure. All Tundras effected should be parked and Toyota needs to provide transportation vehicles to these customers. NATSA should have more power to enforce these manufacturers to fix these problems. Chevy Volt was another joke of a recall. These vehicles could explode without warning, telling customers to park it outside in case it went up in smoke. That’s total BS. Different problem, but same issue concerning the lack of safety for the consumer. Guess it is to be expected, look how long it took to get seat belts in cars. We need another Ralph Nader to step up and get the government to do something about the safety recalls. I guess Toyota expects their customers to park these vehicles and go rent a vehicle. I don’t really care if it cost Toyota 3-5 billion to fix this issue. They created it, so they need to fix it. Keep in mind, all of us that bought back in 2022 and 2023 got hit with MSRP at a minimum, some were asking $20K above MSRP. BTW, one dealership tried that one on me, never step foot on their property again. Hope that dealership goes bankrupt for the way they treated potential customers.
