WARNING! All New Toyotas Are Plagued With Problems! (Do Not Buy)

My mechanic friend told me, that if u have a good car that works, fix what’s wrong and keep it.

The older vehicles are simpler and more predictable and I generally agree with that. The only problem with older cars is rust in areas where they used too much salt on the roads

[@guerorobles423]

You are absolutely correct. I read somewhere that the way they make cars now and days they make them with small engines and boost up the hp to the max potential the engine can handle from the factory. Then you have someone who comes and buys it starts modifying it boosting up the HP even more and they blow them up with a couple thousand miles. A lot of that though has to do with the Euro emissions bullshit. I own a motorcycle and they are even starting to do that to modern motorcycles. Gone are the days of high reving inline 4 engines like the R6. Everything is going parallel twin, v2 or v4 engines.

Toyota has had a lot of bad models/engines since the early 2000´s but people never mention them, because Toyota is a taboo "nothing goes wrong ever and never" and that is a big lie. Just like Mercedes and VW/Audi they USED to bee good in the 70´s and 80´s but that is a long time ago, these days they are complete rubbish. I am a Hyundai and Nissan advocate, i have had several in the past +30 yrs and they have been very reliable cars and they are much cheaper to buy used than a over hyped and priced Toyota. I have had one 2007 Toyota and it was plagued with issues, low miler car had 1 owner and a full service history yet i had to do a lot of repairs during the 3 yrs i had that car, Head gasket, suspension and other parts here and there, no more Toyota´s for me. back to Nissan & Hyundai and all is good again. I currently drive a 17 yrs old Nissan and it just goes on and on and on with no major mechanical issues, apart from basic maintenance, brake pad/discs only some annoying door handle/locking issues.

[@dariusslay279]

They had to update their vehicles. Toyota had terrible performance terrible fuel economy unless hybrid and no features in their vehicles for decades. They are now in the 21st century with everyone else. Now they get to see what everyone else had to deal with except now they are behind all the other manufacturers that been doing this for years. No more introducing Bluetooth in 2014-2015 when others had it 10 years prior.

I've only heard good things about the 2025 Camry so far and I didn't see any major issues in this video. I don't use the infotainment system setup in my Camrys as I don't want my car to be connected to the internet. I haven't had any problems with my 2012 and 2018 Camrys and Toyota has a good reputation in dealing with recall issues generally. The CVT tech in the Camry was introduced in 2017 and I assume that they have any problems worked out now. Hybrid has been around for a lot longer I think so those should be bulletproof now. I would not be surprised to see pandemic-era issues, particularly with car sitting around for long periods of time waiting around for parts before they could be sold but they seem to have been selling all that they could make for 2024 up until maybe two months ago. I've not heard of problems with the 2024 Prius or Corolla (outside of the sport model) and you're probably not going to want that anyways if you're buying a Corolla. I'm not really sure what demographic they're going after with that model. Most people that want a cheap, performance car buy an old Accura or Honda and then soup it up.

Most youth today are too lazy or just do not want to learn how to do it. There still are a few cars out there that are manual but most people today are lazy and don't want to learn or they want to fiddle with everything in the car so their hands are free. It's sad back in the day the 1980s Toyotas got at least 30 mi per gallon. My Toyota Tercel l researched it back then and got 30 mi per gallon. I remember I could practically go almost a whole week on a full tank of gas maybe even longer if I didn't do a lot of running around. Let that sink in folks! 30 mi per gallon on a 4-cylinder car in the 1980s for toyota. There are no 4 cylinder cars these days that do get 30 miles per gallon. Is there ? Are we going backwards here?

Ford: Recall king Stellantis: recall queen GM: recall court jester perhaps

[@ECPP]

Haha yes i love that one

[@xiondFirst]

People need to realize 2 things EPA and regulations have made the cars what they are today. Toyota is still more reliable than most brands out there today. They aren't problem free like they used to be. But that's just reality now.

[@kaiserbillxiv1245]

Wouldn't surprise me if the Tacomas were made in Mexico.

[@thomaskim5008]

Tundra with the engine problem is made in San Antonio USA. So, the problem is not just Mexico manufacturing

[@robnj7639]

So does"24 Lexus have the same problems??

[@ECPP]

So far the 3.4L turbo in the LX600 but the 3.5 NA is good and then2.4 turbo is Ok but same as Toyota and the 2.5NA is good when matched up in the hybrids

[@Jubeidono2012]

The new tacomas are designed by the finance department.

[@nowzthetime]

Oh okay so now when I have enough money to buy a brand new Toyota I shouldn't buy one because they are not Dependable anymore seriously I have the worst luck

[@pacificdragon1]

Sounds like Toyota’s may not be worth the additional Toyota Tax.

[@ECPP]

Yes that tax is finally too much

[@silverslvr5185]

How come there’s no mention about the front suspension issues (no bump stops)?

[@glennoropeza3545]

Unfortunately too many vehicles including Toyota has to answer to government standards for safety and fuel efficiency and lower emissions! Quality got compromised!

[@curtgomes]

"At Ford....Quality is Job one!" Well, not so much anymore..........

I have a 2025 Camry and have never been happier. But you do you.

[@dannybryant6873]

I'm thinking my next vehicle will have the Camry hybrid drive train. Probably Crown or RAV4. Any word on problems with this system? No turbos. No start/stop system. No belts (accessory timing or Wet). No sleazy mechanical CVTs. No GDI without port injection. No 11 speed torque converter automatic. No torque converter. No 12 Volt starter or alternator. I hope they stick with the nickel battery. It seems safer than lithium. Electric car goodness without the electric car drawbacks.

[@929cbr_rr]

I suspect at least some of the legendary "toyota quality" is just hype that has been repeated so much, that folks just accepted it as fact and truth. Tacoma, Tundra, Sequoia and Four-runner frame rusting problems anyone ? Toyota like all the manufacturers have built some dogs. I'd still buy one. I'm considering a new Tacoma to replace my 2006 Frontier, because the Taco is about the only truck left that I can still get a manual transmission.

[@ECPP]

Yes I agree, I came across a beautiful new manual Tacoma slightly used that looked very intriguing

[@DirtyCityMick]

My 2019 subaru forester has been super reliable. Boring though, not much power. Cvt is totally fine on Subaru. Best vehicle I've owned and that includes a turbo mazda cx7 that blew up.

[@RespectfullyHumble]

North American drivers don't want or need small turbocharged fuel efficient weedwacker engines in our medium or extra large cars trucks and SUV'S. Why because they just aren't built to last. The majority of North American buyers like me want big fuel thirsty V8's that are strong tough and are built to last for 20 years plus, just look at the new smaller fuel efficient Tundra twin turbo V6 motor vs the older gas guzzling V8's of the previous Tundra! We are Americans and we don't care about fuel efficiency. We care first about reliability, durability, power and torque, and towing capabilities that only big cubic inch V8's can deliver. Smaller and more complex twin turbocharged six cylinder engines just don't have the long lasting reliability of gas guzzling V8's and that's a fact. We as consumers want more gas guzzling V8's in American and more patriotic. We are Not European consumers that constantly worry about fuel economy and efficiency they do that's why they prefer tiny weedwacker turbocharged 0.5 liter three cylinder engines. Their culture in Europe can and should never be adopted here in America, their governments in Europe dictate socialist engine size mandates, We don't want that Euro crap here in America! I am for V8's forever in our pickup trucks and SUV'S. America Hell Yeah America 🇺🇸 .

[@RottenAnimal]

Is there any reliable vehicles anymore?????????????

[@streetfighter.youtube]

Go for to the 10 years old ones ...

[@ECPP]

Or even the 5 years old and many are still great with the 3.5, 5.7,4.0 etc

[@femaledeer]

Can any car company consistently make high quality vehicles ?

[@jameshowlett2868]

I have a 2020 Corolla SE and a 2023 4runner sr5 premium, both made in Japan. And i do not intend to sell or buy any vehicle ever. I am safe.

[@glovedcop69]

So the non cross corolla is fine? I haven't seen any issues with a regular corolla.

[@2269tah]

All of the TRUSTED Japanese auto Manufacturers are having Quality Control issues. I believe CORPORATE GREED is to blame here. For the sole sake of making more PROFITS, they have sourced inferior manufacturing processes in their engine & transmissions subcontractors, inferior labor in Mexico and the US plants (especially the ones in Alabama where many problems are stemming from currently) and their sense of just pushing things through and not to stop the production line (taking the teeth & claws out from under their QC technicians) and here we are.

[@kenkeil6144]

When I bought my 21 Es 350 you tubers like yourself said get one now this engine and trany are going away. Glad I listened And by the way price was less than non luxury crap dealers push today

[@RobertYonng]

Engines are manufactured in one plant

[@ECPP]

Yes

[@JasPlun]

I know how that company works, I am not worried. They still have the lowest failure rates as a whole than any other brand I will roll the dice on them over any other brand. Does not mean I will get a good one, but my odds are I will get a good one:P

[@ECPP]

It’s still a solid bet but it’s a little worrying with the amount of challenges that speak to quality control

[@JasPlun]

@@ECPP I agree, but I will give it a little more time because of the complexity of things now days. They still have to meet government regulations and that is why they have had no choice but to go with turbo chargers etc. Just know this they will now take what they have designed and make it bullet proof over time because Toyota has the tech to last many years before having to re-design again. They have always taken what they have and improved it over time. I never buy Toyotas the 1st 2 years of a new design I wait 3-4 years then buy. Just my rule I follow. Our 2020 Camry was 2 years in a little too soon for me to buy, but they were already showing good signs by 2020 they had worked out the early transmission failures and they were down to a minimum and the gear hunting was also solved. Honda on the other hand has seen drastic quality changes I am worried about them they are not the Honda of old for sure!

[@vinnyboomba9948]

Their not made in Japan anymore.

[@ECPP]

Canada, US and Mexico

[@Calventius]

I love my new 2024 black FWD platinium highlander with Carmel glaze leather seats. It is performing well at 1,006. Miles. 😊
