Gotta take all this info with a grain of salt. Toyota WAS a reliable brand, but this is a new era of smaller turbo engines, and they are off to a rough start with the new trucks getting recalled.
Well same with others. GM is always a mixed bag. Some engines are dead reliable and will last until the end times, and others are going to be in and out of the shop from year 1. No company has been completely reliable, but it all comes down to who has made more reliable vehicles overall.
The Toyota thing seems like a big deal simply because it's Toyota, but all the others going to smaller displacement turbo engines are having similar issues, but that is more expected and not publicized as much. I trust Toyota to eventually get it right before the other makers do.
@@patone2184 That used to be the case, hasnt been true for about 10 years now. The new Camry is better looking than the Accord, and even the Corolla hatch looks more exciting than a Civic. It's true Toyota doesnt push the envelope on performance in an effort to maintain their reliability rep, but you cant deny the GR Supra, GR86 and GR Corolla arent some cool performance cars (not to mention the Lexus IS 500, LC 500) and it seems they have more on the way soon.
Disagree on the Toyota 3.4 twin turbo. Rod bearing failures becoming common. I would wait a few years before buying one. Toyota claims it is debris in the motor from manufacturing process.
Tell you what, NOTHING is going to last as long as some of the Honda and Toyota engines of the past. I have an '03 Accord with 220k mi, still burns almost no oil between changes. I just inherited my dad's 99 Toyota Camry xle, four banger that has just shy of 70k on it. None of this new fangled turbo charged stuff will ever last as long as these old naturally aspirated engines. PERIOD!
This is all highly dependent on specific engines from these manufacturers. For example Ford and Chevy are propped up in the rankings due to the sheer number of V8's and V6's they continue to produce for their trucks and larger SUV's, but I wouldnt touch a small displacement 4/3cyl turbo made by either of those companies. Honda is also living on the reputation of the number of naturally aspirated 4 and 6 cylinder engines still on the road, jury is still out on their tiny 1.5 turbo which had some oil dilution issues early on. Pretty much everything Toyota and Lexus put out is top notch for reliability, and so far that even includeds the 300hp 3cyl turbo in the GR Corolla. You would have to go back quite a ways to find a Toyota engine that isnt good, and even then it was probably average for the time period it was produced.
Why are these lists always individually ranking the brands, and not the corporation? Lexus and Toyota on two separate spots? Why? They are literally the same engines. That would be like ranking Honda and Acura differently...literally the same engines. It is a pointless marketing exercise, and it dilutes the lists.
Leader in Recalls? Are you saying the most in potential vehicles count or overall recall count? Ford leads the most in Recall count, where Honda has the most "Potential Vehicles" count. Be very careful basing your car purchase off recall's in general. Honda spiked up on the "Potential Vehicles" recalls due to one major recall, that being the Takata air bag recall. There are 27 manufactures that were part of that recall, all the major brands use Takata airbags on their vehicles. The recall was not all Takata airbags, but certain ones. Honda just got unlucky with that recall. Please do your home work and check what the recall is for. A lot of the times it's safety and it's not something that means the manufacture did do QA correctly, but that its a supply chain thing which all manufactures deal with at some point.
JD powers ratings mean nothing. Right now manufacturers are having plenty of reliability issues including Honda and Toyota. Also why are people complaining about having to do repairs on 10+ year old cars and comparing them to newer models. I’m not saying some of those older cars weren’t unreliable but some of those issues are expected on older cars. I went to a dealer to have a the trans fluid changed in my fusion. They couldn’t get to it because they were booked up replacing ecoboost engines in brand new cars! I’m so glad my fusion has the N/A 2.5L.
I was shocked when the hyundai dealership told me it was normal for my sonata to use a quart of oil every 1000 miles. I had to make four trips to the dealership to finally get it worked on. It burns more oil than ever. They marked the oil plug and filter to make sure I wasn't draining the oil I guess. I had to explain to them I wasn't the bad guy here.
I agree with the issues and complaints for the Chevrolet Colorado. I bought a brand new 2018 but the truck started to give me transmission problems last year. Needless to say I traded it in for a Mach-E with no regrets.
I would never say “Japan” and “South Korea” in the same sentence when discussing engine quality. The Korean stuff grenades engines like a World War I trench battle.
@@Blue-moon12 Yes the 3.3L (G6DP) is a decent engine. It is prone to oil consumption and Carbon build up due to the older direct injection design. Guessing you have done all the maintenance on time, every time.
Ford runs a timing belt in oil. Neglect that service, and you're buying an engine. Honda's 1.5 turbo engine has a bad habit of blowing head gaskets. The K-Series engines are extremely reliable, though. Ask a brand new Toyota Tacoma owner if he's received a recall notice yet about (allegedly) machining debris. South Koreans are not even in this conversation. All I can say is if your Hyundai is using oil try to get it in before that 100,000 mile warranty is no longer in force.
Listing this as Ford or Chevy is not realistic. Many brands have good engines and not so reliable. I was hoping to see 2.3L ecotec. 2.5L RAV 4 engine (20xx -20xx years). As it is presented it is not a helpful video. Should have been titled top 5 brands for engine reliability. Still wasted my time here even stopping halfway through. This channel usually has better content.
@patone2184 A few years back I would have agreed with you, but since they've mostly dropped their wonderful V6 (and added problematic cylinder deactivation on the models that still have it) for most of their Honda/Acura lineup and are increasingly going to small displacement turbo engines...I don't know if they beat Toyota these days.
Timing chains tensioners are flawed, the 2nd gen Eco Boost are proposed to deal with that issue. But when you have 4 cam shafts and tensioners that are dependent on RPMS, there is 4x the possibility of issues. I always worry when a manufacture name a engine "Eco" anything. It usually means there is some type of Emissions magic that will break or cause issues after the warranty is up.
I made it 1 minute into the vid, shat my pants from laughing so hard, then flipped the bird. Never again. Thats a minute of my life Ill never get back.
Cars with short warranties are engineered just long enough to cover the warranty....after that, you're on your own. 💯🧐..besides, hondas are the fugliest cars on the market. 🤮
