Toyota is in SERIOUS TROUBLE!! 

You left out the massive lug nut failures, and the fact that Toyota has the MOST DEBT of any company the entire world, in all of time.

If someone would NOT pay 70K for 'certain' vehicles, that would be pretty stupid. But I know what you mean. 😁

@@SmittyAZ A toyota isn't a 'certain' vehicle. Its a Toyota, and a pickup truck at that LOL

@@DW_1776 How about, I'm not paying 70K for any NEW TOYOTA?

You can't afford to.... correction

Especially a Toyota

Yes, but their sales are slumping. Stellantis has made their quality even worse.

Sometimes people buy a crap vehicle just because the financing works.

@@chetmyers7041 Short term financing.

​@@chetmyers7041Toyota has been shit for decades The dealerships are terrible and people pay a premium to be be ripped off. The only upside is I was able to sell my 3 year old Toyota for top dollar to another sucker

@@chetmyers7041we’re talking about you, Nissan Altima!

It's funny! Back in the day we didn't have half of the technology that we have today and they built good cars. Today they can build the best quality cars and parts with a technology we have but yet everything seems to gone backwards. It absolutely makes no sense. Everybody's so infatuated with gas mileage when it comes to these trucks and truck people who've been truck people all their lives don't care about gas mileage. The people who do complain about that are not real car people anyways. Who cares. If you're concerned about gas mileage then buy a commuter car but don't put those restrictions on trucks they should not have to fall in the same category. Also if they removed half of the tech that's in cars nowadays which most of us really don't need anyways the cars would be more reliable. The only thing it needs to run on computer modules is the engine and transmission and that's it. For example heating and air conditioning a standard manual module will work just fine it doesn't need to be hooked up to the computer system. They're more reliable and they'll work for years as long as you own the car and don't abuse it. I have a 2011 Chevy Silverado and the blower in that truck is a lot better than my 2017 Silverado 2500 HD that runs with the computer module system in the car. Blower in that truck sucks compared to the 2011

​@@westcoastronnieOC714companies are all paper pushers now and invest money in the wrong places along with catering to investors for profit margin

Yup, westcoastronnie, you're dead on. This push for gas mileage is because of CAFE regulations on gas mileage. Less reliable cars are worse for the environment, though. I wonder if it's an intentional push on the average consumer to consider an EV. Not many people enjoy driving a reliable toyota from years past. I do. I did modify it to suit me better like a true car guy, lol.

This is already common everywhere, and no one has gone bankrupt, because the majority of buyers are such zombies that they will buy any crap.

@@westcoastronnieOC714 I would like to add to this ---> Take that 'info center' and farm it out to the real radio/headunit makers (JVC, PIONEER, ect...) and make the connections universal. Have these radio manufactures supply the radios. I want a vehicle that I can upgrade the stereo system in it. Nothing really earth shattering, Just something a lot nicer.

Hi Luda!

@@dhn. This is a marathon not a sprint!

You mean LUDICROUS or the rapper?

Shout out Luda

"Move BH, get out the way" I yelled right after reading that post. 😷🤣😂

If you read the ACTUAL information instead of just the channels fear-mongering for clicks, Toyota fixed this prior to updating the parts numbers in April. The one you were purchasing may have been built before April, but anything after has the new assembly and corrected process

@bjgaspar are you will to bet $80,000 on that ACTUAL information? Few people are, but let us all know when you buy your 2024 Tundra.

@@bjgasparcopium.

@@bjgaspar How do you know the updated part fixed the issue? No one knows that. You are repeating a rumor Car Care Nut started and himself said is just speculation due to a part update.

Bruhhhh I was about to do the same thing with my 2016 Tundra SR5. I was negotiating for a 2023. After reading and doing research....I was like naaaahhh I'm good. I will continue to maintain the maintenance on my 2016. The dealership is still hitting me up via email or phone calls.

Do your homework,before posting rubbich.

xB

Also get rid of their dealers playing games.

​@@cmiles97x38its been 30 years since they built well priced reliable vehicles

It causes Championship-caliber teams to lose games when they shouldn't..

I'm so old I remember when Toyota dealers were humble and eager to serve their US customers.

@@NVRAMboi indeed. When 1,000,000 mile light pickups were their claim to fame. For a while now Ford, Chevy, and Ram have been blowing them away with their light and heavy trucks in both performance and reliability.

I suspect legacy is optimizing profits. They have jacked up prices while cutting manufacturing corners. They see the rapid move to EVs and they are making money while they can. The people making the decisions are grabbing what they can, while they can. They know that it's going to be very difficult for legacy ICEV companies to transition to EV companies and that many are likely to fail.

A cult...like Tesla

Terrible look...

Especially with price pressure coming from China, and having to make most of your growth in developing countries. If they continue to chase infinite growth, quality has to be sacrificed, because they have already tapped out their major markets.

Quality has been noticeably apparent and more problems. I’m not looking at Toyota for my next car.

Good point

The 3.4liter cost $28000 The previous V8 was $8000. Replacement cost not included. The Tundra would be scary to own after the warrenty expires .

Who’s going to test them if no one buys them?

yep, roast' it for a few years

@@Terry-p7t Why would it be scary to own after the warranty expires. Toyota would still be held liable and they have a long history of fixing problems off warranty like their problems with frames rotting out. My neighbor has a 2004 Tundra with almost 400k miles on the original engine and transmission and Toyota replaced his entire frame for free many years after the warranty expired.

Yeah you can buy a lightly used Mercedes SUV for the same price as a Camry

Toyota price is not bad, just their dealer is greedy and charge extras

@@dwang552 you think 65k for a midsize pickup isn't bad? You must have throw away money.

@@dwang552 Huh? Even at MSRP, 65k for a midsize truck is mental.

@@dwang552if supply was better dealer won’t do it

Yep. Manufacturing debris in the engine causing bearing failures. Doesn't matter if the engine was built in Japan or the US. It's a manufacturing defect.

yep. I drove one too and plastic was better in my kids toys. glad I have my Tesla

Agreed

That’s sad. When I rent a car I always look for a Camry.

Same issue with the highlander hybrid I kept hearing vibrating noise even on low speeds absolutely ridiculous?!!

joseph sir. what other vehicles can last as long as them do you recommend sir?

They've sat on their stellar reputation for too long. Their vehicles have become too boring, too low tech, and they have dropped quality in the hopes of generating higher profit margins.

@@johnkimble2361 check J.D. Power. It's not that hard.

Toyota to Chevy!?!?!

@@MyFriendlyPup Pretty much anything will be better than a 2020 Highlander. Plus, I have had a Silverado before and it gave me no issues.

@martymcfly256: Not what I would've chosen, but best of luck to you.

2015 GMC Sierra. 137k. Rolling just fine.

​@bobcook8576 2014 Toyota Camry with almost 241K miles. Still also rolling beautifully.

OMG! I would move!

@@PBurns-d4w I was thinking almost the same thing: What a shitty neighborhood.

@@PBurns-d4w 😂🤣😅

most boring street ever. life is too short to drive boring Toyotas

I'm thinking of another brand now this sucks I'm very frustrated

Toyota quality has gone down horrible. Just an overrated brand.

Agreed

Ever heard of copy exact? Same processes repeated the same problem.

@@deanrotering879 🤦‍♂️

If it's an engine design issue, why aren't all Tundras failing?

I know that dealership. On 17. Baited and switched on me. Almost flipped a few desks over in there...

@@dan3knight yup… that’s the one!

New Honda pilots are nice,you can hear the quality when opening and shutting doors!

same here, we were all in on the highlander and seeing more and more bad press are looking to honda instead.

We were purchasing a new car in 2021 and deciding between Pilot and Highlander. Ended up with the Pilot for $ 1k less. Haven't had any issues in the 3 years and would've expected the same with the Highlander. Still own an 06 Highlander and never had any issues with that vehicle. Both are great vehicles.

@@dbmn7571 grand highlander has a stop sale now for non working airbags lol. ill keep my Tesla

Subaru joined the Borg. Toyota owns at least 20% of Subaru and has a smaller stake in Mazda

Give us an update at about 80k miles. Subaru went with CVTs, I think, in 2021. Their CVTs are horrible and do not last.

I use to sell Subarus for years, but I own a Toyota Highlander.

@@z512345 we have a Highlander too for the last five years. Love it!

@@BoycottRU-vidit’ll take me 8 years to put that many miles on. Haha

i think the weirdness, stupid titles, the constant reposts are coming from the son. Seems they drank the clickbait and crazy titles koolaid

Fear mongering? How? Toyota claims metal shavings from manufacturing are left behind in the 3.4L V6. Yet somehow this is happening in both the Japanese and American engine plants.

@@shadow13265You must be a Toyota employee.

Are you a Toyota employee?

@@Shakespearelover1717 nope. Toyota can sink for all I care. Criticizing the recent content has nothing to do with car brands

What did make the list? I’m looking as well and always buy Toyota so don’t have a clue now.

@@cindyloppnow1621 Mazda

That's why they "partner up" with other brands like BMW and Subaru, to breathe some life into their stale product line.

😂😂😂😂🏆🏆🏆🏆

Lol do you live under a rock?

Everything is rotten in Denmark.

@@lordt78 Truth!

56k for rav4 prime. ouch. just get a Tesla at least they innovate and have good value.

Don't forget Branden!!!!

Sorry to hear that. But anyone choosing to work in that industry (I had 9 years) knows that it is a "feast or famine" proposition upfront. *Usually dictated by US economic recessions.

usa doesn't make competitive products, unless you work for Tesla. 97% of all f150s are sold in North America, tells you how competitive legacy makers are.

The problem is more likely due to people who preceded Farley. Ford, and other legacy companies, waited too long before taking EVs seriously. Now they are looking at eroding market share without having good, affordable EVs to replace their lost ICEV sales. The previous Ford CEO bragged that he had never ridden in an EV. Like a buggy maker who ignored the Model T.

I also work for 1 of there supplier, was told there production won't start until at least Aug. 5

My impression is that legacy sold a lot of cars. To their dealers. Now the dealer lots are packed full so manufacturing has to slow/stop.

And they both waited months for Toyota's permission to talk about it. TFL sold their "long term" Tacoma after about six months, so they'll never have to take it on snow again.

What makes it interesting, in my opinion, is that on TFL, the Colorado traveled the same path and did not break. It was good that it didn't as it was able to rescue the Tacoma. It was one of the worst rated and hated brands helping out the Best and no wrongdoing brand, who would have guessed.

I wish you luck. The biggest potential issue with the CX90 is once the warranty is up. The engine bay is so jammed full, even the smallest repair or maintenance jobs will require the entire engine to be removed and reinstalled, because you just can't get at anything. The labor costs would be eye popping. That's why I opted for a new Traverse instead or a CX90.

Wow

I’ve had two Camry’s went well into 100k before trading them in without any issues, and I currently have a 2023 rav4 with 15k and not one single issue. I’m not quite sure what’s going on with your Rav, but that’s not the common consensus.

Sometimes cars are YMMV.

@lordt78 If we actually want to talk mileage, my Toyota only has at best 25% of the mileage in comparison to my Honda. I do know what you're getting at, but I will go further. My GM Saturn back in the day had no problems until hitting the 135k mark. My Toyota is nowhere near this.

Yep, the main reason people buy Toyotas is for the reliability! If the don't have that anymore they will start losing sales.

And that claim of reliability was just that: a claim. They only ever had a few models that were above average reliability.

Do you know what "woke" means?

Better decision actually, Subaru’s and Mazdas have been and are getting much better than Toyota and Hondas hands-down

@@martinr8278hey just don’t make anything like the 4 Runner

Yeah, i'm with ya. I've only owned & driven Toyotas for the past 25 years. Seems like a higher risk nowadays paying for new Toyotas

Because they didn't break down on the highways the day the warranty expired. You could drive an old Toyota to 200,000 miles with bare minimum maintenance.

People believe marketing and are incapable of doing the bare minimum of research before buying. Then they have to justify their purchase and convince others they made the right decision. Misery loves company.

I agree with that, people have just brainwashed others on RU-vid about how they’re so bulletproof and last forever blah blah blah, the issue is they have just as many problems if not more than other brands, if they’re so bulletproof and don’t need any maintenance? Why are there service bays for Toyota‘s, they’re always full. I’ll stick to other better brands Mazda, Subaru, maybe even Honda. Toyota’s. are just for the overrated for people that think they have something grand, but live in a fantasy world

@@coherentpanda7115 yeah, we had a neighbor that believe that also bare minimum, maybe an oil change every 75,000 miles lol laughed hysterically when I saw his Toyota Camry getting towed to the nearest Toyota service department, that’s pretty pathetic. Meanwhile, our Subaru is out doing his Toyota in mileage and quality and reliability. Shake my head.

whats better sir? im being sincere?

It was coming

@@xxxpensive1415 crazy how much technology has improved but quality has gone down

LOL, no

The Taco is made in Mexico and Toyota moved Tundra production from Indiana to Texas to make it easier to source more Mexican content.

Also insanely overpriced

@@steven4315Toyoderps will tell you it’s assembled in Mexico but “made” in Japan. K lol

​@@steven4315They should have a a Toyota Borito with the 4 liter V6 and the 5 speed a.t.

@@Terry-p7t Toyota chalupa with a turbo 3 cylinder and jatco CVT assembled in mexico

Same here.

Just bought one. Wasn’t easy. They are all sold before they hit the dealer lot so had to reserve one and wait 4 weeks.

Dude, stay as far away from Nissan as humanly possible. They have sensors for their sensors that sense other sensors. No, I'm not exaggerating. And yes, they all break every year.

For sure, Miata’s are vastly superior and might be the most reliable car made.

EV sales continue to rise. EVs made up 18% of global new car sales in 2023 and are expected to reach 25% this year. EVs are now 50% of all new car sales in China which is the world's largest car market.

I see what you did there. ;)

Ha ha

What they told you was called "damage control" my guy
