COMMON TOYOTA PROBLEMS

1. DOOR MECHANISM IN ELECTRIC SLIDING DOOR ‘SIENNA’

This occurs when the cable in the door becomes frayed, which will damage the electric motor.

2. ENGINE LIGHT WITH CODE P1121

It is commonly caused by a failed three way coolant control valve. Valve replacement is recommended.

3. ENGINE WON’T CRANK DUE TO STARTER

If the engine will not crank over, the most common problem is the starter. Sometimes it is only the starter solenoid, but often the complete starter (including solenoid) needs to be replaced.

4. RATTLE FROM ENGINE AT ALL SPEEDS

The timing chain tensioner is designed to use oil pressure to keep tension on the timing chain. When it develops a leak, it can no longer provide tension, and the timing chain will begin to make a slapping or rattling sound at all times.
If left in this condition, the timing chain may fail leading to costly internal engine repair.
To correct this issue the timing chain tensioner must be replaced with the revised part.

5. EXCESS ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION

Sludge can build up in the engine because Toyota did not recommend frequent enough oil changes. Owners who changed their oil every 3,000 miles did not experience these problems. This sludge build up can lead to excessive oil consumption.

6. MASSIVE OIL LEAK AND LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE

The VVT-i oil line is known to burst. This is a very large leak which covers the ground, engine and undercarriage.
If the oil line ruptures while driving, the low engine oil message and engine oil pressure warnings will illuminate. Continued use after these warnings will result in complete engine failure due to oil starvation.
To repair the issue, the line must be replaced and the engine bay and undercarriage must be cleaned thoroughly.


Conclusively, it is advised that you act fast and tackle any issue head-on and promptly, as a stitch in time saves nine. Whatever your palava/headache is, allow us to massage your temples as our team @ https://ladipo.ng provides premium replacement parts for your vehicle needs.

They are not oh!!! Honda cars are actually more reliably built. Problem is... we are a single option economy and the parts sellers would rather invest in what the people drive than be sorry.

Very non-specific biased writeup.

Every vehicle has its issues. Preventive maintenance, and using the right parts for repairs will fix most of these issues.
