Is Toyota as Reliable as we try to make it seem in this country ?.

I've come to realise it's very easy to diagnose and the China inferior parts are everywhere Hence the reason why people think the parts are cheap. correct

I've used quite a few toyota's and I can say they are not very solid as people try to make it seem. wrong

I had a 2007 camry bought from the states . Started shorting oil after 9 months. This is a very common problem with this model but people never mention it.
Ps I used the recommenfed oil, Mobil 1 from USA 5w-30 Prone to 2az-fe built in the USA. The European /asian specs do not have same issue.

The almighty corolla we love so much is quite durable. But the suspension components are garbage and within a while the suspension noise will start.Strongly disagree
The original parts are not even cheap. General for every OEM part
But if you patronize the cheap Chinese you might get them cheap but they give away so fast. General for most fake parts

I'm currently using a 2008 Highlander V6 2gr (picked it over the rav4 and rx330 ) Bought it 2 months ago.

This vehicle has only 120k original miles. The movement is very quick I must say .
On the glass it states the former owner has been servicing with 5w-20 Castrol and I was lucky to find couple of service history receipts in the glove compartment.
The car has been taken cared of well. But I noticed quite a few perks in a car of such miles. It makes the dreaded grinding noise at start up. I already changed the oil with 5w-20 Mobil but still same. not every 2gr has same issue, but it can be replaced.

Why would a car of this mile be having vvti issues then I searched Internet . This is a common issues with this vehicle, The rav4 v6 , highlander v6 , auRion and Co .
From 2006 -2010 .
Toyota didn't issue any recall infact I found out it was a night mere for most users as they sold theirs when he noise started.

I also have foul smell from the exhaust when I accelerate You should not be able to perceive exhaust fumes from the cabin. Is vehicle previously salvaged? . My catalytic converter is in good condition. No Cel . Most people also complain of this issue on the rav4 and highlander from as low as 30k miles.

This smell is scary because even with the windows up I smell it in the interior.


Their are loads of shitty issue I've noticed on toyota but people will ignore because of the hype.

The 2gr I heard is over 500k. 340k

The camry 4plug engine is over 250k and it's not very durable.
** Start up sounds even from using the right oil
** Burning oil .
** The engine is also quite lazy. Ecu tuning


I feel this brand is over hyped. very sturdy build and easy to fix
And people spend hundreds since it is not thousands why should we complain? repairing this cars but they don't find anything wrong in doing that.
But if it was a Honda with such problems they would give it names.



If it was a Honda or Nissan it would have been crucified.

Please my tiny light toyota is making annoying noise at the back rear of the drivers side??

My mechanic changed the shock absorbers and since then that noise is coming out. Please someone should quote me.

PS-the rods and leakages supporting the absorbers has been removed yet the noise persist
