Do you think these refreshed parts will fix the Tundra engine? Are you surprised how well they are selling despite the recall?

@joekearney Ай бұрын

I don’t believe it will honestly, maybe help or lower failure rate some , but I think until the bearing cradle is redesigned it’s still gonna be a worry . I’m very surprised but also not surprised , the amount of people who walk blindly through life with no research would surprise you.

One would hope but it wouldn't surprise me if they have to do a few more revisions to get this actually fixed.

@beamanofgoodcharacter Ай бұрын

Yes, I believe the new fix will resolve the problem. It's not rocket science; they just needed to update the part and possibly will switch the oil viscosity to 5W-30. Also, it doesn't surprise me that Tundra sales are up. How many people do you think follow the news or are aware that the Tundra has faced many issues? I don't think many. Most buyers see the deals and assume that all issues with the new model have been resolved since the truck has been in production for three years.

Better fuel economy, as much power AND it has 7.2kw power on board. Toyota can do better, they just need to do it.

@MsAce0424 Ай бұрын

I worked a 4 dealerships as a service advisor. Couple garages as a technician. All of the dealerships had times where motors needed rebuilt. Honda for example with the oil consumption issues. They did so many of them, that they techs started beating the warranty labor time, which is commonly less than real labor time. 9 out 10 times, they never came back with issues. Only for maintenance and they remained happy customers. When i worked at ford and some diesels had to be taken completely down, the techs did just fine. It's possible. However, i think with toyota giving junk time limits and the motor being complex, that will make it less reliable. More techs over the bs than anything. But to say 98% are not able to do this job is absurb. All dealerships have different level techs. The ASE dealership certified techs for major engine builds will be the techs on the job. Not the tire and lube techs or maintenance and parts changers.

Toyota hasn't changed. They deal with these issues the same they always have. Just like when the 3.0 V6 head gasket and valve issues were occuring, they eventually were coerced to step up to the plate and cover the problems, but they dropped the compensation to the service and parts departments to mitigate costs. This ends up with rushed jobs and poor service quality. People who ride the Toyota Popsicle conveniently forget all their missteps.

Here’s my perspective on why people still buy or at least consider buying the Toyota Tundra over the big three American brands: 1. The big three (Ford, GM, and Ram) have a history of not prioritizing their customers’ needs. Despite being brand new, these trucks often have issues, as the manufacturers focus more on aesthetics than reliability. I know many Ford, GM, and Ram owners who are frustrated because parts start failing after just 50,000 miles. 2. Toyota, on the other hand, has always emphasized reliability over flashy features. Their trucks may not be the most stylish, but they are dependable. This applies to Nissan trucks as well. Japanese engineering and their commitment to customer satisfaction are unmatched in the auto industry. 3. While the recent engine breakdown issue with Toyota is concerning, their reputation for reliability suggests they will address the problem thoroughly. My 2011 Tacoma still runs like new, while my friends have already had to replace their trucks multiple times due to issues with the big three. This challenge will pass, and Toyota will continue to prove its worth.

@alank8266 Ай бұрын

You are correct as far as I'm concerned on all 3 points. I got tired of spending so much time at Stellantis and GMC dealerships and in loaner vehicles. I bought a brand new GMC Sierra SLT with 5.3 in 2018. Awesome riding and driving truck, but terrible wind/road noise - dealer couldn't or wouldn't fix, several recalls, infotainment system glitched, brake controller/modulator (truck brakes, not trailer brake module) had intermittent warning light, burning 1-1/2 quarts of oil between 5000 mile oil/filter changes with only 28,000 miles on it along with numerous other issues. It was at the dealership for some issue every couple of months. I got rid of that thing just before the bumper to bumper warranty ran out. I bought a 2024 Tundra iForce Max with no hesitation, no regrets - oil and filter changes only, everything works, no glitches, tows my tractor better than the GMC towed my lawnmower (same trailer).

My sisters best friend bought a 2024 Tundra in May....I was visiting in early June and we all got together and I asked said to him..."Tim, why did you buy a Tundra?? He asks wha?? He was a former Tacoma and 2 Corolla owner. He had not heard anything of the Tundra trouble (and also didn't believe me that there was a recall) at all but he also doesn't follow car stuff like I do. Lets not assume everyone knows about this which is shocking to me. He hasn't had the engine blow yet but he has had it towed once for check engine and rear diff issues as well as leaking seals on the rear windows. The fixes were obviously under warranty but he seems not too care at all about the potential engine failure, he said, if it fails, he will just get it fixed, doesn't care.

Current owner of a 2023 TRD Pro, 24k miles thus far incident free. 5th Toyota truck going back to my 1993 pickup. Love the new truck, hate the worry of will I be one of the unlucky ones. I am especially angry that the dealer/Toyota did not disclose the issue they were in the middle of trying to remedy when they sold me the truck. To me thats borderline fraud. I decided to wait it out for now until more information surfaces, I was close to trading it in but backed off given the cost hit. If my engine goes, no way I am accepting a short block rebuild - Heck, the toyota tech that changed my oil at 10k couldn't even put the skid plate back on correctly, forget about a rebuild of the engine. As for the replaced part, we don't know thats the fix, what if they changed the bearing somehow to make it easier to delineate if the metal in pan is really from the spun bearing failing for some other reason than "left over debris" from machining the block... Also of interest, I joined one of the larger 3rd gen Tundra Facebook forums, and twice when someone was asking about should they buy one, I put in a warning comment about the recall and suggested they wait it out, only to look back and discover the admin of the page deleted them! Final observation is the failures appear to be slowing down based on the add rate to the failed engine list being maintained on TundraForums....

Yeah I think the failure rate is slowing a bit, although some of that is due to forums deleting threads etc. :). Toyota is in full damage control mode.

That 5.6L titan we all (who doesn't forget nissan) , know that 5.6 is Reliable. Titan is legit the ONLY half ton, not having engine failure rates. Most everyone forgets about those trucks. Others compare them to their cars , which have CVT issues. These trucks don't have CVTs. I know you know this. But i hope people read this and consider the titan for a half ton before it's gone after this year. Consider the frontier for a mid size.
