Wow, a company admitting quickly there are problems and fixing them. GM



If you imagine Toyota hasn't denied problems for years, even decades, before admitting to them then you are very much uninformed.

Is this the same engine in the Lexus GX 550?

“Yes”

Ah.

I don’t see any recalls on the Lexus so I guess those engines don’t have the debris issue like the Tundra’s.

SCOTUS has now said that the Administrative Branch of government is not there to pass laws. We have a congress for that. I bet the car companies could challenge this bullshite and have it tossed out.

STOP frickING AROUND WITH LOW CYLINDER TURBO ENGINES YOU IDIOTS!!!!!


Meh.. there's nothing wrong with them if they're built correctly.. Hell you'd think Toyota would be great at it considering they gave us the 2J which is arguably the best 6 cyl turbo engine ever put in a passenger vehicle

There are probably half a dozen inline 6's better than the 2JZ, even more if diesels are considered. Nothing wrong with them? You do know Toyota has engines that had serious problems that were never addressed with several engine models, some going for more than a decade while Toyota blames owners? I think I read a story recently where Toyota is denying warranty coverage for a engine because the owner was driving 85 mph.

Yet Ford has thousands upon thousands of blown ecoboost egines, and still refuses to admit they are a problem.



And their 10R80 10-speed transmission. They have 3 class action lawsuits on that transmission. Mine blew up at 55K miles.

Chevron ruling changed this. Just hasn’t come out yet. Let the litigations begin.
