Haven't seen anything about that. That isn't great either.
I had a 2000 Toyota for 13 years and never had any mechanical issues with it. The only thing I ever had to have done was replace tires, brakes, battery (once).
Keep in mind that generally only people with bad experiences take the time to post a review. Textbook self-selection bias.
Some. Not all. My mechanic says he can tell without looking at the label on the door which were made in Japan.
I don't think you're going to find any car manufacturer that doesn't have recalls.
Of course. The point is US Built Toyotas are really nothing new. Based on the above stats (and personal experience), I'd still take a Toyota (even one built in the US) over a Ford, Chrysler, Dodge, or GM.
But entire engines??!!!!???
I have a 2018 Canadian built Ford with 30,000 miles on it. Other than replacing the junky Hankook tires it came with, no issues. I traded in a Chevy we had for 31 years.
It used to be that all Toyota (and Lexus) with VIN numbers that started with a J were made in Japan. I’m not sure if that is still the case these days.
There is a sticker on the drivers door jam that states when and where the car was made and basic information like how much cargo it can carry.
I wouldn't expect ANY car with only 30k miles on it to have issues. DD is driving a 2007 Camry Hybrid (~125k(?) miles) that's doing well (knock on wood).
No kidding. No jinxes wanted. My first car was a 1974 Pinto. Had it 16 years. Outgrew it and the week we traded it in, my wife's car was in the shop, and our spare car was in the shop. The car we were getting rid of was the only one functioning property. I think that Pinto was trying to make the case for us not getting rid of it.
Time to get a 10mm wrench to keep in the car so you can easily remove the negative cable from the battery for a few minutes to force the car to reboot when it happens again.
