Problems:

Oil consumption
The Toyota 1UR-FSE engine, like many V8 engines, can sometimes experience higher oil consumption due to wear and tear or issues with piston rings.
Timing chain noise
The V-shaped 1UR-FSE engine can sometimes develop a rattling noise from the timing chain, which may indicate a need for tensioner or guide replacement.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines, such as the 1UR-FSE, can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.
Misfiring
Issues with the ignition coils or spark plugs can cause misfiring, which is common in V8 engines and can lead to rough idling or reduced power.
Coolant leaks
The V8 configuration can sometimes lead to coolant leaks at the head gasket or other connections, which can cause overheating and engine damage if not addressed.
Fuel injector problems
The direct fuel injection system on the 1UR-FSE may experience clogging or failure, leading to poor fuel economy and performance issues.
Camshaft wear
The camshaft in the 1UR-FSE can wear over time, leading to reduced performance and potentially more severe engine damage if not addressed.
