Problems:

Engine misfires
Misfires can be caused by faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors. This can result in poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Oil leaks
Common in V-shaped engines, oil leaks can occur due to worn gaskets, seals, or oil pan issues. This can lead to low oil levels and potential engine damage.
Fuel system issues
Problems with the fuel injection system, such as clogged injectors or a faulty fuel pump, can affect engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Overheating
The V35A-FTS engine may experience overheating due to issues with the cooling system, such as a malfunctioning radiator, water pump, or thermostat.
Check engine light activation
Various sensor failures (oxygen sensor, mass air flow sensor, etc.) or emissions-related issues can trigger the check engine light.
Turbocharger problems
As a turbocharged engine, the V35A-FTS may encounter issues with the turbocharger, such as boost pressure loss, oil contamination, or turbo lag.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain may stretch or wear out, leading to poor engine timing and performance issues.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines like the V35A-FTS can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.
Battery and electrical issues
Modern engines with multiple electronic components can experience battery drain or electrical issues, affecting engine start and operation.
Exhaust system problems
Issues such as exhaust leaks, faulty catalytic converters, or muffler problems can affect engine performance and emissions.
TOYOTA Sequoia 2023

The 2023 Toyota multipurpose passenger vehicle (MPV) is a robust 4WD/4x4 model equipped with a 3.4L V35A-FTS, 1TM engine delivering 389 hp. It features advanced safety technologies like Dynamic Brake Support (DBS), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), and Rear Automatic Emergency Braking. Comfortably seating 7/8 passengers across three rows, this vehicle also boasts a hybrid electric system with a Nickel-Metal-Hydride battery. Built in San Antonio, Texas, it comes with a comprehensive suite of driver-assist features including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Blind Spot Warning (BSW).

Other Engine Info
PORT+DIRECT

Problems:

Engine overheating
V-shaped engines, like the V35A-FTS in the 2023 Toyota Sequoia, can sometimes overheat due to their compact design, which may restrict airflow and cooling.
Turbocharger issues
The "PORT+DIRECT" fuel injection system and turbocharging in the V35A-FTS can lead to turbo lag or failure if not properly maintained.
Complexity of maintenance
The combination of port and direct fuel injection systems increases the complexity of maintenance and potential repair costs.
Valve carbon build-up
Direct injection engines are prone to carbon build-up on intake valves, which can affect performance and efficiency over time.
Engine knock
High-performance engines like the V35A-FTS may experience engine knock, especially if lower-octane fuel is used.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain in V-shaped engines can wear out, leading to potential engine timing issues and costly repairs.
Fuel efficiency
High horsepower engines like the V35A-FTS can be less fuel-efficient, leading to higher fuel costs.
Turbo lag
The presence of a turbocharger can sometimes result in a delay in power delivery, known as turbo lag.
Electronic system failures
Modern engines with advanced electronic systems, like the DBS in the 2023 Sequoia, can experience sensor or software malfunctions.
Exhaust system problems
High-performance engines can put extra strain on the exhaust system, leading to potential failures or increased emissions.
