Problems:

Engine misfire
A common issue with V-shaped engines, misfires can occur due to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors, leading to rough idling and decreased performance.
Oil consumption
Some V6 engines, including those in luxury brands like Lexus, may experience higher than normal oil consumption due to worn piston rings or valve seals.
Timing chain issues
V6 engines can suffer from timing chain tensioner failures, leading to a rattling noise from the engine and potentially causing severe engine damage if not addressed.
Fuel system problems
With the combination of port and direct fuel injection, there can be carbon build-up on intake valves, which may lead to performance issues and rough idle.
Water pump failure
The water pump in some 2GR-FKS engines may fail prematurely, causing engine overheating and potentially leading to more severe engine damage if not replaced.
Exhaust system leaks
Exhaust leaks can occur at the manifold or other connection points, leading to increased noise and potential emissions issues.
Engine overheating
Due to potential cooling system issues, such as radiator or thermostat failures, which can lead to engine damage if not resolved.
