Problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction
Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) systems can occasionally fail due to sensor issues or software glitches, leading to reduced braking efficiency.
Oil consumption
The 2GR-FKS engine may sometimes consume more oil than expected, requiring frequent oil level checks and top-offs.
Carbon buildup
The PORT+DIRECT fuel injection system can lead to carbon buildup on intake valves over time, potentially causing rough idling and reduced performance.
Timing chain tensioner
The timing chain tensioner in the 2GR-FKS engine can sometimes fail, causing a rattling noise and potentially leading to more severe engine damage if not addressed.
Cooling system leaks
The V-shaped configuration can contribute to cooling system leaks, particularly around the water pump area.
Fuel pump failure
Some models experience premature fuel pump failure, leading to stalling or difficulty starting the engine.
Transmission shifting issues
The 2021 Toyota Tacoma has been reported to have occasional transmission shifting issues, which can result in a rough or delayed gear change.
Throttle response lag
There can be a noticeable lag in throttle response, which may affect acceleration and overall driving experience.
Injector failures
Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, causing misfires, rough idling, and decreased fuel efficiency.
Exhaust manifold cracks
In some cases, the exhaust manifold can develop cracks, leading to exhaust leaks and potentially affecting emissions performance.

Problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) issues
Problems with the DBS system can include failure to activate during emergency braking, false activation, or software glitches that may require an update or reconfiguration.
Excessive engine noise
A V-shaped engine with 6 cylinders, like the V35A-FTS, can sometimes produce excessive noise due to worn-out components, improper lubrication, or exhaust system issues.
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines are prone to oil leaks, which can stem from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or other seals and gaskets wearing out over time.
Turbocharger problems
The V35A-FTS engine (often turbocharged) may experience issues like turbo lag, reduced power output, or turbo failure due to wear and tear or insufficient maintenance.
Cooling system failures
Complex V-shaped engines can suffer from cooling system issues such as radiator leaks, thermostat failures, or water pump malfunctions, leading to overheating.
Fuel system issues
Engines with both port and direct fuel injection systems might encounter fuel delivery problems, injector clogging, or high-pressure fuel pump failures.
Ignition system malfunctions
Problems such as misfires, poor starting, or rough idling can occur due to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or wiring issues.
Timing chain/belt problems
Timing components in V-shaped engines can wear out, leading to stretched chains or belts, which can cause poor engine performance or even engine damage.
Emission control system failures
Issues with the catalytic converter, EGR valve, or oxygen sensors can lead to increased emissions and potential failure to meet regulatory standards.
Sensor and electronic issues
Modern engines like the V35A-FTS rely heavily on electronic sensors and control units, which can fail or produce erroneous readings, affecting overall engine performance.

Problems:

Engine misfire
Misfires can occur due to issues with the spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors, which are common in V-shaped engines.
Excessive oil consumption
V-shaped engines, especially with higher horsepower, can sometimes consume more oil than expected due to wear and tear on internal components.
Timing chain issues
V-shaped engines with complex configurations like the 8GR-FXS might experience timing chain problems, leading to poor engine performance.
Fuel injector problems
Direct and port fuel injection systems can develop issues with clogged injectors, affecting engine efficiency and performance.
Overheating
High-performance engines like those in the Lexus LC can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is not properly maintained.
Engine knocking
This can occur due to improper fuel or timing issues, often exacerbated in high-compression engines like the one in the 2018 Lexus LC.
Exhaust system issues
V-shaped engines can develop exhaust manifold cracks or gasket failures, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced performance.
Sensor failures
Modern engines rely heavily on sensors for efficient operation; failures in oxygen sensors, MAF sensors, or others can cause significant performance issues.
