Problems:

Oil leaks
Common in V8 engines like the 1UR-FE, oil leaks can occur from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or other seals.
Timing chain issues
The timing chain can stretch or the tensioners can fail, leading to rattling noises and potential engine damage.
Fuel injector problems
Dirty or failing fuel injectors can cause poor performance and reduced fuel economy.
Throttle body issues
A dirty or malfunctioning throttle body can cause rough idling, stalling, or poor acceleration.
Spark plug wear
Over time, spark plugs can wear out, leading to misfires, poor fuel efficiency, and engine performance issues.
Cooling system problems
Issues with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can lead to overheating, which is detrimental to engine health.
Intake manifold leaks
The gasket can fail, causing vacuum leaks that affect engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Camshaft problems
Wear or damage to the camshaft can cause engine performance issues and unusual noises.
Oxygen sensor failure
Faulty oxygen sensors can lead to incorrect fuel-air mixture, reducing efficiency and increasing emissions.
Mass air flow sensor issues
A failing MAF sensor can cause incorrect readings, leading to poor engine performance and stalling.

Problems:

Oil consumption
V8 engines like the 3UR-FBE can sometimes experience higher oil consumption, especially as they age.
Timing chain issues
Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, leading to potential engine performance problems.
Fuel injector problems
Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, causing poor engine performance or misfires.
Spark plug wear
Spark plugs in V8 engines can wear out faster, especially if the engine is subjected to heavy loads or extensive idling.
Cooling system failures
Issues with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can lead to engine overheating, particularly in V-shaped engines which can generate significant heat.
Vacuum leaks
These can cause rough idling, stalling, or decreased fuel efficiency.
Carbon build-up
Direct-injected engines like the 3UR-FBE can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, affecting performance.
Exhaust manifold leaks
Cracks or gasket failures in the exhaust manifold can result in reduced engine performance and increased noise.

Problems:

Oil leaks
The 3UR-FE engine is known to develop oil leaks over time, particularly from valve cover gaskets and timing cover gaskets.
Excessive oil consumption
Some owners report higher-than-expected oil consumption, which can be due to piston ring wear or valve stem seal issues.
Timing chain noise
The timing chain tensioners can wear out, causing a rattling noise, especially during startup.
Fuel injector issues
Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to rough idling and poor engine performance.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The exhaust manifolds on this engine can develop cracks, causing exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.
Spark plug failure
Spark plugs may wear out prematurely, leading to misfires and reduced engine efficiency.
Knock sensor problems
Faulty knock sensors can cause the engine to run poorly and trigger the check engine light.
Cooling system leaks
Radiator and water pump leaks can occur, leading to overheating issues.
Throttle body malfunction
Throttle body issues can cause erratic idling and throttle response problems.
Camshaft position sensor failure
A failing camshaft position sensor can cause the engine to stall or run inconsistently.
