Most common problems:

Brake system malfunction

Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) can sometimes malfunction due to software issues or sensor failures, leading to decreased braking efficiency.

Engine overheating

The V-shaped engine configuration with 8 cylinders can generate significant heat, which might cause overheating issues if the cooling system is not properly maintained.

Power loss

The 2UR-GSE engine model may experience power loss due to issues such as fuel injector problems or carbon buildup in the intake valves.

Engine knock

High-performance engines like the 2UR-GSE with 471 hp can be susceptible to engine knocking, which is often caused by using the wrong fuel type or octane rating.

Complex maintenance

The PORT+ DIRECT fuel injection system requires precise maintenance and can be challenging to service, potentially leading to increased maintenance costs.

Oil consumption

V8 engines are known to consume more oil, and if not monitored, this can lead to low oil levels and potential engine damage.
