Most common problems:

Oil consumption

Some users have reported higher than average oil consumption in the 2UR-GSE engine, which may require more frequent oil top-ups.

Fuel injector issues

The PORT+DIRECT injection system can sometimes lead to carbon buildup on intake valves, which can affect performance and fuel efficiency.

Timing chain tensioner problems

The timing chain tensioner in the 2UR-GSE engine may wear out prematurely, leading to a rattling noise and potential engine timing issues.

Overheating

Some instances of overheating have been reported, often due to issues with the cooling system components like the water pump or radiator.

Exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve failure

The EGR valve may clog or fail, causing rough idling, reduced performance, and increased emissions.

Knocking noise

A knocking or ticking noise from the engine can be caused by various issues, such as piston slap, worn bearings, or valve lifter problems.

Throttle body issues

Throttle body problems can lead to erratic idling, poor acceleration, and engine stalling.

Spark plug fouling

Spark plugs may foul more quickly than expected, leading to misfires and reduced engine performance.
