It looks like Toyota has another safety recall regarding some Tundras, Sequoias and Lexus LX 600's:
280,000 Toyotas Recalled
280,000 Toyotas Recalled
People think software is easy. It's not.
I am not up on newer ICE vehicles, but it does seem like the new Tundras are not as reliable as my old 2001.My take is that people think Toyota is better built, but it's not. This is just more proof.
What Toyota does is build really old platforms with new parts and when you do that long enough your average vehicle becomes better when all the bugs are finally worked out.
If you buy a newly designed Toyota you get the same issues as everyone else.
The latest Tundra is proof of this as well.
Modern Toyotas and Hondas are overhyped and overpriced. Then again, what isn't these days?Ah, this is an improvement. In 2017, they had an astonishing amount of issues with Aisin 8 speed in Highlander and Sienna AWD, and they never recalled them. My friend was 36 or 38 times at a dealer with Highlander, and they never wanted to replace the transmission; they were trying to resolve issues with the software, claiming the transmission was ok. Then he lost patience and said: how about trade, and they calculated trade, minus BAD transmission. He traded it for, hear this out, Chrysler.
