Do you think these refreshed parts will fix the Tundra engine? Are you surprised how well they are selling despite the recall?

[SarahnTuned]

When you put a time limit or pay flat-rate on rebuilding anything complex on a vehicle, especially an engine, it will never end good.

[Jaredius]

They’re selling because the dealer pricing has dropped down below MSRP and the majority of buyers have no clue about these issues.

[theschiznit]

Not knocking the techs but the chances that they will put those engines back together to factory specs are pretty slim.

[cpftank]

The high sales rates are because they’re discounting them so much. Because most consumers don’t research before buying, they unknowingly buy it.

Toyota died when Akio Toyoda resigned.

98% of the "dealer technicians " are not trained for a job like rebuilding a engine. There it goes all the precision made posible at the factory. Now you will have 55 more points of failure.

Trust has broken with toyota. They can refresh it all they want. Would not touch their turbo charged offerings. Theyre doing people absolutely dirty having their brand new truck taken completely apart and reassembled by underpaid techs.

I bet less than 1% of the Tundra owners (or any car for that matter) actually go on forums or do research regarding vehicle recalls, etc. which explains why this is still selling like it is.

I would absolutely not even touch any Toyota / Lexus with the V35A engine until 2025. Its too much of a risk. When the dust settles many many thousands of vehicles with these engines will be junk.

The Car Care Nut is the absolute best!

[mike]

This is going to be VERY fucking bad for customers if Toyota is not going to properly compensate technicians, I know the car care nut mentioned this in his video but Toyota is playing with fire

[brettster]

I think Toyota needs to replace the entire engines, wit so much of the engine operation controlled with oil pressure, ie, variable valve timing etc, any metal working through the system will clog or damage other components besides the short block. This is my thoughts and opinion only on this issue.

An engine builder is so much different than an automotive technician.

[CGGarage]

I'm amazed at how they don't install crate engines from factory, they just rebuild the broken ones. I feel some major problems incoming. Ouch.

[RedWingsninetyone]

"Never buy the first model year (or two) of anything." I've said it dozens of times. I trust Toyota to fix the issue. Their reputation for reliability means a lot to them and people often forget that reputation means a lot to any of these companies.

[jessielaxton]

As a retired Toyota tech I’ve been thru several recalls on there vehicles mainly the 3.0 v-6 head gasket recall I can tell you this from experience they will fix this problem what ever it takes it will be at the technician cost but it will be fixed they stand behind there products better than a lot of other manufacturers if they know there is an issue with it the 60k warranty is out the door they will usually fix it no matter the mileage I worked as a tech for 22 years and seen them pay warranty claims the big 3 would laugh at you about so all I ask is to be patient in my honest opinion the story’s about other dealerships not taking them in on trade are just them trying to hurt Toyota reputation they know the truck will be fixed

[Danzilly]

Quit giving parts and have a whole new block and bearings.

[alxra]

Either the new sales are to 1) customers who are still ignorant of the engine failures/problems, or 2) Customers are willing to take a chance, considering they're being offered the biggest discounts they've seen on a tundra in decades.

I just sold my 23 with 22k miles. Not taking any chances.
