Engine · reported Oct 2, 2026

My cylinder 2 misfired for the second time in less than 4 months and 4k miles after the first repair was done for the same issue. I have reason to believe the dealership (Glen Toyota of Fairlawn) that did the repairs the first time did not address the issue properly. This time at a different dealer (Paul Miller Toyota) they had found major issues along with low compression on all cylinders and engine bearing damage due to oil starvation. The oil starvation issue is a known issue with these engines. I did not feel safe driving this car and do not trust the engine that was manufactured. I felt…

Had my engine spin a bearing in 2023 and was told to report what had happened.

Saying it had hit the limiter 60 miles before the issue accrued and that it âover revved 13 rpmsâ and that since it had hit the limiter and being a stick shut it voided my warranty. Told me I would have to pay 26K for a new motor and if not to get my car out of there. They also refused to give me…

Vehicle experienced catastrophic engine failure while driving at 45mph. Inspection results from Toyota said the issue was a rod failure due to a spun bearing no cause ever determined by Toyota. Engine failure like this while in operation could lead to serious injury or death under the right circumstances. No engine lights to indicate prior problem and vehicle was serviced less than a month before incident occurred. Vehicle was under warranty but Toyota refused to honor the warranty. Oil starvation is the number one cause of spun bearing leading to engine failure Toyota didn't even consider…
