How many defect repairs have you had under warranty (not aftermarket related)

I'm beginning to question Toyota's reliability... My 2008 has had three repairs that needed done under warranty within the two years that I've owned it. I had a Dodge SRT-4 and had ZERO repairs over the same time frame... both were new. I've had Honda's too with no problems. Considering the bad reliability rep that Dodge gets whereas Toyota has good rep (until recently)... its just weird. Maybe I just have a defect prone truck...

1: Blown axle seal
2. Blown Axle seal again... with damage to axle and front differential
3. Throw out bearing

not to mention the heavy load TSB and tailgate TSB

its a little ridiculous... btw I have 31K on the odo

just curious about who else has had several defect related repairs...

not caused by aftermarket parts or offroading

 

Nothing wrong whatsoever on my '10 with 7K on it.

 

Toyota's quality and reliability has dropped, and that's not from my mouth but from the mouth of Mr. Toyoda from Japan.

 

give it time... maybe I got a bad batch though

 

05

squeeky clutch pedal that was super annoying
tailgate bent from loading a motorbike. it's been redesigned for strength, but warranty didn't cover it so i need a new one

 

Don't jinx it...

 

oh yeah I forgot I have the squeaky pedal too... I guess I've gotten use to that

 

'08 just the suspension TSB so far, fingers crossed...

 

I saw those hearings too... just sad because I bought a Toyota partially for their reliability rep...

 

+1 after my tailgate went out i was so pissed and disappointed in their workmanship and customer service. i expected them to replace a weak part. now i gotta blow $550 on a new tailgate and paint it myself. it's gonna have to wait though cuz it's not in the budget right now, and not necessary.
i could buy a used one but i'd have to know it came from a newer taco, otherwise i might just be buying another weak part.

 

I had to do the whole radio replacement thing on my '09, and the dealer still refuses to do the tranny TSB even though multiple people have ridden in my truck and agree it shifts weird. I guess that issue is more dealer-related than Toyota. Also have a couple rattles.

I think the dependability (engine, other mechanicals, getting me from place to place) is still there, but the attention to detail and fit and finish has definitely deteriorated. Still a very good truck.

 

09 Tacoma, I had the valve cover gasket replaced at 4k, Subwoofer replaced, and just recently had the headlights replace because they were peeling.
Did do all the TSB's...Add a leaf, steering column.

 

cv boot exploded,rear axle replaced,throw out bearing!!!!!!,lost a bed pocket

 

ive only had the clutch squeak. got it fixed once. and it came back. to lazy to get it fixed again just for it to come back again.

 

on my '09, I had to replace throw-out bearing at 40K kilometers

 

05. No problems yet that aren't aftermarket related.

 

On my 07 I had the intermittant start tsb done and a tail light bulb replaced.

 

belt tensioner failing but I can't say if it was from wheeling or not as dirt/mud may have caused it.

 

i had a powersteering pump replaced at 30000, a throught bearing and a wheel bearing at 40000. The leafs squeek from time to time along with the clutch pedal.

 

See my sig.
Bone stock truck, treated the same as my last 6 trucks.
It's a truck designed to be used lightly, or heed all the Fanboy warnings about how everything I have always done with my trucks, is abuse, now that I have a Toyota. SICKENING.
I suppose abuse broke my stereo, blower fan, wiper motor, and caused my 4WD to never have worked properly. Or the alternator only putting out 13.5 volts.
Toyota is slipping, and I will not buy another. My wife is sick of taking HER daily driver, (I only use it on weekends) in every couple months for this BS.
Did I mention my rearview mirror was falling off? Cripes
