new tacoma not impressed, turbo, and battery

Or any VW/Audi.

 

My wife drives a 2016 Audi A6 3.0 supercharged: 198,000 miles. Routine maintenance, 100% zero issues.

 

Sounds like a unicorn. Every VW and Audi I have owned, and same with some relatives, all have had at least one issue related to electrical. Windows was one of them on several of the vehicles.

 

Are you German?

 

Not really. My BIL drives a 2015 A8; 216,000 miles. Had the dome light go out at 200,000 miles. No other issues.

 

100% American of German heritage.

 

Sidenote: Love this V8 beast ! Also like the new model Tundra but done so much to this 16 and it runs great with 84k miles now (bought 1owner used with 65k in Jan2021) that I figure why go in more debt. Let's see how long the inept V8 can last ?!

 

Certain model year Rav4 and NX hybrids have been recalled due to risk of fire.

 

At this point who doesn't have a model out there that has a recall for fire hazard. My MIL just got one on her Lincoln. Might be a badge of honor at this point.

 

Feel free to provide a link to the notices.

 

Lol look it up I don't drive one so I'm not worried about it. Owners will be notified, I think it was something to do with some charging moduel, so I guess it's the PHEV models. I don't recall it being a great number of vehicles.

 

Bat is right....PHEV models. https://www.azcentral.com/story/mon...ing 43,442 of,in an electrical short circuit.

 

I came up empty on my search before asking. Brand spanking new I see.

 

My sister bought a 2000 Audi A4 and then 2013 A4... both at 10k and 20k had turbo issues and electrical gremlins.

 

Zero issues with the superchargers in our Audis.

 

Thank You

 

I agree the bs crap of modern trucks with all the flex, comfort , sporty looks and MPG non sense lol... Its literal joke that my 23 Tacoma has plastic " chrome " bumper .... I didn't even thought it was plastic, I would never have but I accidently hit it and realized it was plastic crap.

I am a 4runner, Land Cruiser, Seq and Tacoma fan... BUT Tundra is worst big size truck literally. You could buy F250 or F350 in same price range with double of tow & carry capacity, size.. Tundra in my opinion is just not able to keep up with big US trucks with huge diesel engines even with Gasoline F250s and F350 are absolute monsters! Its insane how much those trucks can tow and HOW BIG they are. That's why Tacoma is better option! Unless you are a big man who needs a big truck.

Relevance?

But it's hybrid truck built and engineered by Toyota.
