Warning About Toyota Cars


Recommended Posts

  • 3 weeks later...
i own a toyota rav4, after all this years it still drives very well pero may kalampag pa siya. the engine doesn't give me much problems.

 

off-topic: my friend bought a suzuki swift and after two weeks nasira ung computer box while he was driving in edsa. nawala lang bigla control ng kotse niya. ung ceo ng suzuki galing sa Japan inamin na factory defect ung nangyari so willing siya magbigay ng dalawang swift na upgraded lahat ng parts para lang di tuloy nung kaibigan ko ung demanda. binenta na niya ung mga swift, wala kasing kwenta ung kotse na un. he now drives a sylvia.

Swerte pa rin friend mo at hindi siya nadisgraysa. Pinalitan pa ng dalawang kotse. :thumbsupsmiley:

All my cars today are Toyotas (Altis, Hiace, Corona, Corolla, Vios). Never had problems with them. My previous Nissans (Sentra, Cefiro) and Mitsubishis (Lancer and Pajero) had relatively more problems so I disposed of all of them. Maybe I'm just lucky.

 

But I do agree that Toyota Quezon Ave service sucks.

Been buying toyotas since i was 18 and im now 37. No problems. I use syntetic oil and change every 15t to 20t kms.

 

Now, my 2005 camry has clocked 50t kms. HAve i experienced any problems? No

 

Will i experience any problems? Dont think so

 

No noise, smooth ride, very quiet and powerful engine, leather interiors. etc.

 

Soon, ill get a late model Camry again.

 

Im sick of bmw's, benzes, VW, and audi's that i had lots and lots of problems with when i was still working in the automotive industry. The prices of their parts are crazy expensive and you would think that they should be extremely reliable. Tsk tsk.

 

Toyota is number 1 worldwide for a reason and thats not by building a lot of problematic vehicles.

Cant believe that this is true. I owned one Toyota Corolla GLi 1991 model before and has used it for 6 years I never encountered problem. Now my 1999 Corolla XL is still running with very minimal headaches. Pa-change oil change oil lang ayus na buto buto. Ipinamana na nga sa eldest ko hopefully it will last for another 10 years. Buti na lang I always check the oil level regularly kaya di natutuyuan. I think it boils down to regular check up to lessen headaches later on. Im planning to buy one Toyota Corolla again. Pero baka Vios na lang kasi who needs big cars? Dalawa na lang kami ni misis.

I currently drive a toyota, and it has not given me any problems so far. I also have a mitsubishi as well as an isuzu and these have not given me any major headaches whatsoever. I guess it boils down to proper maintenance. Ironically, my first car (highschool during the 80's ) was a toyota starlet, this was later heavily modified but it was still a reliable daily driver, although it became a real gas guzzler. I firmly believe that japanese cars a reliable choice, it's just a matter of regular maintenance and preventive maintenance.

my first car was a '88 toyota celica....it has a 3sfe engine its the same engine as a corolla 2.0 ...since i was only 17 i had no idea i was running the car with super low oil...i'd be driving it and it would just stall.....

so after a couple of stalls i decided to check d oil....it was super low...I put some oil in it and never had a problem with it...

 

i was a rekless teenager got in a couple accidents with that toyota saved my life too....rain sleet or snow that toyota was very reliable....in the end the transmission gave out because we were shifting gears without using the clutch....

Toyota Toyota

 

had a mighty lancru (the mighty hardtop na pinamana saken at pinamana ko rin)

then had a 78 corolla 4 door

then had a 79 corona 4 door and an 83 celica (gas guzzler with a 2.4 liter engine)

tapos nag civic hatchback ( sana di ko binenta SAYANG)

tapos nag sentra fe

now driving a vios 1.5

 

ang mahal ng maintenance ng honda & nissan

 

in the end it's still Toyota for me.

 

vios since 2004 and just got the 09 vios both 1.5 G

 

ang sa akin lang is be religious when it comes to the regular periodic maintenance schedule and your car won't give you problems. if you ain't got the luxury of time --- go for synthetic oil

 

just my five centavos worth

 

as far as service is concerned, i'd still go for Toyota Makati, Inc. (Kudos)

i agree... tatagal ang sasakyan kapag regular ang PMS (regardless of brand)

magastos pero prevention is better than cure

parehas tayo bumili lang din kami ng vios 1.5g... ganda ng power to rate ratio.

 

toyota marikina naman kami nagpapaservice... ok dun kasi pwede mo lapitan auto mo at kausapin yung service mechanic, para alam mo mga sakit/problema ng sasakyan

maybe the newer cars but our family uses only the old Toyota vehicles presumably the old Hilux and Landcruisers.. a workhorse and has served us well

 

true, the periodic maintenance is necessary like any vehicles do but the secret lies on knowing your vehicle also and how you can troubleshoot the problem early on before it can cause more damage
