Why is anyone even responding to this bot thread? This is not a real person. 100% made in Japan means just that. 100% made in Japan. This is not up for debate.
Very weird thread overall.

Well it's not technically 100% made in the Japan, look at the backside of your OEM wheels. Made in China! I'm sure there are some other items not made but sourced in Japan, but yes all the safety and reliability critical items are Made in Japan.
My ‘24 with 19k miles has suffered some sort of catastrophic engine failure with loss of power, misfires, and they found cylinder wall scoring in #4. Parts still on order and it has been in the shop since mid September.
Cause still unknown (or at least not being related to me).

Sorry to hear this. Are you in the new survey on the forum?...I still think its gremlins................
Mine don't say made in China. But yeah, the tires are made in Thailand. I think tire/wheel packages are a different category from what is referenced on the sticker. However, by any reasonable definition, the car is made in Japan.
I am
When the engine failed did the vehicle still drive under electric power? For example could you safely pull off the road after the problem?
Many of us believe this is reasoning there is no recall on the V6 hybrids.
I would say they watch the more known/popular vehicles forums daily, we had a person and forum owner get a cease desist letter threatening law suits if information was not removed, it was on the Tundras page, they were posting stuff from Toyota Information System (TIS) and some other Toyota proprietary information.
Thats why I will not post maintenance task directions on here, even though I have downloaded majority of what I need to work on mine from TIS.
They do watch, you would figure they would have better things to do.
The engine ran like crap and had reduced power but did not completely stop.
A new motor is usually not a bad thing. Once a tech has done one, it is pretty plug and play. Good luck
My fear is that my problem was not an isolated fluke and that this is part of a bigger problem that has not fully come to light.
I’m scared that once I get this back, I might have another issue in the future
Fear based on what? I mean, I could fear many things but none of it rooted in factual reality. Not trying to be rude, just saying your fears aren’t based on any facts. It’s just as likely that you will have an entirely different failure of a different nature and no failure at all. .
With what is going on with Toyota these days, I wouldn’t say my fear is not rooted in reality. Knowing of widespread Toyota engine problems in other platforms and being directly aware of a few other engine failures under the same circumstances is what causes my fear.
I do think that I have finally made a decision to trust in Toyota though so
It’s really hard to know from the internet. People with problems are far more likely to post them than people without. So hard to separate typical manufacturing failures from systemic problems. I’m over 20,000 miles on a 2024 FE with no problems at all. Whether that’s indicative, I can’t say.With what is going on with Toyota these days, I wouldn’t say my fear is not rooted in reality.

Just cautious. Just spooked. Toyota has had some problems lately which isn’t up for debate. But they have historically been as good as you get.
20k is nothing. Tell me you have 100k and you have been towing in Colorado, and then we have something!

In fairness, I won’t ever tow. And I am in Texas. I have done a far amount of overlanding in Big Bend and the trans-pecos and quite a bit of ranch road/rocky hill driving while hunting in the hill country and west Texas. It stays dirty (due to my use pattern) and performs as well as a jeep or a mule for my purposes (better than my old Z71) and does well on the road. But I am a tent camper, not an RV camper.Just cautious. Just spooked. Toyota has had some problems lately which isn’t up for debate. But they have historically been as good as you get.

I spoke with a long time Toyota mechanic yesterday and he explained his theory on what went wrong. His explanation made sense to me and it provides me some confidence in the problem getting resolved.
I don’t mean to be mysterious by not saying what his theory is, just saving myself some grief. I mentioned on another thread that I was aware of other lemon law buybacks and other failures and a few people got all wound up about it since I was not prepared to divulge names and sources.

I hope it works out for you, best of luck.
