Toyota has some problems

[p123456789]

has anyone here bashing domestics ever owned one? I've had jeeps since I was 18 and I've never had a major repair the 4.0 engine is bullet proof the aw4 transmission (toyota tacoma trans) is bullet proof I've had to rebuilt a couple rearends but other than that its been gaskets and belts. the first week I had my yaris I had to rebuild the transmission the input shaft seal was leaking requiring complete tear down of the trans. I think honda builds some of the poorest quality cars out of all the japanese cars, endless automatic transmission problems seat frames constantly breaking motor mounts and stuts contantly going out. Domestic car companies have made some the most iconic cars and trucks some of them not reliable but not as bad as everyone thinks, as a technician I think gm ford and toyota are on the same level as far as quality gm and ford are styled alot nicer than toyotas line up. Toyota is getting left in the dust in the gas mileage and style department. My point is not all imports are the best thing sliced bread and not all domestics are super unreliable, every car line has that car thats a lemon even toyota.

well said.

we had a 92 and 93 topaz growing up that never had issues (except that the a/c eventually stopped working in them)

also had a 2000 and a pair of 2003 v6 malibu's.....my parents still have one of them....no major issues with those cars either.

my father had an 06 sierra until last year and never had a problem with it, either.

from MY experience, domestic cars are just as reliable has japanese cars.
