The 2GR-FE engine is known to have issues with oil leaks, particularly from the timing cover gasket, which can lead to reduced engine performance and potential engine damage if not addressed.
Water pump failure
The water pump on this engine model has been reported to fail prematurely, which can cause overheating and potentially severe engine damage if the cooling system is compromised.
Excessive oil consumption
