Known Issues for This Vehicle

Oil leaks

The 3GR-FSE engine is known for potential oil leaks, particularly from valve cover gaskets and camshaft seals. This can lead to oil dripping onto other engine components.

Carbon build-up

The direct injection system of the 3GR-FSE engine can cause carbon deposits to build up on the intake valves over time, affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Water pump failure

The water pump may wear out and fail, leading to overheating issues and potential engine damage if not addressed promptly.

Ignition coil failure

The ignition coils on the 3GR-FSE engine can fail, leading to misfires, rough idling, and reduced engine performance.

Timing chain tensioner issues

The timing chain tensioner may wear out or fail, causing rattling noises, poor engine performance, and in severe cases, engine damage if the timing chain skips teeth.

Fuel injector problems

The direct fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor fuel atomization, misfires, and a decrease in engine performance.
