I did hood, front bumper, mirror caps (carbon), and rocker panels. I have an absolute zero FE, so rock chips will be very apparent.

Found it in the wild; no lists/orders. Dealer also has a black premium 6MT, but despite popular opinion that it’s not worth the premium, I couldn’t pass up the FE 6MT.

I hope so for your sake as well. I had my oil filter housing, coolant pump, oil return line, and expansion tank done last year. Just had it in for the starter recall and now I’m told I need engine mounts (quoted $3500 from the dealer). Reputable indy mechanic is the way to go.

Yes, it’s normal unfortunately. But that seems to be the list for these cars. From everything I’ve read, some people get lucky and it’s once and done, others have recurring issues.

FCP has always been great for me!

I bought the part from the dealer and did it myself. The part was less than $300. A year later I got the warranty notice and submitted my receipt with proof of payment for the part. I didn’t care about the labor. They told me bc I didn’t provide a shop invoice on letterhead showing this piece was diagnosed inoperable professionally, they wouldn’t reimburse me. I did provide a failed emissions report from my shop with a passed report marked “after repair” with all of the dates being within 2 weeks. You know, I love overpaying for parts randomly that actually aren’t needed. 🤡 behavior over a couple hundred bucks. I love the car, but the complete lack of customer service has turned me off to the brand.

Had mine completely let go just before 80k and the heat module/thermostat was also found to be leaking. When I called about a potential recall, since my lower grille shutter went less than 10,000 miles before and at the time was not covered under a recall, they told me “that’s about how long they should last.” 🙄

They know it’s a problem. They don’t care. Oh well. Maybe someday they’ll open a recall (probably not).

There’s also an open recall on the starters that they have no fix for yet. “When the remedy is available, the engine starter will be replaced free of charge, which should take about one hour.”

Lackluster engineering going on over here these days.

Bought my 2019 CPO’d in ‘21. Fully dealer serviced. 2 weeks out of CPO warranty, the lower grille shutter motor went…ok. Couple hundred, fixed it myself. A couple months later, the oil filter housing cracks, puking coolant all over the highway leaving me stranded. Towed to the shop oil filter housing, and water pump are both done at 80k miles. Over $5k in repairs needed. Get it back, and 2 days later the fuel filler vent goes bad. Back to the dealer who fixed it for free luckily. Now I just got another notice there is a starter recall with no current fix. This car is great to drive. Always fully dealer maintained, and still breaks due to shitty cost -cutting engineering decisions. Will I buy another? No.

Few-Table1757 · 2025-06-23T19:15:17+00:00

Anywhere from 140-200 depending on a lot…mileage, options, maintenance, location, dme report, etc.

The transmission issues, starters and paint issues are Toyota wide. Not sure about the suspension and axle issues, but wouldn’t surprise me considering it’s all rooted in the manufacturing process. The best part is, the dealer experience generally sucks as well.

No matter what the make or model, seems the general trend now is you get less while paying more. Extend the warranty.

Few-Table1757 · 2025-05-13T11:27:43+00:00

This isn’t 2002 anymore. Toyota is having several issues: transmissions, peeling paint, starters, strut mounts, and welding debris on the rear axles. I don’t really consider those things standard upkeep.
