No major engine trouble for me yet. I did have low idle once, apparently that was an issue and it struggled to get back up in the RPM's while idling but that only happened once. |
None of those, aside from the wheel studs (which I think has more to do with people choosing wheels that weren’t meant for the car) are anything bad at all.
My 2016 needed to have the dash fix done above the center vent. I think it was done anyway, you can see where it was pinched in place. Haven’t had the issue with the plastic piece near the defogger switch. Haven’t had any bumper sag issue. Again I think that is probably due to people removing and reinstalling their bumper cover/and or hitting the cover on parking curbs, etc. So basically user error. I’ve had the low idle issue, but only with the AC on and sitting at a stop. It’s never stalled, it just feels weird. And I’m used to it now. [emoji1]
To my knowledge the valve spring recall was voluntary except in Kalifornia (big surprise), and an extremely small number of cars had any major issues. Mostly caused by actually getting the recall done, ironically. It all happened within the bumper to bumper warranty period.
I would buy a first year of the 2nd gen car in a heartbeat. I’ve owned several first year Toyotas and a first year Subaru, and I never had any problems.
