I loved my truck...

You should have gone with the Tacoma, would have had an entire different list of issues. Go check out there forum, they are plagued with problems too, many wishing they never got their 3rd gen or waiting a few years to see if the issues get fixed.

 

All manufacturers are having issues, there is so much technology in these things and they are so much quieter that you can now hear and feel any little thing regardless of how small it is. Things that have probably been going on for decades are now being amplified. Not to mention all the technology is causing headaches. People crying about vehicles because their phones sometimes have issues connecting or degrading the quality because it may have an electrical gremlin.

 

Sorry you are having those problems (pretty minor) but the grass is in no way greener on the other side for any manufacturer. Toyota has fallen a way from the grace they used to be held too...

This is very true. The stock rancho suspension even gives the impression of being smoother when the radio is up. Doesn't feel nearly is bad if you can't hear the thuds.

I agree to an extent. Toyota quality isn't as good as it used to be, that's for sure. My dad's been a mechanic for 35 years and has been a loyal Toyota fan forever, and he says the same thing. With that being said, I think they have by far less issues than American vehicles.

There's a reason that the luxury car brands are always rated the lowest in reliability. The more gizmos and gadgets you put in a car the more things that can go wrong and therefor the more things that WILL go wrong. Trucks these days are luxury vehicles in truck form, and especially if they're used like a truck things are going to break, or connections are going to come loose or get soiled with dirt and mud and water etc.

Think I'll argue the luxury cars are unreliable point. While some may be, I've read that Lexus is on the top of the reliable list.

Ya, but when something does break it cost way more just for a part let alone if you get the dealer to fix it. A lot of parts for luxury or just expensive vehicles you can only get from the dealer and you know the dealer will screw you on the price.

I can deal with most of my small issues. The Chevy shake and steering wheel shake is what's driving me crazy.

Fortunately I've never had those issues

Ok I mostly was referring to the nazi cars like BMW Audi etc

[StillOffshore]

Haha...those pesky nazis...they make shitty products in the hopes that non-aryans will get stuck on the side of the road.

 

I'm with you on the whole thing...more electronics, more expensive issues down the road.

 

I think most of those reliability lists are done by survey...people aren't necessarily being truthful when asked how reliable their vehicle is...or, they may turn non-issues into major reliability issues. Seen that a few times.

Put 31k on a 2014 Sierra, zero issues except the headlights being a POS, 15k on my 16 Silverado and zero issues.

Nice. Don't get me wrong, I like the truck. Just these small issues make it hard to keep liking it. Anything over 70 and its miserable.

My pops thinks the same thing. Hopefully I get some time to take it in soon.
