While it sucks some people are going through this, the vast majority of FA20 engines are holding up well.
There seems to be a common theme. Either 1) they are boosted and either A) the tune is bad or B) something physical was done incorrectly in the install 2) The ones popping N/A have had niggling problems from brand new untill eventually they pop. I'm yet to hear of a perfect running motor just suddenly pop out of nowhere at say 20k miles. Good luck to those getting warranties |

16k miles
Completely stock Last oil change at 7500 Drove it pretty hard but have lots of experience with driving fast cars, viper, cts-v so im not a dumbass Was is cruise control in 5th gear going 55, engine sort of stalled out then engine went. Smoke dumped out of hood and exhaust. Threw it in neutral and coasted to a stop. Blew a rod and sent my cylinder through the head. got full warranty because last snal taken was at a high gear and low rpm. Toyota tech came in and looked and it and saod the cat was driven extremely hard blah blah blah and there was supposably tons of metal in the engine. Waitin on complete new engine rebuilt and the techs told me i has the first engine failure in the U.S. Lol Gonna be scared to drive it hard after the replacement but as you all know it isnt any fun below 4k rpm.

So my new short block is in the car and they're planning to have it ready by Tuesday.
What failed: The dealership never really did much diagnosis beyond finding some metal in the oil pan. They just went ahead and ordered a new block after that. Mileage: 38,000 How it failed: Seemed like a spun bearing to me based on the symptoms Circumstances when it went out- slow and gradual or just boom: I didn't let it get to the point of seizing or going boom, but the rattle came without warning. Results of warranty claim: Covered under warranty modifications to the car, use of the car: TRD exhaust, daily driver, no competition Last oil change: A week before failure. Before that, 5,000 miles prior (my dealership will not change it on a 5,000 mile interval with my maintenance plan. They say Toyota has these cars listed as 7,500 between changes. I have been paying for additional oil changes between their interval). List of services performed: Re-torque axle nut, Tail lamp assembly replaced (both), new pilot bushing, ignition coil #1 replaced, new fuse block and engine harness One accident a year ago. Kid backed into my car at a stoplight. 7,100.00 in parts. 3,300.00 in labor.

Oh oh oh . So the funny part was when they almost accused me of over revving then saw it was an AT. He was kinda just, "uh...well. Ok I'll call Toyota and get back to you." |

Curious about the coil and harness issue? Was it related to something else? you have a thread on it? As opposed to a head problem, a bad coil or not 100% coil rather would make more sense for the rough running that my car was doing before. Goofy idle, sounded.... excessively "burbly" in the midrange. I know that's a character of the car, but this is compared to the first motor. I hope #3 is perfect. Because if it isn't, seriously- I'm calling a lemmon law attorney. I just can't take it anymore. The car has been down for MONTHS in for service. It's ridiculous. Not to mention the diminished value long term having to explain paperwork of THREE motors to a potential buyer, even covered under warranty, they're going to think it was abused. |

Once they lost that battle, they then turned to my suspension modifications and assumed it was raced. Fun times. PS- If I come across as bitter about this, you're damn right I am. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

The coil was some unrelated problem. The fuse block and harness was part of the accident. Fuse box got hit so it needed replacement along with the attached harness. My warranty is 7 yrs, 100,000 miles. I grabbed the extension when I bought the car since I didn't plan to mod it much. Honestly, I'm still on the fence about selling it and buying an E92 M3. I mean, if it's going to be in the shop as often as a 400+HP BMW, then I may as well be driving one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
