List of Toyota D4D Probems (Choking, Hard Starting, etc.)

[fireblade]

Our 8 month old innova d4d were one of the victims of typhoon Ondoy and after spending almost 4 months at the casa for "restoration", we finally get the car 2 weeks ago. Can you guys suggest/recommend a good auto repair shop that i can bring our innova because honestly i'm not going to bring our innova to the casa anymore. Puro sakit lang ng ulo ang inabot namin dealing with the casa with regards to their service, the warranty of the car were void anyway since it was a flooded vehicle. The car were running ok for some time but lately, the engine won't start, meron po tunog ng "click" lang pero ok naman po baterya kasi i've already checked. Ano po kaya cause nun? Sometimes, it start on the second attempt, sometimes one click lang sya, pero lately pahirapan na pag-start ng engine eh. Thanks po!!

I will still bring it to the casa. For one, it will be very very expensive for you to bring it to another service center. The dealer should be able to rectify the mistake that they have done and you would not want to start again from ground zero. Just try to salvage whatever you can from the dealer.

Magiging turuan yan eventually kapad dinala sa ibang gagawa for sure. It will be an endless debate as to who made a mistake.

Goodluck to you sir.

mga sir,

ok na po ba yung d4d issues? nag order na kasi ako nang innova diesel. they said na palitan napo yung fuel filter system mga year 2006. is this true? sino po ba may innova diesel year 08 and above? any feedback?

Mga Sir,

Im planning to buy a brandnew innova J diesel this coming feb. Pero sa dami kung nabasang negative feedback about toyota's D4D CRDi parang nagdadalawang isip na tuloy ako.
Sa mga naka D4D CRDi-turbo di po ba mahirap emaintain itong makinang ito? Although 8years na kung nagamit ng diesel engine (4D56 intercooler-turbo Pajero) with my current ride wla pa kung naeencounter na sobrang laking problema. Parang mas ok pa tuloy bumili ng Mits.Adventure kahit old school parin ang makina, mahina hatak dahil none-turbo at mauusok, pero in the long run masmadaling emaintain at mura ang parts.

Pls give me advice bago sana ako bumili ng innova D4D...
Thanks in advance..

when your vehicle gets submerged in a flood, all bets are off. why? because of rust. you may be able to clean and repair the rusted parts now, but after a few days, weeks or months, new and repeat rust spots begin forming onto the electrical contact surfaces. switches malfunction. repeatedly. even after cleaning. the only way to avoid this is to replace all electrical contacts and switches altogether, including relays and solenoids. but that's still not a guarantee that rust will not form. because somewhere deep in your vehicle's body, are wet areas that take a long time to dry up. this also explains why simpler vehicles with less electrical appliances, seem to revive better than more complicated ones. so you say, "but the casas should know how to do it!". hey, when was the last ondoy here? few of us know how to revive submerged vehicles well, because we have had very little practice. if i may be so bold, i'd get rid of my flooded car and get another non-submerged car.

Baka loose battery cable or frozen starter motor. Kinakalawang ang starter pag nalubog sa tubig.

palitan na po ang starter mechanism. malakas pa ang battery mo that is why kaya pa niyang i-start kahit marami nang kalawang "obviously" ang starter mo.

Please research on the thread that I have started. I had a 2008 Innova D4D G AT model and it stalled on me three times. Tatlong beses pinalitan yung fuel pump before it was resolved. Marami akong nakasabay sa casa na mga Fortuner and Innova, mostly 2008 model and same problem. My confidence level went very low, hence the decision to sell it. Now, I have a gas version of another SUV by Toyota. Diesel, no thanks as far as I am concerned. I have had enough. There was a silent service bulletin issued by Toyota but not a recall. It will come out very very expensive.

Sir, try nyo po palinis contacts ng solenoid switch sa Starter Motor. Experienced that on my van and it cost me 100 pesos. hth

[fireblade]

Mid year i think. But I brought it back to them several times til 3rd or 4th quarter and there were other units sold after mine that had the same problems.

sir malamang starter problema ng innova mo cause i experience that on my kia van na nalubog sa ondoy. pinalinis ko lang stater kay rey electrical sa d. tuazon, marikina. sure alam mo location ng shop cause marikina area ka rin.

pwede rin maki join yung mga taga club to support their move... kasi kahit yung vvti namin may gas tank leak issue before but they did not issue any recall or shoulder the expenses unless ma discover mo within the warranty period and if they will admit that indeed there is an gas tank leak issue... pag wala na sa warranty or they did not admit you have to shell out your hard earned money...

Sir, they replaced the fuel tank of my innova gas tank which has leaked. They replaced it for free. I suggest you just have to be firmed with your demand. They just asked me to wtite a letter requesting them to fixed the problem at no extra cost.BTW, my CASA is Toyota Pasig

Had my VVTi Innova twice on gas tank replacement due to leak and mysterious dent just underneath the front strap support.

The first replacement was claimed using insurance because I thought it was dented by hard object, but on the second time it was still the same area with same dent and same leak position, then I already claimed it as warranty.

Negative pressure on the tank creates huge dent on the tank floor, sucking it upward and when the engine is off the negative pressure diminishes and the floor flop to its original position, this constant flopping of gas tank floor creates cracks and gas leaks. On warranty claim, they replace gas tank assembly, filler cap, and charcoal canister.

Up to now my gas tank is still okay, culprit would possibly be the faulty filler cap or the faulty charcoal canister as they were not replaced on my first gas tank replacement problem.

Starter nga po ang problema. Brought the car at rey electrical and they did some cleaning of the starter and replaced the corroded parts inside. I also had the rear air-con blower checked, and they also fixed the blower. Thanks to Toyota Ayala for not checking those electrical components of our poor idiota innova. I'm not bringing back our idiota innova at any toyota casa ever.
Thanks for recommending that particular shop here in marikina.

Sana nga mapaamin ng TMPI na may problema...

[tidus1203]

Good one! Getting the media involved is a big way to make those lazy asses of TMPI move! Toyota D4-D sucks! Mag Hyundai CRDi na lang kayo best in class!

Di naman , but it hurts really if you are affected just like mine. Anyways, I also have a Hyundai CRDI and it rocks. They both have plusses and minusses.

[tidus1203]

Even if your D4-D is fine nothing can escape the fact that its performance is substandard to the competition with the same displacement from other manufacturers (Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Ford and the Germans). I will be bold enough to say that the Hyundai/Kia CRDi has no disadvantage at all over a comparable Toyota D4-D... Maybe price but it comes with quality anyway so its a no issue...

YouTube- Interview about Toyota recall by ABS CBN reporter TJ Manotoc

Youtube is blocked in our office connection. But was it you last night? I saw that. I hope this will initiate the possible recall on the Toyota D4Ds. I don't have any problems with my unit (Nov. '07) as of the moment and "Knock on Wood" I hope I don't experience any in the future but it will be very comforting to know that Toyota will Proactively respond. They have been very reactive so far because of the non-existent Lemon law here in the PI.
