Toyota D4D engine woes

[afg598]

Pls ask your friend how did the defective rear spring manifest itself?

When he loads something heavy on the rear e.g. golf bag and he goes over a humps, he hears a creaking sound.

natutuwa talaga ako sa thread na to

i don't understand why, to some people, a criticism of the car they own is equivalent to an attack on their manhood....but it is sure is entertaining :bwahaha: i guess proving/justifying their own purchase decision is the most important thing, rather than helping others be educated consumers.

when i bought my last car, a lot of owners on the VW forums sent me a very mixed message. they loved the car but hated its problems (some of them were serious - involving the gearbox, the AWD, and the engine)...it made me think twice, but we eventually bought it anyway.

i might end up having the same problems that were described (1 year na at wala pa naman, knock on wood), but at least i appreciate that other people were willing to help me make an educated decision....i certainly don't think they are losers :hihihi:

i have been following this thread for sometime now. of course this has some sort of "influenced" me in choosing between a vvti and a d4d. i got a d4d innova, and i have been using it for nearly a month now without any problem...so far...so good. ang napapansin ko dito sa forum na to ay parang may dalawang school of thought. ang una, yung mga dati nang members, na puro problems ng vehicles nila ang topic. pangalawa naman, yung mga tagsubaybay na mayroong mga units na walang problema. but i would like to cite the likes of AGReyes and albert99. they are brave to say na walang dapat ipangamba ang mga d4d owners, even if they are ridiculed and called "not-so-good-to-hear" names. From what i get here, what we have to do, the moment we experience whatever problems with our d4ds is to bring our defective units to the dealers who sold to us the same. I understand we bought our cars not as "luxury" items or "investments" but as a WORKHORSE--that can address various tasks, lalo na sa atin na mga family men/women or working individuals. Hindi po ako Toyota agent or salesman, baka magsuspetsa kayo. thanks. merry xmas.

well... if you noticed, the title of the thread is " toyota d4d engine woes".
Off topic na nga yung mga toyota fanboys eh. They should create their own thread like "How I invested my money in a toyota" or "Toyota is my life" or better yet " Toyota is my parent".


oopppsss OT na rin pala ako.

IMHO saying something negative about the topic of the thread is not OT. A critic may be postive or negative. So concurring or disagreeing about the D4D woes is ok. The important thing is the reasoning behind the his view.

745 PM last night, SLEX Southbound before Bicutan, brand new white Fortuner 3.0 D4D ( no plates yet ) stalled in the middle of the road causing traffic jam. Buti na lang malapit lang ang Toyota Bicutan!

But TBP's service closes at 5 or 6 pm. Today lang yan maasikaso ng TBP. Tsk tsk tsk....

Mga tsikoteers what is or are the problems of d4d engines? masyado mahaba na threads at maramin na rin ako pages na na basa pero most of the discussions were about the comments on the comments whether in favor or not. Our company bought 5 units this year kaya gusto ko rin malaman ang shortlist of common problem recurring para ma advise yun user to be alert for said defects. Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas to all
