Toyota D4D engine woes

**larshell** · December 14th, 2005 01:20 PM

I share ko lang, just awhile ago ex Mayor Tinoy Blanco of Meycauayan Bulacan make a stop at my place wd his Fortuner White 3.0 4x4 wd hoodscoop.Syempre kwentuhan, sabi ko mayor ganda po ng Fortuner nyo He replied gusto mo? binebenta ko nga e.
Sabi ko naman bakit po? Mayor: Itinirik ako nito pa puntang pangasinan.
May Fishpond sya sa pangasinan twice a week daw sya nagpuounta dun.
Sabi rin nya bagong repair ito galing ng casa pinakita pa nga yong resibo same wd my resibo white bond paper amounting to 113,000 plus palit di lahat ng CRDi system.
Mileage nya 26k na going 27k.

Wow, so confirmed na talaga na this stalling problem is not peculiar only to the 2.5 li. D4D but to the 3.0 li. D4D as well. So marami na tayo mag-pepressure sa Toyota mag-issue ng RECALL !!!

I think the best way to take this to Toyota head-on is thru the suggestion of busy_road (isang tawag ka lang) or themann (e-mail a motoring columnist) and just simply ask an open question to Toyota :

Can TOYOTA make an Official Statement on how TOYOTA plans to address the stalling problem being enconutered by their D4D-powered vehicles? Will TOYOTA issue a product recall or will TOYOTA extend the D4D engine warranty.

I think this is a good way to start the ball rolling and the good thing is that it is publicly broadcasted so TOYOTA can't just shrugg it off or sit on it.

Nakuuu!!! Malaking problema yan kaya sa tingin ko dapat mag 2.7VVTI gas FORTUNER nalang kasi mukhang delikado talaga ang CRDI version ng TOYOTA di gaya ng Korean Car Version like Hyundai and KIA. Syempre sabihin lang naman nila na di totoo yun paninira lang yan. Sa tingin ko we have to wait for next year if TOYOTA can improve on their CRDI technology or they have to upgrade their system about diesel engines. It's not a good excuse just giving a right away comments on what diesel fuel we have here in Phils. if their vehicles are not compatible on what we have here then they must RECALL their unit instead

how about the hilux 4x4? parang wala pa akong naririnig na comments regarding its CRDI. Parehas lang kasi ang engine nila ng 3.0 fortuner.

I think this should be a collective effort of all owners ng Fortuner and Inova. Siguro mas magaling kung direct sa Toyota tayo mag reklamo kesa dito lang lahat sa Tsikot. We are not sure kung may taga Toyota na nagbabasa ng mga threads natin. Sumigaw man tayo dito, eh walang mangyayari.

Pwede tayong mag post ng reklamo dito:

http://www.toyota.com.ph/forms/contact.asp

Siguro naman walang mawawala kung lahat tayo ay mag reklamo sa Toyota. Let them know our concerns and problems and give them a chance to work it out. Kung wala pa din mangyari, then lets ask for government intervention or legal action.

I have sent them my letter. Lets wait and see kung mag response sila. Pero sana naman ay sumulat din kayo para malaman nila na marami tayo.

Strength in numbers....

Maganda nman daw ang performance ng D4D sa ibang bansa... Cguro quality control ang problema sa atin...
Cguro okay bumuo ng "D4D club"

Actually whatever messages that gets sent to Toyota through that URL is quite useless since Toyota is either very aloof regarding customer service or they simply treat the messages like spam and fail to read it at all (I sent them a message/letter through that URL-six months ago-and up to now still waiting for their reply).

Toyota will only act if they are shamed publicly through the various media outlets (eg. daily papers, investigative tv shows, etc.). Otherwise nothing will happen again and Toyota will quietly slither away from such debacles again, unscathed. So if anyone can leverage their ties with individuals with the right connections, then pls. do so for the sake of the fragmented, collective, frustrated, disappointed, groups of D4-D owners.
