October Consumer Reports
After years of sterling reliability, Toyota is showing cracks in its armor, according to data from Consumer Reports' 2007 Annual Car Reliability Survey. By contrast, Ford's domestic brands have made considerable improvements.
The V6 version of the company's top-selling Camry, and the four-wheel-drive V8 version of the Tundra pickup, both redesigned for 2007, now rate below average in Consumer Reports' predicted reliability rating. (This rating does not apply to previous model years.) In addition, the all-wheel-drive version of the Lexus GS sedan also received a below average rating. Because Consumer Reports does not recommend models with below-average reliability, these models no longer make CR's "Recommended" list.
The 350 is not far behind. All the transmission problems have caught up with Toyota. The ole dreaded shift flare that is in the 6 speed automatic. You talk to a salesman about it and they act like they know nothing about it. A big joke. It finally caught up to them and they have to admit their faulty ways.
