I recently sold a 2012 Prado & can tell you that on Prado Point they are having just as many problems with less support from Toyota.

These Prado are no where near the technology of a D3 2.7 let alone a D4 3.0I think they are up to the 4th incarnation of injectors and they are still having problems.

I have a mate with a 2009 200 series that had his passenger window winder fail while still under 3 years & 100,000km and Toyota made him pay for it saying it was a were & tear item.

I know a guy whose Prado diesel threw a piston outside of Karratha recently, Toyota did pay, but he did discover that they are seeing a few of them. And yes there was a Toyota dealer in Karratha, but because of the volume of mining work it took them a couple of weeks to get to his car.

When he returned he had to spend several thousand replacing the injectors and Toyota wouldnt help with that.

Did it throw a rod because it hydraulicised from water ingress, given the problems with the injectors? If so he did well with the new motor.

Cheers

Don't know the answer to that, but there was definitely some information that Toyota was seeing a few of the same issues.

Seriously.. This car is a total lemon

Perhaps this vehicle was a victim of the Qld floods?
