  • Prado, hilux and tuna common problems

    Hi guys,
    Seeing as the Prado's, hiluxes and tuna's share most things can I gauge if the issues that I have are common to all 3 please. I have a tuna
    1. Noisy injectors,
    2. DPF soft burn every 240km @99% hwy running
    3. Very black exhaust pipe (won't wipe off the fingers) relearn and forced regen done didn't help)
    4. interior dash /trim rattles,
    5. wanders all over the road not tyre pressure dependant (even the mrs complains)
    6. outside window trims are loose if you tap them (will wear the paint and promote rust later)
    7. very uncomfortable seat digs into the left leg can't walk after 300km,
    8. clunky thud noise from front end after releasing the brakes when it has been parked,
    9. Dash lights bad on the eyes at night on a long drive (I cover them up)
    10. Shake like a bad wheel balance (wheels been re balanced and the same on the other tuna that the dealer took back)
    11. Occasionally cuts out like a full miss under medium load.
    12. Oil is black again 100km after a service (done 15,000km)
    Cheers
    Dave

    Sounds like a Lemon, did you test drive before buy?

    My Prado is perfect 60,000km no issues.

      The newer the diesel, the blacker the oil goes & fast. More egr, you yuk yuk! No longevity at all. Just emissions pass!!!! Euro 7,8,9,10! Ridiculous!
      Stick with Prado 1kd till the end of touring oz!
      Then petrol all the way unless you die touring oz in your 1kd.

        2016 Prado GXL... Only have Point 5 - the road wandering. It was pretty ordinary. Bought an OME kit and it settled right down. Still not awesome. Also have the second point, doing similar Hwy driving, but I understand that's auto-mated.

        Your Exhaust shouldn't be black. That's what a DPF is meant to prevent - the black particulate matter. If it's black - take it back - your DPF isn't working. Mine's perfectly clear with steel colour all around at 12,000km.

          I have a Hilux, slight vibration in the dash at 2500rpm under load, other than that 6500k haven't witness a DPF burn yet?

            This is my second one, the first one had most of the same issues and industrial fallout all through the paint and glass - the dealer took that one back and gave me this one.

              Yeah I know the exhaust should be spotless which is why they did a forced regen and injector learn last service after I pointed it out.

                  I reckon you all should stop whining and buy a Ranger. Handle and ride like a dream and go like stink.

                  And Ford service will give you plenty to whine about if you can't help yourself.
