Okay, so after my first 2021 supra buy back, (Tungsten) for oil consumption issues less than 3000 miles. Toyota changed me out to the 2021 (renaissance) at about 3100 miles had the "add 1 quart" then again at 4400 miles, took the car in and Toyota started a TAS for this car. They went in and scoped the cylinder walls and other checks (FOUND SCORING ON THE WALLS). topped off and was told to come back after another 1000 miles, for a follow-up still no response from technical on this data had to add more oil.
so that is the back story.
so now I have another issue. I have reached out to multiple people. With the help from Will @ A90shop.com. Here is what is going on now at WOT at speeds well over 100mph I am getting what feels like a misfire(shutter). on one occasion had a hard CEL light come on. Took the car to Toyota and apparently, the car logged and registered the speed and time of occurrence. Their service manager asked "where I had this thing that fast". "MEXICO" THE CEL WAS "KNOCK". Toyota, ran the diagnostics found that cylinder 2 and 5 had bad plugs "Champion?" they had to order from Toyota. obviously could not get them in timely fashion. so I offered to buy the NGK and bring them. I was explained too explicitly that "if I used aftermarket plugs it would void the ignition system on this car". So I let them replace the 2 bad plugs (They ended up running down the street to BMW). Plugs seemed to fix the issue for about 700 miles. while playing in "Mexico" again, same issue again, except CEL flashes and went into limp; shut it off, and restarts fine no issues. do another hard pull, same issue. took it in again. they found nothing wrong. Kept the car for 2weeks driving trying to recreate the symptoms. I explained normal driving conditions the car acts fine.......from the service manager "We can't drive the car like that to recreate the issue". so my wife picked it up, now sitting garage until I get home.
Now on the day she picked it up (2weeks later) they reported to her that we needed to return to stock....... (IT IS STOCK)
"Toyota Technical is saying that my FTP charge pipe and AWE exhaust with the HKS intake are causing the issue (FACTORY DP by the way) I need to replace the parts back to stock or they cannot diagnose any further". So obviously I had to call from overseas. Finally got ahold of the service manager...... to sum it up. I laughed at the statement he gave my wife. "Your Dealership put these items on the car for me, the day you bought back my old supra, it was part of the deal (swap my parts over, or give me my money back)"
so three issues:
Misfire.............. has anyone had this issue?
Knock.............. anyone seen this yet?
Still consuming oil (like drunkard).................. obviously we have this issue, what's the status from Toyota on replacement?
apologies for any grammatical errors, using my I-phone from a vessel offshore.
so that is the back story.
