Common Problems Reported
Heavy Hydraulic Steering
The hydraulic power steering is heavy at low speeds. U-turns and parking in tight city spots require significant physical effort compared to electric steering systems.
DPF Clogging (BS6 Models)
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) issues are common in BS6 models driven primarily in the city. Owners need to perform manual regeneration frequently.
Brake Disc Jitter
Early models (2016-2017) faced issues with brake shuddering at high speeds. Toyota updated the brake calipers and discs in later versions.
