Toyota Warranty Options

Toyota backs its cars with a bumper-to-bumper warranty lasting three years or 36,000 miles. The company also includes a five-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty that covers the engine, transmission, and drive axles. This protection safeguards owners against manufacturing defects but lasts only a fraction of a Toyota’s typical lifespan. Toyota owners looking for coverage after the factory warranties expire often turn to Endurance Warranty for a vehicle service contract, also known as an extended warranty or auto protection plan.

  Despite Toyota vehicles’ reputation for reliability, no car is perfect forever. That’s why many owners without the benefit of factory warranty coverage opt for an extended warranty. Before making any warranty decision, it’s helpful to learn more about specialized protection for your Toyota.

Toyota Reliability

Toyota and Lexus ranked among the top three most reliable car brands. The results are echoed in the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study. This dependability makes Toyotas a natural choice for car buyers looking for a hassle-free ownership experience. Its vehicles have become benchmarks in many segments, but reliability can vary by nameplate and model year.

  For example, the Toyota RAV4 is one of the most popular vehicles in America. For most years since 2007, when J.D. Power tracks quality and reliability, the RAV4 has had a “great” rating. However, newer 2019, 2020, 2024, and 2025 examples fall to an “average” rating.

  Meanwhile, J.D. Power ranks every Toyota Camry model year over the same period as great for the same category. However, great is the exception, not the rule, for the Toyota Sienna. J.D. Power ranks this minivan as average for quality and reliability for most model years since 2007.

Common Repairs for Toyota Vehicles

While Endurance claims data shows that the Toyota Corolla is a reliable vehicle, this “world’s most popular car” isn’t immune to problems. Faulty evaporative emission control systems (EVAPs) and transmission troubles in higher-mileage models are known issues with the Corolla. Meanwhile, the Camry may not be quite bulletproof, as transmission and oxygen sensor problems rank among typical repairs for this model. Generally, common Toyota car repairs are more model-specific than those across a wide range of nameplates.
