The past couple of months have not been kind to Toyota. The Japanese automaker, whose Corolla and Camry models have often been praised for their durability and safety, may reportedly institute even more recalls. The company has already recalled 10 million vehicles since September, with many due to an unintended acceleration problem that has put the automaker in hot water with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
However, those aren’t the only problems the automaker faces. In recent weeks, Toyota has also recalled some Lexus hybrids for a fuel leak problem, as well as several thousand more cars for a problem with airbag deployment.
Now, there is widespread speculation that Toyota will recall 27,000 more vehicles for faulty engines. According to the Associated Press, the company has received over 200 complaints of engine issues, some of which cite a strange noise coming from the vehicle. While the company has yet to issue a recall, a Toyota spokesperson has said the company is considering its options.
While new Toyotas have been plagued by a variety of issues, used Toyota cars may still provide the reliability that drivers are looking for. In addition, the resale value of Toyotas has taken a hit in the wake of these announcements, so drivers may be able to find deals.
