Toyota Venza Forum

I wanted more up-to-date car reliability information that included actual repair rates. So in late 2005 I started getting people together to make this possible. TrueDelta now updates actual repair frequencies, not just dots, four times a year, to track cars closely as they age.

So far a couple dozen Venza owners have signed up to participate. A good start, but more are needed. So I'm grateful that this forum has agreed to help get the word out.

Participants simply report repairs the month after they occur on a one-page survey. When there are no repairs, they simply report an approximate odometer reading four times a year, at the end of each quarter.

To encourage participation, participants receive full access to all results, not just those for the Venza, for free.

I look forward to getting updates on this. I have now had the V-6 Venza with Package two and a panorama roof for 4 months and have put 4500 miles on it. Like the Prius we have, it has not had one thing that requires a dealer visit other than the first oil change. We have now had the Prius for over 2 years and 25,000 miles. Not one single defect. You might be interested to hear that we got rid of our $52,000 loaded VW Touareg V8, air suspension SUV and went to the Venza. The Touareg had 30 pages of service notes in the dealer's computer. It is a wonderful thing to have a car that only goes to the dealer for routine maintenance.

We have put 10K on our Venza and love it...few oil changes and alignments (lot of rail road tracks)... Also had an console piece changed when we first bought it... no issues since... Great ride and decent gas millage... (especially compared to the 1967 Chevy C-10 with 500+rwhp and the 2004 F-250 with 450+rwhp)

I have been part of True Delta for a couple of years for my previous vehicle. It really is no bother to update the information. We get an e-mail every quarter and enter in any updates as needed. For most situations is about picking from a menu and entering your mileage. It is a great source of information and I wish there had been more info on the Venza when I was doing my research. I hope what I add helps others too.

We have our first results for the Venza, based on owner experiences through December 31, 2009. So far, none of the 19 Venza owners participating has reported a repair.

A big thank you to this forum and everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in May and August. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and include the 2010 as well as the 2009.

We have updated results for the Venza, based on owner experiences through June 30, 2010.

Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the more recent months until the summer or even fall of next year.

The reported repair frequency for the 2009 of 6 repair trips per 100 cars per year is much better than average.

We fell a single response short of having a result for the 2010 as well. It would have been similar to that for the 2009.

Thank you, once again, to this forum and everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in November and February. With more participants, we could provide more precise information.

Sorry everyone I've been working 12/7 for a while now and didn't know the problems you all were having with nhcycle but he's went back to where he came from for good. I've cleaned up the thread by moving all the post to a junkyard.

Thanks Squid...much appreciated.

We have updated results for the Venza, based on owner experiences through September 30, 2010. Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the months since April until the summer or even fall of next year.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2010: 15

2009: 5

Both are better than average. Small sample size for the 2010.

Thank you, once again, to this forum and everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in February and May. With more participants, we could provide more precise information.
