What 2020 Toyota Supra owners say

Electrical system

The 2020 - 2025 Toyota Supra is manufactured by BMW and uses virtually all components supplied by BMW. The vehicle includes dual climate controls (driver / passenger) and the temperature of the air from the vents is controlled independently. It is known by BMW that the blend door or the actuator (motor) - which regulates how much cold versus hot air is mixed per the control setting - can break or be deformed. This is a manufacturing defect in the heating unit, not a wear issue. No heat is available to the driver either through the center vent, the left vent, and most importantly from a safety standpoint, the vents at the windshield. This means defrosting or defogging the windshield during winter is virtually impossible because only extremely cold air is available on the driver's side. Since it is made by BMW, the Supra is at risk for the same issue. …

Steering

I purchased a 2020 Toyota Supra on November 11, 2019. On December 2,2019. This vehicle seriously and very dangerously malfunctioned. I was pulling out of my residential area after stopping at a stop sign, proceeded to make a left onto greenspring ave. , heading towards the beltway, and this vehicle, instead of allowing me to turn left, took over and the steering went to the right, taking me up a curb and into a tree. The car literally took complete control without allowing me to control the steering. There are many possible reasons that could have caused this to happen. It could be the a lane sensor failure, steering failure, sensors failure, software failure, software miscommunication etc. …

25,000 miles · Mar 2023

I am reporting a safety concern involving BMW and Toyota Supra vehicles equipped with the B58 Technical Update (B58TU) engine, commonly found in model years 2019-2021. These vehicles utilize a variable-displacement engine oil pump containing an internal thermoplastic adjusting component responsible for regulating oil pressure. Field failures are increasingly being reported in which this internal component fractures, resulting in sudden loss or instability of engine oil pressure. The failure frequently occurs during cold-start operation in low ambient temperatures. When the component fails, oil pressure regulation becomes erratic or is lost entirely. In many cases, drivers receive little or no actionable warning prior to engine damage or vehicle disablement. …
