Most of the 4 cyl. engines in Toyota vehicles are built in the US. I know this from talking with an independent repair shop here that specializes in working on Toyotas and Hondas. I was told that there is a serious quality-control problem that has plagued these US-made 4 cyl. engines in the last few years. Toyota has been quietly replacing these engines, both in and out of warranty, when failure has occurred.
Yeah, no. There’s a lot of American businesses making parts for Toyota and other Japanese companies to assemble into cars here.
The most American car on the market in terms of parts content... is the Toyota Camry: http://www.autonews.com/article/20160628/OEM01/160629860/toyota-camry-returns-to-no.-1-on-most-american-list
Not a Ford, not a GM, not a Chrysler. A TOYOTA.
