The 2009 Toyota Supra doesn't exist — Toyota discontinued the Supra in 2002 and didn't revive it until 2020. The repair data provided suggests a high-performance turbocharged engine with catastrophic internal failures, which doesn't match any real 2009 Toyota platform.
Complete Engine Internal Failure Pattern
Common · high severitySymptoms: Knocking or rod knock at idle or under load, Metal shavings in oil during changes, Catastrophic loss of oil pressure, Seized engine or spun bearings
Fix: The repair frequency list shows widespread bottom-end failures requiring crankshaft removal, bearing replacement, piston work, and often complete short block replacement. This suggests either severe tuning abuse, oiling system defects, or incorrect part data. Labor ranges 25-40 hours for short block swap, 40-60 hours for full rebuild.
Estimated cost: $8,000-18,000
Head Gasket Failure (Both Banks)
Common · high severitySymptoms: Coolant loss with no visible leaks, White smoke from exhaust, Overheating under boost, Milky oil or coolant contamination
Fix: Both head gaskets failing suggests either severe overheating events or boost-related failures on a tuned turbo motor. Requires cylinder head removal, resurfacing, and ARP stud upgrades are typically recommended. 16-24 hours labor depending on I4 vs I6 configuration.
Estimated cost: $3,500-6,500
Transmission Oil Cooler Failure
Occasional · high severitySymptoms: Transmission fluid in coolant (strawberry milkshake fluid), Coolant in transmission causing slipping, Transmission overheating warnings, Erratic shifting after cooler breach
Fix: Internal transmission cooler failure allows cross-contamination, destroying both cooling system and transmission. Requires cooler replacement, complete fluid flushes of both systems, often transmission rebuild. External cooler upgrade recommended. 8-12 hours plus transmission work if damaged.
Estimated cost: $1,200-2,500
Transmission Mount Collapse
Common · medium severityTypical onset: 60,000-100,000 mi
Symptoms: Clunking on acceleration or deceleration, Excessive driveline vibration, Visible engine/trans movement in bay, Difficulty shifting or grinding (manual)
Fix: High-torque turbo motors shred OEM rubber mounts, especially if tuned. Replacement with upgraded polyurethane units common. 2-4 hours labor depending on access and whether subframe drop required.
Estimated cost: $400-900
Do not buy — this vehicle doesn't exist as specified, and if the data represents something real, the catastrophic failure pattern indicates either severe abuse or fundamental engineering problems that make it unviable as a reliable driver.
