2023 Toyota Supra Common Problems by Component
5 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
SERVICE BRAKES
3 complaintsOwners of the 2023 Toyota Supra with a manual transmission report issues with the electronic parking brake releasing unintentionally. Complaints frequently mention that the parking brake disengages when the clutch pedal is released, even when the transmission is in neutral, leading to potential rollaway scenarios. This issue is noted to occur both immediately after starting the vehicle and after it has been in operation. Symptoms typically include the vehicle rolling unexpectedly when parked, posing a safety risk. No specific mileage range is mentioned, but the issue's recurrence suggests it may be a consistent problem for affected vehicles.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
1 complaintParking brake is releasing on its own. I would press the clutch in when starting the car and as soon as i release or press down again it will release. Car is also in neutral when I am doing this so it has nothing to with it being in gear and releasing. The parking brake should on release when I pull the button or if i am in gear and want to pull off.
WHEELS
1 complaintGoing west bound on I30 in Arkansas traveling with the flow of traffic. There was a transition part of the highway where it went from some asphalt repair to concrete roadway and when my car hit this the wheel seperated in a 360 degree pattern and the only thing holding the wheel together was the tire. I believe the 19" wheel that Toyota used on this 2023 Supra has a factory defect and is very dangerous and needs to be looked into ASAP. There was no damage to the car at all.

How We Calculate Reliability Scores
Auto Reliability Index scores are calculated on a 0–100 scale using a weighted formula that combines multiple public data sources. Each factor is weighted based on its predictive value for real-world ownership experience.
Key Ranking Factors
Complaint Severity
NHTSA owner complaints weighted by component category (e.g., powertrain, safety systems, electronics, cosmetic) — safety-critical issues carry more weight than cosmetic ones. Adjusted for sales volume so high-volume models aren't unfairly penalized.
Repair Costs
Independent reliability ratings based on repair frequency, average repair costs, and severity of typical repairs for each model.
Recall Impact
Number of NHTSA recalls weighted by severity. “Stop driving” and fire-risk recalls are penalized more heavily than minor software or labeling recalls.
Issue Diversity
Measures how many major vehicle systems (engine, transmission, electrical, braking, etc.) have recorded complaints. A vehicle with issues spread across many systems may indicate systemic quality issues.
Scores are grouped into four tiers:
- 80–100: Excellent— Top-tier reliability, minimal issues
- 60–79: Good— Reliable with some minor concerns
- 40–59: Mixed— Notable issues, research before buying
- 0–39: Risky— Significant problems, proceed with caution
Data is sourced from NHTSA recall records, owner complaint filings, and independent repair databases. Scores are recalculated as new data becomes available. While the weighting model is proprietary, all underlying data sources are public and traceable.
Get notified when new recalls or reliability data is added for the Toyota Supra.
