2022 Toyota Venza

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Venza.

Transmission Automatic (AV-S6)

The 2022 Toyota Venza sits near the midpoint of the nameplate’s 2009–2024 complaint history, running a powertrain that takes 4.8 quarts of 0W-16 engine oil and an Automatic (AV-S6) transmission, with EPA ratings of 40/37/39 mpg. Reliability data for the year shows 39 owner complaints, the most common area being Visibility/Wiper, along with one recall. That tally is well below the 2021 peak of 181 complaints but above the 2023 low of 20, which frames the 2022 Venza as a comparatively moderate year in the model’s recent record rather than a standout problem period.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs at 120,000 mi; coolant every 50,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 50,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

In 2022 the Venza logged 39 complaints, 1 recall, 0 investigations and 65 technical service bulletins. This complaint total is far below the 2009‑2015 range (which varied from 172 down to 25) and also markedly lower than the 2021 spike of 181 complaints, while the recall count mirrors the single‑recall pattern seen from 2014 through 2024. The top complaint categories for 2022 were Visibility/Wiper (7), Exterior Lighting (4), Unknown/Other (3) and Structure (2), with 6 crash‑related complaints and no fire complaints reported. Overall, the federal record shows a declining complaint trend after the 2021 peak, positioning the 2022 model year on the improving side of the cycle. Consequently, the 2022 Toyota Venza presents a comparatively low‑risk option for a used purchase, assuming routine maintenance checks are performed.
