Description of the problem	I went out this morning to warm my car. When i came out to take my son to school all of my oil had leaked out on the ground. I had just went in for a regular oil chg at the toyota dealer. I didn't know what was wrong. I drove the car to the dealer not knowing that my engine could have locked up on me. Luckily i made it to the dealer safely. After looking at my car the toyota rep. Came out and told me that my vvtl line has busted. I was like this is a brand new car. I only had it for 3 years. The rep said that the part is under warranty and it will probably take some weeks before the part comes in. She said that they already had cars there with the same problem that have been sitting for weeks. She said that the part was on back order. I really think that its crazy that toyota have had this many complaints on the vvtl line breaking and have not made they customers aware of it. I am very dissatisfied with toyota, and i think that they need to do a recall on all cars regarding this problem. At least send something out to there customers making them aware of it. The thing is now the part that they are sending out .. Will that have a defect in it too? If they are just replacing the same old part what happens when your car isn't under warranty anymore? If it wasn't for my co-worker telling me about this website i would not have known that so many people have had the same problem. This is just so upsetting!
