| Description of the problem | This cars engine had to be pulled out for head gaskets. I was charged 4000. 00 when it was covered under the warranty. A year later they gave me the money back. Then i had external high pressure oil lines replaced and the gaskets several times. This car is one of the worst cars i have ever owned. I take care of my cars to the exstreme. I am a diesel specialist for the state. I finally had to get rid of the car. I wrote toyota a letter and got absolutely no sympathy or understanding whatsoever. |
