| Description of the problem | 2007 toyota camry with 2gr-fe v-6 engine had a failed vvti pressure pipe assy. Major oil leak developed which caused a loss of engine oil. No warning lights came on. Dealer replaced with the same part number 15707-31030 with the rubber connection instead of the updated all metal part number 15772-31030. I had 56335 miles on the vehicle so it was under warranty but now i am concerned about this event occurring again after another 56000 miles. I went on the internet and now realize that this problem exist on many of the toyota vehicles with this type engine. I feel there should be a recall issued by toyota before someone gets hurt. (fire, broke down on the side of road and another vehicle crashes into you etc.) |
