Description of the problem	Even though the vehicle has a perfect maintenance record and has no history of over heating, the head bolts pulled loose from the engine block and the engine leaked oil from the head gasket area. This was verified by desert toyota of tucson. The engine got covered with motor oil and while it was hot it smoked extensively to the point i feared it would catch fire. It did not ignite because the rav4 was pulled off the road and turned off before it could happen. Toyota corp. Was contacted and they said there was nothing they could do to remedy the problem, but issued a case number. The vehicle is not safe to drive. Desert toyota prescribed a $6130 repair. *kb
