2008 Toyota SEQUOIA Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Model	SEQUOIA
Model Year	2008
File date	10/06/09
Component	ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Engine oil seepage (or slow leak) at the cam housing and engine head connection (gasket seam) area, above the exhaust manifold, on the right-hand-side engine cylinder bank. Oil first detected at 9,000 miles (vehicle was purchased new). Concern: possible engine fire if the oil seepage becomes worse over the course of additional miles driven. Oil seepage should not occur in an engine this new - especially in areas near a hot exhaust manifold. Other similar toyota v8 engines appear clean at the same area - no oil residue apparent in other toyota v8 5. 7l engines of similar specifications. This appears to be a material surface manufacturing defect in my vehicle's engine. Engine info: toyota 5. 7l v8 corrective action: i took the vehicle to toyota dealer to repair the seepage or leak to avoid a possible engine fire (as a preventive measure), and dealer told me i had to call toyota. I called the toyota customer experience center 1-800 number and the recording stated i was not able to speak to a toyota representative and i should call back later. I have not been happy with toyota's customer service. When i asked a service manager at a dealer about getting this repair done under warranty, he responded by saying "i can't do that to toyota." it is unfortunate that toyota values itself more than it values customers.
