| Description of the problem | A valve spring broke while traveling on the highway, causing the vehicle to shudder and require a slower speed. I fortunately was not in heavy traffic but had circumstances been different this could have posed a more severe safety issue. Upon researching this problem, i'm finding increasingly more instances where the same issue has happened to other toyota owners with the same engine. All around the same mileage (117k). |
