| Description of the problem | The front lower oil cooler pressure hose (toyota part no. 15767 31010) started spraying oil out while the van was being driven under normal operating conditions in a residential neighborhood with young children in the car. Had this occurred at a higher speed (on a highway), all the oil would have sprayed out and the engine would have seized. This could have caused an accident or the van could have caught on fire. This is a well known problem with this part that toyota has done almost nothing to fix or prevent. We were extremely fortunate to have discovered this problem immediately. |
