| Description of the problem | Driving my 2008 toyota sienna and it felt funny and i heard some rattling from under the hood. No idea what the problem was but i knew that something was definitely wrong. I checked the oil and the dip stick was completely dry! I put in a few quarts of oil and it came out all over underneath the car as i was driving. Had it towed to the dealer- they told me it was a faulty rubber oil line. I looked it up online and see that toyota had not yet issued a recall but is replacing it in some vehicles. The 2008 toyota sienna is not mentioned - but clearly should be. This is a van that i drive my 2 children around - very clearly a safety issue if i did not recognize soon enough that the engine had no oil! |
