| Description of the problem | Piston slap on toyota 3. 5 l v6 since new. Very loud when cold in cooler temperatures.. Ca arbitrator agrees with toyota that this is normal for this engine. I cannot sell this car with this noise but toyota doesn't care. Toyota has had a few complaints but no failures yet. Piston slap wears the piston prematurely and could in my opinion lead to failure. This is my 2nd complaint to you people for the same issue. |
