| Description of the problem | The rubber portion of the oil supply hose for the wt-1 actuator failed resulting in a sudden loss of several quarts of oil. This oil was carried along the undercarriage and sprayed a fine mist of oil on the windshields of the cars behind the van. Luckily this occurred close to home at a low speed. If this was on the highway it could have caused sudden reduced visibility for the drivers behind the vehicle and could have led to an accident. I am sorry but using a rubber hose on an oil line is one of the dumbest things i have heard of. Fortunately for us, no one was hurt and no damage was done to the vehicle. I don't understand how this has not turned into a recall. This was a big mistake on toyota's part. |
