| Description of the problem | My vehicle suddenly lost power because the plastic fan in the secondary injection system broke and the pieces blew into the exhaust ports and melt, sticking up the exhaust ports. The vehicle doesn't run right and is a safety hazard because of a design problem. Toyota accepts the problem and has extended the vehicle warranties for the 2007-2010 model years, but not for my model year. Repair has cost me over $3,000 for their mistake. It is a safety hazard. It should be recalled. |
