Toyota refuses to cover the issues even though thousands of people are complaining about the issue online, class action suits have been opened and there is a petition online to get them to recall this issue with over 6,000 signatures. Mine personally has the oil leak and i can smell burning oil every time i get out of the vehicle. There is a large oil burn stain on the exhaust where the oil is falling. Apparently it |
