I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR LESS THEN A MONTH AGO. IT HAS NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. NOW WHEN YOU START DRIVING IT WILL SHUT OFF AFTER 10 MINUTES. I WAS TOLD ITS EITHER A FLY WHEEL OR THE ENGINE HAS SEIZED. I PAID CASH AND HAVE NO MONEY TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS. IM 5.5 MONTHS PREGNANT TOO. *TR

MY 1993 TOYOTA 4-RUNNER HAS GONE THROUGH FOUR HEAD GASKETS IN THE LAST SEVEN YEARS. AND NOW IT NEEDS A FIFTH! TOYOTA ACTUALLY REPLACED THE FIRST TWO AT NO COST. TOYOTA HAD ISSUED A RECALL ON THE HEAD GASKET (THOUGH I RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM THE DEALER). SO THE FIRST HEAD GASKET WAS REPLACED AT NO CHARGE, THEN IT FAILED WITHIN NINE MONTHS, SO THEY PAID FOR THE SECOND. BUT THEY HAVE NOT PAID FOR THE THIRD, FORTH, NOR NOW NOT THE FIFTH. *TR

THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE FAILURE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MILEAGE WAS RESET; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ONE YEAR LATER. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER IS UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,203 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

93 4RUNNER HEAD GASKET BLOWN AGAIN. THEY REPLACED IT THE FIRST TIME IN 2001, BUT THE DESIGN OF THE GASKET WAS STILL FLAWED. TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR ALL DEFECTIVE PARTS. IF A PART IS RECALLED, "FIXED", AND THEN CONTINUES TO BE DEFECTIVE THEN TOYOTA HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE LITERAL THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE IN MY SAME SHOES. *TR
