Consumer Description

1992 TOYOTA 4-RUNNER, 3.0 LITER, V-6, 4 WD TRUCK IN SHOP FOR BLOWN HEAD GASKET & POSSIBLE CRACKED BLOCK. I UNDERSTAND THIS VEHICLE HAS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH CAUSES HEAD GASKETS TO BLOW OVER AND OVER IN SPITE OF SO-CALLED GASKET "FIX" BY TOYOTA WHICH I HAD AFTER 50,000 MILES. TOYOTA SHOULD MAKE IT RIGHT TO THEIR CUSTOMERS BY EITHER FIXING THE FLAW OR REIMBURSING FOR COSTS TO REPAIR, TOW & RENT REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. *JB
