Consumer Description

MYSTERIOUS COOLANT LOSS, PRESSURIZED SYSTEM FOUND NO EXTERNAL LEAKS. WATCHED PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A MONTH, KEPT TOPPING UP COOLANT. DRIVING HOME LAST NIGHT SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER ON FREE WAY TEMPERATURE SPIKE, ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT GETTING OFF FREEWAY. HEAD GASKET FAILURE. TOWED. CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN DONE, TOYOTA DEALER WILL NOT HONOR LABOR OR EVEN THE PART, AND IT IS QUITE AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR SOMETHING THAT WILL FAIL SOONER THAN LATER. MY NISSAN HAS OVER 300,000KM ON IT AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. FLAWED DESIGN IN HEAD OR BLOCK. *TR
