Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 TOYOTA AVALON LIMITED WHEN THE OIL LINE APPARENTLY LET GO SPEWING OIL ALL OVER THE ENGINE CAUSING IT TO SMOKE. ALL THE OIL DRAINED FROM THE ENGINE AS A RESULT, CREATING AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. THE TOYOTA DEALER THAT REPAIRED THE LINE MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A BULLETIN FROM TOYOTA ALERTING DEALERS TO THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS NOT A RECALL. A REVIEW OF EDMUNDS AND OTHER WEBSITES SHOWS A LONG LIST OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SPECIFIC ENGINE FAILURE. *TR
