Consumer Description

ANOTHER TOYOTA RECALL??? MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH 2,500 MILES HAD A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (THE ENGINE BLEW OUT ON THE TRUCK). I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG. I PULLED OVER AND ENGINE OIL WAS DUMPING OUT OF THE ENGINE ONTO THE GROUND. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO STEVINSON WEST TOYOTA - THEY TOOK THE ENGINE APART AND FOUND MULTIPLE HOLES IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THEY ARE STILL NOT TELLING ME THE SOURCE OF THIS ENGINE FAILURE. TOYOTA IS TELLING ME THIS IS A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE, BUT I HAVE BEEN FINDING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH OTHER TUNDRA'S (2007-2010), INCLUDING A USA TODAY ARTICLE FROM 2007, "TOYOTA FIXING ENGINE FAILURES IN NEW TUNDRA TRUCKS." AND, WHILE OUR TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP, WE SPOKE WITH ANOTHER TUNDRA OWNER (2009; IN THE SAME SHOP) WHO HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE. EXACT ISSUES FROM SOME OTHER TUNDRA'S ONLINE (HTTP://WWW.TUNDRASOLUTIONS.COM/FORUMS/TUNDRA/186091-ENGINE-BLEW-4K-MILES/)!!! *TR
