Consumer Description

2006 TOYOTA 4RUNNER. I WAS QUOTED $1,500 FOR A TIME COVER OIL LEAK REPAIR IN LAKELAND, FL. THERE WAS A TSB ISSUED 2007 (EG049-07). APPARENTLY, MOST OF THE CHARGE IS FOR LABOR, THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT EXPENSIVE. I UNDERSTAND THE AVALON HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS REPAIR COST IS ASTRONOMICAL, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT IT'S A COMMONLY KNOWN PROBLEM IN TOYOTAS - POSSIBLY FROM POOR DESIGN. I DON'T THINK THE CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO ABSORB THE COST OF THIS REPAIR. HOPEFULLY, SOMETHING IS BEING DONE TO HELP THE CONSUMER. *TR
