Consumer Description

TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR WAS LEAKING COOLANT OUT OF THREE HEAD BOLTS ON BACK OF ENGINE BLOCK. THEY WERE STRIPPED OUT BECAUSE OF TOYOTA IMPROPER DESIGN OF THE BLOCK. 4 1/2" HOLE WITH 4" BOLT WITH ONLY THE BOTTOM 1 1/2" THREADED WHICH IS ONLY AN INCH TO INCH THREAD. POUR DESIGN FOR AN ALUMINUM BLOCK FOR THAT TENSILE STRENGTH. ITS AN 06 SCION TC THEY WANTED 6000 TO REPLACE BLOCK. EVEN CALLED CORPORATE BUT THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE ITS OUTSIDE OF POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WHEN THEY KNOW ITS A KNOWN ISSUE. THEY EVEN ISSUED A TSB OUT IN 3/2/2011. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE I HAVE SEEN MANY CASES ON THIS ISSUE AND TOYOTA IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THEIR PROBLEM AND THEIR POUR DESIGNS. SERVICE BULLETIN: S-SB-0004-11. *KB
