NHTSA Complaint #10458611 — 1995 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

I DO NOT OWN THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE AS I NEEDED A RELIABLE VEHICLE TO MAKE IT TO ARIZONA FROM IOWA. I ALSO HAD A COBALT I HAD TO GET RID OF WITH BAD TRANSMISSION AND STEERING RACK (PRIOR TO RECALL OF STEERING RACKS). I DO NOT HAVE STORAGE CAPABILITY FOR JUNK VEHICLES. THIS TOYOTA HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET AT 90000 MILES LIKE ALL THE OTHER 10 YEARS WORTH OF RECALLED 4RUNNER 3VZ-E ENGINES. BUT CONVENIENTLY FOR TOYOTA THEY FORGOT TO INCLUDE 95. THERE IS NO WAY A CAR COMPANY REDESIGNS AN ENGINE THEY WERE PHASING OUT IN 4 MONTHS. NEEDED GASKET REPLACED BUT NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. TOYOTA SAID TOO BAD, SO SAD, OUR REPUTATION RELIES ON QUALITY VEHICLES. BBB SAID IT IS UP TO THE CAR COMPANY TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR VEHICLES, I.E. WE DO NOT CARE. I GOT $0.00 FOR TRADE IN ON IT. THE COBALT I ALSO TOOK A $1000 LOSS SINCE I ONLY HAD IT 4 MONTHS AND TRADED IT IN WITH 42000 MILES (BOUGHT AT 37000). *JS
