Consumer Description
MY 2003 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER ( 2.4L 4-CYLINDER) DEVELOPED A COOLANT LEAK ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE ENGINE. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME IT HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET AND THAT THE BACK THREE HEAD BOLTS ARE COMPLETELY STRIPPED,ALLOWING COOLANT TO LEAK ONTO THE ENGINE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON THE COMPUTER I FIND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET TOYOTA TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR PROBLEM? *TR
