NHTSA Complaint #11268355 — 2011 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER

I OPENED THE HOOD TO CHECK ENGINE OIL, AND SAW HOT COOLANT SPRAYED ALL OVER UNDER HOOD. COOLANT LEVEL WAS VERY LOW. UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION, THERE'S A CRACK IN THE TOP PLASTIC OF THE RADIATOR FROM WHICH COOLANT WAS SPRAYING OUT BEFORE I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BOTH DUE TO THE POTENTIAL OF BURNS/SCALDING, BUT ALSO ENGINE DAMAGE AND FIRES WHILE TRAVELING DUE TO LOW COOLANT. FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AT 6-8 YEARS OF AGE AND AROUND 100,000 MILES. I CAN'T UPLOAD A PHOTO SINCE I'VE HAD IT CLEANED AND REPAIRED TO MAKE IT DRIVABLE (AT MY EXPENSE).
