Consumer Description

TOYOTA HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THEIR 5.7 L V8 ENGINE WITH THE CAM SHAFT TOWERS LEAKING OIL ONTO THE EXHAUST WHICH IS A FIRE HAZARD. THIS IS A RESULT OF THEM NOT APPLYING ENOUGH SEALANT AT THE FACTORY, WHICH WAS CONFIRMED TO ME BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA REFUSES TO COVER THE ISSUES EVEN THOUGH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ISSUE ONLINE, CLASS ACTION SUITS HAVE BEEN OPENED AND THERE IS A PETITION ONLINE TO GET THEM TO RECALL THIS ISSUE WITH OVER 6,000 SIGNATURES. MINE PERSONALLY HAS THE OIL LEAK AND I CAN SMELL BURNING OIL EVERY TIME I GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A LARGE OIL BURN STAIN ON THE EXHAUST WHERE THE OIL IS FALLING. APPARENTLY IT'S GOING TO TAKE A FIRE AND SOMEONE TO GET HURT BEFORE TOYOTA RECOGNIZES THIS ISSUE AND FIXES IT.
