Consumer Description
MY TUNDRA WITH 75,000 MILES HAS A CAMSHAFT TOWER LEAK AND THIS OIL IS FALLING INTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WITHOUT BEING NOTICED BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE IT TO THE FLOOR, BUT IT GETS TO THE SENSORS AND STARTS RUINING THEM. TOYOTA MOTOR CO KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE IN ALL THEIR 5.7L ENGINES AND THAT ITS A FACTORY ROBOT ERROR BY NOT APPLYING ENOUGH SEALANT IN THE GASKET. AND THIS IS JUST BEING FIXED IF YOU ARE EITHER UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE VEHICLES LOOSE POWER AND IF DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE LEAST THIS COMPANY CAN DO IS OFFER A VOLUNTARY RECALL BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO SO BECAUSE THE FIX WILL COST THEM $3500-$4000 FROM ALL THEIR 5.7L ENGINES ASSEMBLED IN THE U.S. SO FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MANY TOYOTA DRIVERS AND GENERAL HIGHWAY DRIVERS SAFETY, I HOPE THIS WOULD BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU
