Consumer Description
I was told of a coolant leak in my truck... Took it in to have it looked at and there is a bubble in the block that popped. Toyota current has the same issue with their 2.5 liter engines when a flow meter wasn't working properly causing issues with the casting of the engine blocks. I brought this to Toyota and they say its out of warrantee. This isn't a warranty issue its a safety issue now because if the vehicle looses all coolant it can overheat causing catastrophic failure to the engine. The service director told me personally that it wouldn't matter if I babied this truck or if I rode it hard the bubble would've popped either way. The pictures I sent are of the passenger side of the block on the left side of the motor mount.
