NHTSA Complaint #710472 — 1993 TOYOTA CAMRY

TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A "SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN" FOR V6 TRUCKS MADE FROM 90 TO 94 AND EARLY 95. THE NOTICE I HAVE READ STATES THAT ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD GASKETS MAY LEAK AND TOYOTA WILL REPLACE THE GASKETS AND RESULTING DAMAGE AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. MY 1993 V6 CAMRY HAS THIS PROBLEM. I JUST CAME BACK FROM THE DEALER AND HAVE A CONFIRMED STATEMENT THAT I HAVE A HEAD GASKET PROBLEM AND MAYBE HEAD DAMAGE. I AM WONDERING IF THE CAMPAIGN INCLUDES THE V6 IN MY CAMRY AS IT IS THE SAME ENGINE USED IN THE TRUCKS. I DON'T KNOW THAT I WILL GET ACCURATE INFO BY TALKING WITH THE DEALER SO I'M CONTACTING YOU. IF MY CAR IS EXCLUDED, COULD YOU FIND OUT WHY GIVEN I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE SAME ENGINE. ARE THERE OTHER V6 CAMRY OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE A PROMPT ANSWER AS I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT OVERHEATS AND I DON'T WANT TO DO FURTHER DAMAGE. THANK YOU. PS: IS THERE ANOTHER CONSUMER GROUP I COULD CONTACT AS I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT TOYOTA ISN'T AS RELIABLE AS WE ARE LED TO BELIEVE. THANKS AGAIN.
