Consumer Description

TOOK TRUCK IN TO GET OIL CHANGED AND GET A TUNE-UP, MECHANIC TELLS ME I HAVE A BLOWN GASKET. TALKED TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP NEAR ME, SAID THAT IT WAS A RARE PROBLEM AND IT WAS GOING TO COST AT LEAST $1500 TO REPAIR. CALLED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, SAID IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. CALLED TOYOTA'S "CUSTOMER SERVICE" AFTER READING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT AT "SECRET WARRANTY" FOR THIS PROBLEM. "CUSTOMER SERVICE" INDICATED MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE CAMPAIGN TO FIX THE PROBLEM.*AK
