TIMING CHAIN COVER OIL LEAK I'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT MY TIMING CHAIN COVER IS LEAKING BY THE SERVICE AT THE TOYOTA DEALER. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND DISCOVERED IT'S QUITE FREQUENT AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR OVER A DECADE. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY TOYOTA AS IT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE. THE REPAIR IS CLOSE TO $2000 OUT OF POCKET. DO A QUICK SEARCH AND YOU WILL DISCOVER THE PROBLEM IS PERSISTENT AND FREQUENT AND TOYOTA IS TRYING TO TREAT IT AS A NORMAL WEAR ISSUE. WHICH IT IS NOT. PLEASE FORCE A RECALL OF THE TIMING CHAIN COVER IN THE 2010 TO PRESENT 4RUNNERS. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING ALONG AT SLOWER SPEEDS THE ENGINE SEEMS TO QUIT FOR ABOUT 5SEC THEN IT COMES ON AGAIN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION. THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYTIME.
