2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

The contact owns a 2012 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while plowing his driveway, there was an abnormal burning odor detected. The vehicle suddenly lost power. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that oil was needed. The mechanic became aware that oil was dripping through a small crack on the cam shaft on the right cylinder bank onto the exhaust manifold. The contact was informed that the engine wiring harness was burned. The mechanic recommended that the engine and transfer case be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and the contact was informed after an investigation, that there was no evidence of a defect. The claim was denied. There was no additional assistance provided. The approximate failure mileage 175,000.

AFTER ONLY A FEW MONTHS OF OWNING THE TRUCK ALMOST EVERY MORNING WHEN I TRY TO START THE TRUCK IT TOOK AT LEAST 2 CRANKING CYCLES TO START. IT'S BEEN A ON GOING THING AND NOW THE THROTTLE ACTS UP WHEN I FIRST PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. IT DOESN'T GIVE ANY CODE AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. THE TRUCK NOW HAS 36322 MILES ON IT. *TR
