| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 03 camry manifold at 45k took car to dealer with complaint of knocking/vibration coming from engine. dealer replaced water pump under warranty and recommended tensioner be replaced, out of warranty item, to fully correct noise. noise persisted and i learned to deal with it since it wasn't harming the engine. progressively got more annoying and at 58k took back to dealer. sservice rep listened to it for 2 minutes and said it was the intake manifold which would cost $591 for parts and labor. i decided not to leave car and have work done again since it was not harming the engine and more of a nuisance than anything. at 60,500k i e-mailed toyota and asked about the emissions warranty coverage and was told the intake manifold was covered up to 60k or 5 yrs. i only have self to blame for not being proactive sooner, but toyota should own up to this rather common problem. please note that i was told by toyota that "the warranty coverage for the intake manifold is 5 yrs or 60,000 which ever comes first from the vehicles date of first use..."*jb |
