| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Head gasket replaced by toyota (special service campaign v06) at 109,574 miles. replacement head gasket failed suddenly at 189,000 miles, driving on level ground (40 mph), and without warning (no overheating or leaks). undrivable and had to be towed. plenty of complaints on the internet about repeated head gasket failures on these pickups (1990-95). called toyota corp, but they refuse to replace the gasket again at no cost because they claim that these vehicles were "fixed" with the replacement gasket. this truck does not haul or plow and has been mechanically well maintained. the head gasket replacement should not have failed. after reading many complaints about this problem on the internet, this issue most certainly needs to be investigated and recalled by toyota! *tr |
