Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Engine head gaskets are blown they were recalled once already and repaired in 12/1998 by previous owner. they have blown again on 11/1999. i contacted toyota about the problem since it was recalled once by them. they stated it had been repaired once for the recall and that was all they would cover. for me to contact dealer who repaired it (andrettis airport toyota) i did so they will not cooperate with me either. i feel that since it was recalled for this problem once and it has happened again that toyota should still be reponsibile for correcting because it is undoubtly still defective. a repair of that cost should last longer than 11 months. it should not be my place to have it repaired but i have to. *ak
