Blown head gasket is what is seems... reading the 100's of reviews, you can mark me down for another one biting the dust.. Calling tomorrow to see if it's on recall; oh wait, I can't because it's VETERANS DAY. If it is the head gasket, it has probably already been replaced.
Nice to know my money used from my blood, sweat, and tears while serving overseas went into this vehicle.
My fault for not checking into it I guess, or is it Toyota?
$6250 1 year ago - about $3000 grand at its best now... good job Toyota.
Looks great on the outside, but runs like crap!
I bought the same model you did after spending money I earned with "blood sweat and tears from serving my country" and it works just fine. Have close to 250,000 miles on it. Cars, especially old ones, require maintenance. Moving parts will fail after a decade plus of wear; that's just the way it is. Some require more, and some require less.
Thank you for your service to our country sir. Don't listen to the above comment. There are people on this thread who will make excuses for Toyota, no matter what problems they have and how serious. Toyota's are known for head gasket failures and many other serious problems. You just will not hear about them from the biased automotive media or Toyota's cult fan club (e.g., the previous comment). Sorry you had to learn the hard way.
