1995 Toyota 4Runner review from North America
"Not sure if I would buy one again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have owned my 1995 4 Runner for seven years...
Started having problems about three years ago when the #6 plug kept fouling... took it to the mechanic four times to have the plug replaced...
In 2007 took it in for the same reason... car was missing badly... they took it apart and said the #6 head was shot... head gasket was blown... they repaired it, $1,870...
Almost two years to the day, noticed car missing badly, bad shaking at idle... took it to my mechanic... #6 head blown again... gasket shot... now needs even more extensive work... well over $3,000 to fix everything that this blown head gasket has caused.
Two blown head gaskets within two years... that's a joke.. Toyota should be held responsible for this shoddy workmanship... anyone want to buy a super clean Toyota, with a blown engine.. (LOL) Seriously, they should not be allowed to get away with this...
Anyone have any ideas as who to call at Toyota,
I'd like to give them my two cents worth.. if nothing else..
