1995 Toyota 4Runner SR5 review from North America
"I love my 4runner except for head gasket problem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew at 122,000 miles
and again at 144,000
and now today it is starting to do it again at 156,000
replaced starter at 150,000 (okay)
General comments?
I went to toyota dealership when it first blew the head gaskets to see if there was a recall
they said none.
I emailed Toyota Corp. they said there were no recalls.
I called again the second time it happened and they still said no.
Mechanic told me "you drive too much"
I heard from other people that there is a recall.
