1995 Toyota 4Runner SR5 review from North America
"Great for 10 years, then it went to #@$%@"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dealer replaced head gasket at 70,000 miles. I believe it was done under the recall. Had water pump and timing belt done at same time.
Had entire cooling system replaced at 115,000 miles (had cracks in radiator) Also had clutch done (normal wear).
At 140,000 miles I had the head gasket blow which cost $2500. This included timing belt, thermostat, water pump, and head work.
General comments?
I am another victim of the Toyota head gasket problem. I am selling it immediately and never buying another Toyota. If any hears of a lawsuit against Toyota please email me at a1todd1@msn.com. Thanks and good luck to all of you in the same boat.
