| The vehicle was recalled due to faulty head gaskets, had them replaced by dealer in 1998 and at that time the dealer stated toyota knew there was a problem with engine. the head gasket has again blown and i had to pay for this second repair from my own pocket. i want to know why toyota, knowing the problem with the engine, won't repair it a second time...or if they will reimburse me the money i had to put out (1,300 dollars) for repairs and car rental.*ak | |||

| Head gasket was replaced by dealer at no cost,but i also needed to repalce the timing belt according to the dealer. the drive train has a warranty for 60,000 miles,and i purchased an extended warranty for six years or 100,000 miles. you would think the timing belt should be replaced at no charge with a truck with such low mileage. my extra warranty was useless in this matter according to the dealer. if i didn't have it fixed they would say i didn't do proper maintance to the truck making my warranty void.i was in a catch 22 situation. ifeel the dealer or toyota should refund my $185 for installing the timing belt. | |||
