TOYOTA 4RUNNER 1995 BLOWN HEAD GASKETS
No injuries · No fire · No crash
MY HEAD GASKET IS BLOWN. THE DUMMY PANEL DID NOT SHOW OVERHEATING BUT STEAM OR SMOKE WAS VISIBLE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. COOLANT WAS LEAKING WHEN PARKED BUT THE RADIATOR IS FULL. TOYOTA SAYS MY VIN SAYS IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN NOV 1995 MY REGISTRATION PAPERWORK SAYS IT WAS FIRST REGISTERED OCTOBER 1995. AS WITH MANY OTHERS, TOYOTA SAYS IT IS NOT INCLUDED. HOW MANY REPORTS MUST BE MADE BEFORE IT IS A COVERED PROBLEM? OR IS THERE NO CHANGE TIL LAWYERS GET INVOLVED? *TR
