My car has the exact symptoms for a recall involving a crankshaft pulley, yet my vin is apparently not involved with that recall. my engine model 3mz-fe is involved with the recall yet toyota service dealerships and toyota customer experience both say it isn't. currently my car is not safe to drive according to the service dealership and a fee of roughly $800 awaits me. i do not understand how my make, model, model year, engine model, can all be related to a certain recall, and yet be told that my car does not qualify for that recall. i've been a loyal toyota customer for years recommending friends and family. extremely disappointed, and most likely won't purchase another toyota.

While driving on 4 lane highway, i began to smell burning rubber, then noticed that the battery discharge indicator light came on. found that the serpentine belt driving the alternator and compressor had been shredded and was hanging to the ground. upon a closer look, the crankshaft pulley had failed (it had come apart). it appeared that the outer ring had separated from the rubber inner ring of the pulley and the outer ring had become misaligned. the misalignment appeared to have caused the serpentine belt failure. it also caused damage to the timing belt cover, the timing belt and the power steering belt. the battery light came on because of the failed serpentine belt. fortunately, i maintained power steering because the power steering belt had not completely failed when i pulled off the highway. the failure seems to be identical to that covered by safety recall nhtsa campaign number: 11v539000. however, toyota claims that my vin number is not subject to the recall. toyota's response to me does not make sense since this is the same model, same model year, same engine model, same parts manufacture (pulley ...
First, i noticed some oil stains on my drive way, then i drove my minivan to a local toyota car dealer for check up and routine oil change. next day, i noticed a bigger oil stain. anyway, i had an appointment and have to drive my minivan to my dentist office, on the highway, i saw smoke came out of my front hood. then, i drove it to the same toyota dealer afterwards. it was quite scary driving and seeing smoke came out of my front hood especially with my young daughter on board today. at one moment, i thought my car will be on fire. on the paper, i was told that my leaking is from rack and pinion steering system. i called toyota customer service, and the person who assisted me state his surprise of this rack and pinion leaking for such a low mileage car. i would like to file a mechanical damage report toward toyota defective parts. *tr

I was driving home from work, after merge from rte 20 into rte 9, i drove up hill, about 50 yards to my street, i saw smoke behind my van, i did not see any warning light from my driving panel, my van was still running smoothly, so i decided to drive to my house (about 150 yards) away, after i parked my van, i saw smoke coming out from hood, and a long leaking oil track along the street. i checked my engine oil, it was ok. next morning, i started my van, it is still no warning light on my driving panel, i called aaa to get my van towed to toyota westborough ma. technician told me that my engine cylinder head got blown a hole and oil flying out to be burned and produced smoke, potentially it will catch fire if i continue to drive. i had my van oil changed on 08/2012 by sears shop, about 5,000 miles was driven since last oil changed. i believe the engine aluminum head was defective product, not because of other reason. it is very dangerous it happened while the van was running at highway. it could catch fire ...
