Oil line ruptured due to rubber failure. This oil line was replaced in 2012 with same line as originally installed. Failure can be catastrophic for engine as oil is discharged quickly and with no warning or indication. Vehicle was in motion on a highway when odor and noise made me stop and check. Had to be towed and repaired. Cost over 500.00.

On 4/10/15, i took the vehicle to motor imports service center for prearranged warranty service work on the vehicle. Motor imports declined to perform the warranty work, alleging that the vehicle was "too dirty" to perform, even though at least two of the recalls would involve no area of the interior. With respect to the interior, the shift assembly was allegedly "blocked" by a newspaper on the console, as well as…

The front lower oil cooler pressure hose (toyota part no. 15767 31010) started spraying oil out while the van was being driven under normal operating conditions in a residential neighborhood with young children in the car. Had this occurred at a higher speed (on a highway), all the oil would have sprayed out and the engine would have seized. This could have caused an accident or the van could have caught on fire.…
