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.
Oil cooling hose broke and all engine oil leaked from engine. vehicle was in motion but made to parking spot. no warning of event and no dash/engine light signaling problem. only oil on ground under van signaled problem. van was subjected to recall in 2011 which replaced hose. dealer replaced parts as repair with a complete redesigned part removing rubber hosed all together. this was not a recall but owners expense. manufacturer never notified owner of this defective part or event possibility.
I was driving back from this weekend on a highway and i noticed a thumping noise coming from the front of the vehicle and then i noticed an engine light came on and instinctively i knew that was a bad sign for all six of us my family and friends. so i immediately exited the nearest exit ramp and that's when the engine stalled and i couldn't move any longer. we called our insurance company for towing and the cops to steer clear of oncoming traffic since we're on the second lane on the exit ramp. i thank god that nothing happened to us but it shouldn't happen to my vehicle with only 93,000 miles with regular maintenance and a clean driving record.
Oil cooler pressure hose explode while driving with my kids back from the church oil were leaking all over the street the car was smoking in front drivers were honking and scream your car is on fire and a nasty smoke where coming out of it. if i was not alerted by a good samaritan my kids and i will pay our lives. i called main office toyota and made a complain but they refused to help although this part 'hose is not used by toyota company for lack of safety. the supervisor was not listening and does not care about his consumers lives instead he said oh luckily some body told the car is smoking and we will do something about if it caught on fire or there is life lost. this respond is totally unacceptable he also refuse to email me a letter saying this part of the car was not recalled although it did.

I was told today that my cooler hose ruptured and i had to take it immediately to a auto repair shop. i was driving to work and the car started making a clicking noise and felt weird to drive. i got to work and was told to check the dip stick. was told it sounded like i had no oil. i was thinking, that wouldn't be right i just got an oil change about a week earlier. it was bare. completely empty. i then proceeded to get it to a repair shop as it was an emergency. the auto place told me that it needed a kit that they would have to buy to replace the cooler hose and would take awhile to fix this. it would be the only way to fix this. and they cant guarantee me the engine didnt get effected by this situation. i did my research on this issue and it is extremely dangerous and expensive. i am now out $500 and half a day at work. i was driving to work at 7:15am on highway 44 going ...
Toyota sienna 07 to 13 has oil cooler hose leakage problem,cause it made of rubber and aluminum,rubber part of this cause leakage,because engine oil goes from it with pressure and after some time rubber part goes bad and start leaking when you start the van it comes out,it happens with me twice,first my 07 sienna has happens i buy a used pipe from junk yard and fix it,after fifteen twenty days it happens again,all of a sudden on a free way my van heat up in left lane and stop engine,i almost got killed for this sudden stop,van has no oil left in engine and it heats up,i pull my van asside and find out that engine oil cooler pipe is off the hook and i am out of engine oil,how i come back its a different story,but when i call toyota dealer ship for recall they told me this is not a safety reason so l have to fix it myself,my question is that for there cheap material pipes i can got killed,my engine can go bad,but this is not a safety issue for them,can some one help me.
Driving car in town for about 10 minutes. stopped at friends house and noticed when i backed out a large oil puddle. got out and looked under car to see undercarriage covered in oil from front of car to midway down car. could not tell where it was coming from so i called tow truck to take to toyota dealership. they found small hole in oil cooler line was spraying oil out. it was half empty of all its oil in that short amount of time. the dealership told me it was going to cost me $360.00 to replace oil cooler lines. i was very lucky i had not driven very far or probably would have been catastrophic engine failure. after quick check on internet, this appears to be a common issue with oil supply lines in this and other model years. also looks like there is a new all metal oil supply line and a warranty extension (ze2), neither of which i was made aware of by my dealership and was very difficult for me to find.
Oil cooler piper ruptured after starting and driving the vehicle causing rapid oil loss while being driven to work. if i did not notice the puddle of oil left by my wifes car she would have driven it home and surely blown the engine. the part was replaced in 2010 during limited service recall but still burst 5 years later.
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 pens in the ashtray and cd's in the console, and for this, they claimed they could not perform the work. in addition to the above recalls, they were to inspect the dashboard for a fourth recall involving premature degradation of the assembly, which they declined to perform as well. *tr
I believe the product to be defective because of the issue that i had faced with this vehicle 2 weeks back while driving in the freeway. two weeks back while i was driving with my family (wife and 2 kids) the vehicle on 275 s freeway @ 70mph on 8th march 2015 1:00 am, the engine check light turned on and i noticed the engine heat indicator fluctuate like a fuel indicator. i tried to slow down, but by that time i lost the power of the vehicle , which made it really hard for me to steer the vehicle between the lanes and take it out of freeway to a shoulder, the brakes were not functioning either. it was one of my scariest ride i had in my life (you can imagine yourself, engine loosing power while driving in a freeway, i was with my entire family, and not having control on the vehicle), it put me and my family at such a big risk. glad i was able to some how take the vehicle out of the freeway and used the parking brake to bring the vehicle to a stop at a freeway shoulder @ 8 mile road ...
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. this is a well known problem with this part that toyota has done almost nothing to fix or prevent. we were extremely fortunate to have discovered this problem immediately. *tr
