Engine Oil Leaking Problems of Toyota 4Runner

Timing chain cover oil leak I've been informed that my timing chain cover is leaking by the service at the Toyota dealer. I researched the problem online and discovered it's quite frequent and has been an issue for over a decade. This should be covered by Toyota as it is clearly a defect in the engine. The repair is close to $2000 out of pocket. Do a quick search and you will discover the problem is persistent and frequent and Toyota is trying to treat it as a normal wear issue. Which it is not. Please force a recall of the timing chain cover in the 2010 to present 4runners. Thank you, michael cox.

I had 20,000 miles and bought the veichle brand new and went to leave work and my veichle was struggling to stay going and my check engine light was flashining. When I'd go to reverse the vehicle would struggle and act like it was going to die. I had to go 20mph on the side roads about 15 miles to the dealer. The rpm shouldn't shift. It was caused by a mouse I guess? since they use soy base and see this a lot. So fustrating when you pay $38,000 for a veichle. I'd much rather drive my older 2010 Honda that never had an issue with so called a mouse. They of course wouldn't cover it. To top it off I had a major oil leak at 19,000 miles causing about $6,000 worth of damage. Which was the factory's fault they said. It was covered by warrenty, but still it's ridiculous. I bought the car new. With 1 mile on it, fresh off the truck. As of right now I have no faith in Toyota. I'm afraid my veichle will break down on me. Which I shouldn't have to feel when I buy a new car. So disappointed in Toyota. Something needs to be done.

Engine stop running, because of slug build up in 4 runner engine 1997. Other cars in the Toyota line have same problem and they are fixing the engine for free, but not the 4 runner. They have 3 models that are doing the same thing, the engine are slugging up and cause engine failure. They said this model does not fall in that line, and will cost me $9,000 to fix, but first they quote me $5000. The oil has been changed every 3000 miles or so, not all by the dealer. The dealer seen this problem with my vehicle and did not say anything to me until it was to late and not reversible, to get money out of the consumer. I had 3 other cars with where Honda's and they never had this problem, and two of those Honda's had over 200,000 miles and the oil was changed at the same intervals as the 4 runner. Do you think the consumers have that kind of money to fixed something like this. $9000 for a rebuilt engine, you can buy a used very good Honda for this price. This car still have a lean on it. Toyota's suppose to be good cars, with bad engines. All my problems start when I took my car in for a recall on shocks and after that the engine start leaking oil and smoking when I started the engine. The dealer did something to my car and now I have to pay for it????????????.
