Driving on rural highway the car heats up the coolant from the reservoir overflows. In the engine compartment affecting steering and your ability to drive because of the vapor fron the burning coolant . Repair man says head gasket is gone. . . . This is the third time now to replace the head gasket . Because the head bolts and threads all stripped due to bad engineering or improper torque by Toyotas engineering department . . . . I been rwading about this problem and found out that this is a very common probkem with these cars from 2003-2006 . . . I feel that if it was something simple to fix then Toyota would address the problem but since its seens like a new engine is the only fix for this problem so they are hush hush . . . Because it would be a costly recall for Toyota .
