Engine Oil Leaking problems of the 2007 Toyota Sienna

Driving 55mph on frwy, van started smoking in the rear and oil on back of van. Slowly drove short distance home and lights on dash came on upon arriving home. Oil leaked on street where we parked. Had mobile mechanic look at it. Oil cooler hose had burst. He replaced it, we drove the van 50 miles on short trips. When on frwy, it happened again about 3 wks later. Had towed home. Same hose busted again. Looked on internet sites & found same problem has occurred to many people with same van year. Longterm ongoing problem. Called tejas Toyota in humble, TX and svc mgr said Toyota offered an extended warranty (knew there was a problem), but it ended at 100,000 miles/10yrs (we have 120, 900) and is 2007 van. We've already had it towed and fixed twice. We're recovering from near death/covid afraid to drive it since we can't trust it. Based on internet stories by others with same problem, & svc mgr at Toyota opinion, fear is warranted. Our van was repaired 2x w/ same type of inferior hose put on van when built by a mechanic not at Toyota. None of us realized inferior part was the problem. Now we need to repair it again with a "kit" that Toyota specifically made because this is known problem after we spent many 100s of $s repairing it using same type part when built. Wouldn't fix it when I called in 2015. It had to break 1st per Toyota when I checked on it in 2015 when got notice. Toyota should repair it at no cost & reimburse me for the expenses I've already had. My husband had covid and almost died and it happened the day after he was released from a month long covid hospital stay and again when I was taking him to therapy for covid 3 wks later. We could have had a accident, been injured, when the van stops with no notice or warning lights. Toyota corp. Takes no responsibility. It's our problem,not theirs. Can't drive van. Will happen again w/out warning. Help please!!!.

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.

2007 Toyota Sienna oil cooler line line has a pinhole leak never indicates that there is no oil or low oil pressure.

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.

While traveling at 75mph on interstate, I noticed heavy white smoke trailing vehicle. Slowed and pulled over. Inspected engine and found large oil leak. No check engine or low oil lights illuminated prior to smoke. Entire bottom of the car coated with oil, including exhaust system, front passenger tire and rear tires. No oil registered on dipstick. Towed to Toyota dealer where the car was purchased. Failed part was the oil cooler hose. Technician showed me the faulty rubber hose which had a pin-hole leak and there was barely one half quart in the engine, which holds 6. 4 quarts. Judging by how often I had been looking in the rear view mirror due to traffic, I'd estimate the leak was only a few minutes in length and the engine would have been without oil and at highway speed very soon if I hadn't noticed. This is not an extraordinary event until you realize that the oil hose that failed was part of Toyota's 90k oil cooler hose limited service campaign for 2gr-fe v6 engines in 2011. I had my car undergo this fix, which simply replaced a rubber hose with another rubber hose which was supposedly made from a compound that better resists hot oil. The replacement hoses are failing, which is what Toyota TSB-0201-11 "oil cooler seep" (Dec 21, 2011) is meant to cover and it replaces the rubber oil hoses with an all-steel hose. However, it only applies to customers still under the 36,000 mile warranty and with a "seeping" hose. Most 2007 Sienna owners, like me, were well past warranty mileage in 2011, had no indication from Toyota that the rubber oil hoses were potential problems and are only getting the steel hose after catastrophic engine oil loss. I was billed $532 for the oil cooler hose replacement and quoted $307 to replace the O2 sensor which was damaged by the volume of hot oil that sprayed on it. Huge oil loss at highway speeds. Toyota knows, but many owners do not.

The oil cooling line suddenly ruputured with no previous warnings or leaks.
