On oct 7,2010,we purchased a 2010 Toyota Tundra. Our vehicle is 2 months old and has already had a catastrophic engine failure. The vehicle has 2276 miles. While driving home from work my husband heard a loud bang. He pulled over and oil was gushing every where. He had it towed to the local Toyota dealer. We were told the vehicle threw a rod and went into the bottom part of the engine, requiring a complete engine rebuild. Has not been repair yet, awaiting parts. We were also told, there had been other vehicles with bad rods. The only thing Toyota wants to offer me is a platinum warranty-8yrs,125,000 miles. I haven't decided yet because I would like to know if there have been similar cases such as ours. Our local Toyota service department has been pretty good considering we did not purchase the vehicle locally.
Another Toyota recall??? my new 2010 Toyota Tundra with 2,500 miles had a catastrophic engine failure while driving on the freeway (the engine blew out on the truck). I was driving on the freeway when I heard a loud bang. I pulled over and engine oil was dumping out of the engine onto the ground. I had the truck towed to stevinson west Toyota - they took the engine apart and found multiple holes in the engine block. They are still not telling me the source of this engine failure. Toyota is telling me this is a one time occurrence, but I have been finding multiple problems with other Tundra's (2007-2010), including a USA today article from 2007, "Toyota fixing engine failures in new Tundra trucks. " and, while our truck has been in the shop, we spoke with another Tundra owner (2009; in the same shop) who had a similar issue. . Read more...
