IN SEPT 2003, 1995 TOYOTA 4RUNNER (3V2-E -V6) EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER, POOR GAS MILEAGE. SAN FRANSICSO TOYOTA INVESTIGATED AND RECOMMENDED TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AT $10,000. (PAPERWORK AVAILABLE.) TOOK TO INDEPENDENT SHOP FOR REBUILT FOR $3000. IN DECEMBER 2003, 1995 TOYOTA 4RUNNER CONTINUES LOSS OF POWER. PALO ALTO TOYOTA INVESTIGATES AND DISCOVERS HEAD GASKET LEAK FOR VALVE #6. I INQUIRED ABOUT 4RUNNER HEAD GASKET RECALL. INFORMED THAT SERVICE NOTICE DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE VIN, EVEN THOUGH TOYOTA CAMPAIGN NOTICE IS CONSISTENT WITH HEAD GASKET FAILURE. DEALER DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY SERVICE BREAKS FROM MFG. TOTAL PRICE PAID WAS $3800, AND DEALER PROVIDED NO CAR RENTAL. I BELIEVE FIRST TOYOTA DEALER INCORRECTLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND ALL CAR FAILURE ARE CONSISTENT WITH TOYOTA SERVICE CAMPAIGN NOTICES FOR HEAD GASKETS FOR VEHICLE. TOYOTA SHOULD COVER COST OF HEAD GASKET PARTS AND LABOR AND INITIAL INCORRECT DIAGNOSIS BY SAN FRANCISCO TOYOTA.*AK

A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IS LOOKING TO REPLACE A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION ON MY DAUGHTER'S 1995 4RUNNER. THE TRUCK HAS 80000 MILES-THAT IS ONLY 10000 MILES PER YEAR AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE MILES ARE HIGHWAY MILES. IT HAS NEVER GONE OFF ROAD.*AK THE TRUCK HAS BEEN MAINTAINED; IT WAS ALSO INCLUDED IN A TOYOTA RECALL FOR BAD HEAD GASKETS WHERE THE UPPER HALF OF THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE IF IT ONLY LASTED 80000 MILES BUT OF COURSE IT IS OUT OF MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY.
