1993 Toyota Pickup Engine Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the engine system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Engine reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES W/ENGINE AND NOTIFIED PRIOR OWNER AND ADVISED ME RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL FOR HEAD GASKET, IMMEDIATELY CALLED LOCAL DEALER REGARDING RECALL AND THEY CLAIMED VEHICLE HAD BEEN SERVICED ALREADY (IN ANOTHER STATE) AND NOTHING THEY COULD DO, BUT OWNER STATE THAT IS FALSE HE OWNED VEHICLE AT THAT TIME AND HE HAD NEVER TOOK IN FOR SERVICE RECALL. IN THE MEANTIME CONDITION GOT WORSE, AND NOW LEAKING WATER AND HEAD GASKET NEEDS REPLACED. THE DEALER WON'T SERVICE IT, TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE IS NONRESPONSIVE. ALL I GET FROM THEM IS EMAIL THANKING ME FOR CONCERN AND HOPE IT WAS RESOLVED, IN THE MEANTIME I NOW DON'T HAVE A VEHICLE TO DRIVE AND CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I COULD UNDERSTAND THEY NOT FIXING IT BECAUSE OF DAILY USE OR NO WARRANTY ETC. BUT I HAVE SEEN MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ON SEVERAL WEB SITES REGARDING THE HEAD GASKET THIS ENGINE. SO IT IS AN OBVIOUS ISSUE THEY SHOULD AT LEAST LOOK AT IF NOT REPAIR. *TR
