Tl* the contact owns a 1994 toyota 4runner. While driving approximately 55 mph, the contact heard a popping sound from under the vehicle and noticed an abnormal odor of oil. The contact stopped the vehicle and upon exiting, noticed a flame under the front driver side. The fire department was called and reported to the scene. A fire report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics or repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

A couple of years after purchasing this toyota 4-runner there was a recall due to faulty head gaskets. They leaked. A recall was (supposedly) done. 100,000 miles later the same problem had to be fixed again. I contacted toyota and was informed that they were only responsible for one fix. That would be nice if they had actually fixed it. A (fix) implies that it has been really fixed. Head gaskets are not supposed to leak . . . Ever! So i am wondering of they really accomplished a fix the first time. Obviously not since it cost me $2000 to get it fixed again for the exact same problem. If they did attempt a fix they certainly must have used inferior of defective parts since the same problem needed to be fixed again. I think there ought to be a law that if a recall (fix) fails and need to be done over the manufacturer should be liable for the redo. Thank you *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 1994 toyota 4runner . The contact noticed that the frame was rusted, which has caused the control arm to fall off. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer had been notified and the vehicle was not repaired or inspected. The current and failure mileages were 291,000.

This is a failure that has no events leading up to it . I own a 1994 toyota 4 runner with 4 wheel drive. The harmonic balancer has broken more than 3 times on this vehicle. It seems that the key that fits into the slot on the crank shaft is too short. The key that fits into the slot also keeps the harmonic balancer in place as it also has a slot for the key to fit into. When this happens it is sudden and gives you little or no time to react. All of the instrument lights come on at once and the steering and brakes fail causing loss of control. I have spoken with dozens of mechanics and toyota owners and they all say this is a common problem with this vehicle. This is not only a safety hazard but also a costly repair. This happened to my car again for the fourth time recently. *tr

Engine blown head gasket caused water to leak into engine causing engine failure. Toyota repaired under recall several years ago. Now the same problem occurred and now it will cost me $1,900.00 to repair their poor quality, or craftsmanship. Why can't we get toyota to warranty this problem for the life of the car. I have read hundreds of posts regarding this matter, and we cannot get fair results from anyone. My friend had toyota offer him $500.00 towards the purchase of a new toyota, pretty funny offer. *tr
