  MY 1993 TOYOTA 4-RUNNER HAS GONE THROUGH FOUR HEAD GASKETS IN THE LAST SEVEN YEARS. AND NOW IT NEEDS A FIFTH! TOYOTA ACTUALLY REPLACED THE FIRST TWO AT NO COST. TOYOTA HAD ISSUED A RECALL ON THE HEAD GASKET (THOUGH I RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM THE DEALER).

• 09/14/2000· POWER TRAINCrash

  THIS 4RUNNER HAS ALWAYS BEEN A BIT DIFFICULT TO GET IN AND OUT OF REVERSE. IT CAN TAKE SEVERAL TIRES, AND SOMETIMES MOVING THE CLUTCH IN AND OUT UNTIL YOU GET IT "JUST RIGHT" AND REVERSE IS FOUND. ON 8/22/00 I LEFT IT IDLING IN MY DRIVEWAY, A FLAT DRIVEWAY, WHILE I RAN IN THE HOUSE FOR A FORGOTTEN ITEM. I RETURNED ABOUT 20 SECONDS LATER TO SEE THE 4RUNNER BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, ON ITS OWN. IT BACKED ACROSS THE STREET AND UP THE NEIGHBORS STEEP LAWN, THEN WENT BACK INTO NEUTRAL AND ROLLED DOWN THE EMBANKMENT, BACK ACROSS THE STREET, THROUGH OUR YARD AND OVER A RETAINING WALL. I WONDER IF THE DIFFICULTY WITH REVERSE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS EXPENSIVE EXCURSION......IF YOU NEED MORE INFO, DON'T HESITATE TO EMAIL ME.

  FUEL PRESSURE DAMPER FAILED SPILLING FUEL ONTO EXHAUST CROSSOVER. I HAD AN ODOR OF FUEL COMING FROM VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH. UNABLE TO LOCATE ISSUE. FUEL SMELL WOULD ALSO COME THROUGH THE A/C INTO THE CABIN. UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I CAME ACROSS MANY FORUM THREADS WITH OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND MANY FIRES HAVE STARTED DUE TO THIS FAILURE. CLUES TO FAILURE ARE ERRATIC RPM DUE TO LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE AND STRONG ODOR OF FUEL COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. MANY OWNER COMPLAINTS ON FORUM THREADS. GRANTED IT IS AN OLDER VEHICLE, BUT MANY THREADS ARE FROM OVER 10 YEARS AGO INDICATING THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER VEHICLE WAS 15 YEARS OLD. PART COSTS OVER $200 AND I AM MAKING REPAIRS MYSELF TO AVOID FURTHER LABOR COSTS. HTTPS://WWW.YOTATECH.COM/FORUMS/F116/3ZVE-FUEL-PULSATION-DAMPENER-188341/

  I OWN A 1993 TOYOTA 4RUNNER 3.0 L WITH APPROXIMATELY 150K MILES ON IT. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY HEAD GASKET BLEW CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SEIZE. I WAS STUCK ON THE 395N IN WASHINGTON, DC IN THE COLD FOR 3 HOURS BEFORE THE TOW TRUCK CAME WITH MY 1 YEAR OLD SON. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THE 3.0 ENGINES HAD A RECALL ON IT FOR THE HEAD GASKETS BACK IN 1996. I CALLED TOYOTA AND GAVE THEM MY VIN ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MY CAR ISN'T ELIGIBLE. I THINK THAT IT IS UNFAIR TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET FOR THESE REPAIRS FOR SOMETHING THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS AT FAULT. PLEASE HELP ME, I AM AN E-4 IN THE NAVY WITH A 1 YEAR OLD SON. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY $1500 IN REPAIRS.*AK
