I bought a toyota saquoia limited 4x4 used in 2003. When I tookit to a friends house her husband siad I should get that ticking noise checked out. I told him that all of the suv's at the dealership made the ticking noise. Well, he was right. When I took it in to be inspected I was told that I had a cracked manifold. The mechanic said that all of the toyota suv's and trucks have problems with their manifolds. If this is true, why have they not done a recall to correct the problem? I manifold is not a cheap part to replace.

hands are tied, due to toyota's consumption policy. I have taken this to the regional zone manager with no success.
