2008 Toyota Sequoia Engine problems

A valve spring in the engine failed causing one cylinder to fail as well. The failure fortunately happened at low speed and the engine didn't seize. This a known problem with Toyota V8s of this model year and was the reason for a recall of Lexus vehicles with the same engine. Had this happened at highway speed, the engine, we were told, could have experienced a total failure causing the engine to seize likely leading to a serious accident. The car is available for inspection at the moment, but this failure requires...

Good afternoon, during the drive-thru and the car, started to shake, and the engine stops. After that, I contacted the tow-truck and brought it to toyota dealer. The dealer has finally opened the engine, and the result was the valve spring was broken in half, and the spark plug also melted. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 toyota sequoia. The contact stated that he took the vehicle to a dealer for unknown service in march 2010 and immediately after, he noticed oil leaking from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where they were unable to locate the source of the oil leak. The vehicle was released to the contact yet the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer a third time and the dealer replaced the o-ring. The failure stopped however within several days, the failure recurred. The manufacturer advised taking the vehicle to a different dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were approximately 10,000.

Engine oil seepage (or slow leak) at the cam housing and engine head connection (gasket seam) area, above the exhaust manifold, on the right-hand-side engine cylinder bank. Oil first detected at 9,000 miles (vehicle was purchased new). Concern: possible engine fire if the oil seepage becomes worse over the course of additional miles driven. Oil seepage should not occur in an engine this new - especially in areas near a hot exhaust manifold. Other similar toyota v8 engines appear clean at the same area - no...

After 4,399 mi. The left exhaust manifold cracked and produced a ticking sound on acceleration and exhaust fumes can be smelled through the vents when fan is on. As per dealers advice, it's ok to use vehicle pending repair. It's been 5 days and the part hasn't arrived yet. Contacted dealer few times to facilitate repair. *Tr

Whenever I drive up hill or just speed up, the bad smell of rotten eggs comes into the vehicle interior even with the windows roll up and with the recalculating vent button on. *Tr
