Toyota T100 Engine problems by year

HEAD GASKET. *TR

Dt*: the contact stated while driving 30 mph on normal road conditions, the vehicle rode rough and at one point, overheated and blew a head gasket. The vehicle was taken to the nearest independent mechanic shop, who determined the head gasket was defective and caused severe engine damage. No repairs were made. The manufacturer was contacted, and determined that the recall on this issue had expired in 2004.

Heard a loud rattle in engine. Disassembly discovered broken head of connecting rod bolt. Resulted in damage to connecting rod bearing; requires engine overhaul and piston/ connecting rod replacement. Extremely expensive. *Nm

Recall part defective in 1993 toyota t 100 .. We had our head gasket replaced during the recall and 40,000 miles later our truck is completely disabled due to this same problem! It is a very costly repair for a part that I see by doing a search online is being reported as having many repeat occurrences with consumers. My vehicle is worth over $5000 at least if it ran that is. The repair by the dealership has been denied and contacting the manufacturer has been useless. Both basically say its my problem but I feel its not since people who purchased toyota trucks known to have problem are still stuck with this major defect on a part that should last the life of your vehicle. *Jb

While driving 55 mph vehicle stalled. Consumer tried to restart vehicle, but was unable to do so. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the head gasket needed to be replaced due to worn out parts. Driver informed the mechanic that this problem occurred more than on one occasion. *Ak

Consumer called complaining about having problems with the antifreeze is leaking into the engine block and then is been pass into the exhaust system which consumer thinks is burning it and passing a white smoke that goes in to his house and giving him severe headaches. Dealer was contacted and stated that will only give him a certain amount of money and not be responsible of anything else if there is anything else wrong with the vehicle. Ts

Drivers seatbelt will only buckle if consumer pushes release button to slide latch into buckle. *Ak consumer was informed by dealer that seat belt was no longer under warranty and they would not replace it.*Slc

The vehicle was recalled due to faulty head gaskets, had them replaced by dealer in 1998 and at that time the dealer stated toyota knew there was a problem with engine. The head gasket has again "blown" and I had to pay for this second repair from my own pocket. I want to know why toyota, knowing the problem with the engine, won't repair it a second time...Or if they will reimburse me the money I had to put out (1,300 dollars) for repairs and car rental.*Ak

While traveling over a mountain at approximately 60+ mph, and vehicle being in overdrive, automatic transmission overheated. Temperature light came on dashboard which required consumer to take vehicle out of overdrive until transmission cooled down. *Ak *jb

Engine head gasket blew out. Vehicle had a tune up a week ago, the car is idling roughly. *Ak

EGR VALVE AND SWITCH FAILED. NLM

NO SUMMARY

Head gasket was replaced by dealer at no cost,but I also needed to repalce the timing belt according to the dealer. The drive train has a warranty for 60,000 miles,and I purchased an extended warranty for six years or 100,000 miles. You would think the timing belt should be replaced at no charge with a truck with such low mileage. My extra warranty was useless in this matter according to the dealer. If I didn't have it fixed they would say I didn't do proper maintance to the truck making my warranty void.I was in a catch 22 situation. Ifeel the dealer or toyota should refund my $185 for installing the timing belt.

Head gasket cracked and engine leaks coolant. Manufacturer replaced both head gaskets at no charge and is unwilling to report the number and frequency of failed head gaskets in the 3.4Liter v6 engine. Would appreciate receiving any information about this problem which has been logged with nhtsa. I am concerned about the long term ramifications of this defect in the engine.
