Owner Complaints (2)
Your truck has a cam tower leak where oil is dripping directly onto the exhaust manifold. According to the service technician, if this leak worsens, the oil could ignite and cause an engine fire. You've documented oil burning or leaking since you purchased the truck at 43,000 miles, but Toyota didn't identify the specific leak until now at 107,192 miles. The repair will likely involve replacing the faulty cam tower seal and possibly related gaskets to stop the oil leak.

UNBURNT FUEL IS ENTERING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND COMBUSTING WHEN IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTORS. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FROM THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT. TOOK THE TRUCK TO DICK HANNAH TOYOTA IN LONGVEIW WA. THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS. THE TALKED TO THE FACTORY BUT NOBODY HAS A SOLUTION. THE DEALER TRIED A SIMILAR TRUCK AND GOT THE SAME RESULTS. THEY TALKED TO THE TOYOTA FIELD REP. AND HE STATED HE COULD MAKE THIS HAPPEN TO HIS TUNDRA WHEN EVER HE WANTED? THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE INCRUISE CONTROL ALSO.
