OTHER
I HAD JUST CHANGED MY OIL IN APRIL 2, 2001 AND I HAD DRIVEN IT ABOUT 3,000 MILES AND I STARTRD TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. MY OIL PRESSURE GUAGE NEVER GAVE ME ANY WARNINGS THAT I WAS LOW ON OIL. ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS DRIVING IT TO WORK AND THERE WAS THIS TERRIBLE NOISE, I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN IT EXCEPT FOR ABOUT 1/4 QUART. IWAS IN SHOCK BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS TOOK CARE OF MY CARS. I HAVE A 1982 TOYOTA TRUCK WITH 148,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS STILL RUNNING. I FEEL THERE WAS A DEFAULT IN THE MECHANISM SOMEWHERE. THE MECHANIC SAID THE OIL WAS GOING THRU THE ENGINE AND EVAPORATING THRU THE EXHAUST. THAT IS WHY I SHOWED NO LEAKS IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR THE LOSS OF OIL. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY SITUATION? SHOULD I CONTACT TOYOTA ? THANK YOU.*AK

STEERING
THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR A TOYOTA T100 4X4. THE PITMAN ARM BROKE WHILE BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY RENDERING THE TRUCK UNSTEERABLE. HAD THIS BROKE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A (PROBABLY FATAL) ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. SINCE THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY TOYOTA WILL NOT PAY TO REPAIR IT. HOWEVER THE PART IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE FROM THE DAY THE TRUCK WAS BUILT. IT JUST TOOK TEN YEARS FOR THE PART TO FINALLY FAIL.
