1999 Toyota 4RUNNER Engine cooling Problems

“I was driving my 1999 Toyota 4-runner, down the road when all of a sudden I heard a grinding noise, instantly the engine started to shake and then loud grinding noise, the car quit and oil everywhere. I had thrown a rod. No warning at all. Service maintenance maintained. No reason for the engine to blow!”

“I have 99 4 RUNNER and as I was driving down the highway my vehicles engine died, I had to cut across traffic without power brakes or steering. I spoke to the dealer about my problem and they gave me an estimate of around $1000 dollars, if u look on the internet there seems to be a lot of people with this same issue,I think there needs to be a recall concerning this issue because it is possible to cause a collision under certain circumstances. Thanks”

“Dt: the contact stated the vehicle stalls and the dealer has been unable to resolve. The contact is unsure if this is the engine and the transmission. The vehicle also has a continuous knocking sound, and a intermittent stalling problem. Also the vehicle has a vibration when it is accelerating over 50 miles per hour.”

“#1 starter stuck twice-even removed key and engine kept cranking. #2 fuel guage reaes full when empty and vise versa. #3 p0171 engine code keeps throwing #4 brakes fade when applied hard. Have replaced pads and rotors and still fade.”

“"threw a rod" while hwy driving. Engine seized. All scheduled maintenance on time including oil changes. Last oil change 2 months prior. No warning.”
