1999 Toyota Camry Engine cooling Problems

“Problem with 1999 Toyota Camry: in trying to pass a vehicle on a country road, the engine literally blew a hole. The RPM was just a little over 4,000. Thankfully, there was no vehicle coming from the other side and the other drivers on my side quickly slowed down to let me come back to my side of the road. Otherwise there could have been a major accident.”

“When I tried to start the car it made a loud noise and the engine was dead so my car had to be towed. The block of the engine has hole due to major engine mechanical failure. I had to have the engine replaced. I was told that the same kind of problem occurred on the same model year 2000 Toyota and they were recalled.”
