Toyota dealerships (3 contacted), they want nothing to do with the problem and they "have not knowledge or recalls for the problem", (little hard to believed to me) the local mechanic found that there is a kit to fix the problem, drill and re-tap, insert new head bolts, new head gasket, back on the road. In October/2013 while driving on the road, my 2004 Toyota Rav4 start smoking from the engine compartment, pulled over and saw that it was coolant fluids all over the engine, towed to my local mechanic and after check it out, it was leaking from the top of the engine, results was the head bolts were loose and stripped from the block of the engine, and the head gasket was cracked, replaced the affected parts, new coolant, total cost $1874, the vehicle is back on the road, note to that is that the car has only 53000 miles, purchased new a Toyota dealership and it was only what it was driven. In conclusion, Toyota needs to work on this issue and they are losing loyal customers and we are spreading the word. I purchased this 'certified used' car in 2007 at sansone automall which can not be st to fix it will be used towards the purchase of a new non Toyota vehicle. I have a 2004 Toyota rav with only 76,970 miles which really was a great car- never any issues. Very disappointed with their service and for Toyota for not been proactive in dealing with this issue which seems to be growing as I have been researching and found many others this has happened to. We refused service and had the car towed home. We showed up but no one who inspected the car was there. Since I refused service, they asked us to leave the car, think about it and come back Saturday to speak to the mechanic and director.

Now I'm being told I need the headgasket replaced along with the engine ($1950 for headgasket and $4500 for used engine) oh and they made it a point to tell me that the 25 point inspection was free the last time I was there. Now, April 2016, my car overheated and I was able to drive it back to sansone with the heat on high on to keep it from overheating. During service check they found nothing wrong. Sansone automall NJ was notified and told me what to buy and fill it until my appt on 2/27. No engine core charge! Keep your old engine! If you have any questions we can address before purchase, feel free to contact us.Feb 2016 - while checking fluids I noticed the antifreeze level was low.
