So far there have been about 30-40 documented cases of this nationwide. Toyota claims it was a "bad batch" used in 2/07 assembled trucks. 30/30,000 = not too bad IMO. Plus the fact Toyota is not fixing the engines, just replacing them speaks well of them. Anyway, Im just driving it like I stole it and if it goes, Ill just look forward to a new engine.

Its back page because the truth of the matter is that Toyota puts out better quality products. I wish the big 3 would follow in their steps.

Problem is the big 3 just can't afford to put out top quality on every vehicle they sell. They are carrying way too much dead weight costs from years past. I appologize to any Union workers, but paying someone upwards of $20 an hour to sweep floors is crazy. If we want quality american cars for a reasonable prices than that kind of stuff has to stop.

You can thank unions for that and for the fact that a 1903 designed Hardly Abletoo motorcycle sells for $16,000...LOL
