THE BRAKE AND FUEL LINES ON MY TOYOTA PICK UP (VIN T4VNO1D9N2O12572) HAVE BEEN SUFFERING FROM AN ACCLERATED RATE OF CORROSION (FAR BEYOND ANY OTHER UNDERBODY COMPONENT INCLUDING THE SHEET METAL) AND HAVE BEEN LEAKING AND FAILING FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. THESE LINES APPEAR TO BE ACTING AS A SACRIFICIAL ANODE FOR AN ELECTRICALLY INDUCED CORROSION COMPARED TO ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS SUCH AS RAIN SNOW AND SALT. WHILE MY VEHICLE IS OLD THE SINGULARITY OF THE CORROSION OF THE BRAKE AND FUEL LINES COMPARED TO THE OTHER PARTS OF THE THRUCK INDICATES THIS IS NOT MERELY AN AGE ISSUE. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE FAILURES OF THESE LINES ARE SPILLED GASOLINE & FIRE AND LOSS OF BRAKES/INABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD MOST OF THE FUEL LINES REPLACED AND AM NOW LOOKING FOR THE GARAGE/REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE IT TOWED TO HAVE THE REST OF THE FUEL AND BRAKE LINES REPLACED. I HAVE KEPT SOME OF THE OLD FUEL LINE PIECES AND INTEND TO KEEP SOME OR ALL OF THE OLD BRAKE LINES WHEN THEY ARE REMOVED. *AK

THIS MODEL OF TRUCK ROTORS WARP LIKE CRAZY. I HAD NEW ROTORS PUT ON 2 DAYS AGO, AND THEY ARE ALREADY WARPING AGAIN WITH NO HARD STOPS. FIXING THE PROBLEM IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY, SO I DRIVE AROUND WITH EXTREMELY WARPED ROTORS(I.E. FAULTY BRAKES). I SUSPECT MOST EVERYONE ELSE WHO OWNS THIS MODEL TRUCK DOES THE SAME THING. TH…

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
