THE FRONT LOWER OIL COOLER PRESSURE HOSE (TOYOTA PART NO. 15767 31010) STARTED SPRAYING OIL OUT WHILE THE VAN WAS BEING DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WITH YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR. HAD THIS OCCURRED AT A HIGHER SPEED (ON A HIGHWAY), ALL THE OIL WOULD HAVE SPRAYED OUT AND THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE SEIZED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR THE VAN COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS PART THAT TOYOTA HAS DONE ALMOST NOTHING TO FIX OR PREVENT. WE WERE EXTREMELY FORTUNATE TO HAVE DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. *TR

IN APPROXIMATELY THE SUMMER OF 2012 (I DO NOT RECALL THE EXACT DATE),TOYOTA RECALLED THE SPARE TIRE SUSPENSION CABLE, BUT DID NOT HAVE A REPAIR AT THE TIME. I WAS INCONVENIENCED FOR MONTHS WITH THE SPARE TIRE IN THE BACK OF MY VAN. THE REPAIR WAS EVENTUALLY COMPLETED, HOWEVER, A RECALL FOR THE REPAIR WAS ISSUED IN THE SUMMER OF 2014. THE SPARE TIRE WAS REMOVED AND AGAIN PLACED IN THE BACK OF MY VAN. TOYOTA IS NOW STATING THAT THERE WILL BE NO REPAIR AVAILABLE UNTIL THE SUMMER OF 2015. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND NOT UNDERSTANDABLE. IT IS SIMPLY AN ATTACHMENT FOR THE SPARE TIRE. AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED WITH TOYOTA, AS WELL. I NEED THE SPACE WHERE THE SPARE TIRE CURRENTLY HAS TO BE, HOWEVER, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITHOUT IT IN MY VEHICLE. *TR
