<p>[QUOTE="Rich Clough, post: 4919"]</p><p>Son was borrowing car. on highway, oil light came on. he couldnt pull over, once able, went to convenience store, checked dipstick. NO OIL showed on dipstick. put in 1... then 2... then 3 quarts of oil... started truck, oil light off and drove away... got down the road, oil light back on. Told him to pull over and we had truck towed to our mechanic. confirmed it was the oil cooler hose (OIL EVERYWHERE). replace the part with the newly designed part (metal vs. rubber as I understand it). Picked up truck today. Deep Knocking sound... in the belly of the motor. Gets louder as i drive... feel a definite loss in power... vibration in my seat as I drive (i.e. not a wheel)... SOOOOO disappointed. Toyota needs to stand by this. The question isnt whether or not the motor is going to seize, it is when... Is it 100 miles, 50K miles... dont know, but until it happens, my wife will be driving my Tundra (which she is not happy about) because I dont want her in the car when the thing blows up....</p><p></p><p>Side note, My son has a Hyundai Sonata.
