What owners wrote
Engine compartment fire, consumer was driving under normal conditons and noticed lck of resistance from the hydraulic clucth and the vehicle caught on fire in the engine compartment, the fire department was unable to find the cause of the fire.
I brought my toyota to the repair shop,the repairman told me my car has a defective head gasket and told me to call the toyota dealer for repair. I called the dealer they told me that the head gasket had been repaired. They will not pay for it again. I think that is not fair for a consumer to pay for a defective engine. Keeps blowing head gasket but only repair once is not enough.
