Because of the air intake valve is so low that when driven through water its sucked up water into the engine and destroyed it. Please describe. Tt
At 3,000 miles the front brake rotors warped, once had to have them cut down, second and third times rotors were replaced . Please describe .
1992 toyota pickup sr5 v6. Was approaching the freeway on ramp and hit a bump and heard a loud pop and immediately lost steering. Upon inspection, my left upper control arm frame mount was broken off. This mount also holds the motor mount. Taking a closer look, it looks like the metal had cracked at some point and rusted through and the bump was the last straw. Its a miracle I was not on the freeway yet, or I (and possibly others) could have been seriously injured!
