I have a whole page of problems with new Toyotas. There was so much I dodnt even finish http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjBWXBH9.rW4w8Xffa0c8Ujty6IX?qid=20070301210328AAn8E5d
If you think there really is no issue with Toyotas engine sludge just look at all these complaints on this website almost no one knows about. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/toyota_engine.html
GM is back in business, while Ford and DamilerChrysler continue to struggle. In a few years everyone will love GM

If you're referring to the sludge problem on the 3.0 L engine, it was due to people who did not do their oil changes. Some of these people couldn't even come up with a single invoice showing an oil change had even been performed. I commend Toyota for extending their warranty and covering the motor repair for anyone who could at least show one oil change had been done. Way to go Toyota, they make fine automobiles.

What the first guy said. It's obvious that foreign cars are better than american. That's a well accepted fact. Believe me if you owned a Ford or GM and it died out on you, I'm sure it would take a long time to get the trust back from that customer.

If people changed their oil like they're supposed to this topic would have never existed. The big 3 allowed the imports to get a huge jump on them in the 80s and have been paying for it ever since, it takes a lot to win peoples faith back after 10 years of shoddy automobiles.

people are always out to make Toyota look bad , they make good cars and trucks the problem is people don't change there oil or think they don't have to and the oil breaks down and turns into sludge and when they blew there motor they get a lawyer and place the blame on Toyota.
