Camry LE 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 95,543 miles

Just bought this car. Everything was fine for a while but then I noticed the temp rising and rising. I pulled over to check my reservoir and it was completely empty! So I let it cool down and drove to the nearest gas station to fill it up with water, and the radiator of course. The next day when I was changing the thermostat the one they has in there was cut off and really only the gasket remained. Still haven't fixed the problem yet and I'm really hoping its not the head gasket or a cracked head.

lose head bolts. antifreezer and oil leaks under engine

Even though I did good maintenance to my car, the engine started to leak antifreeze and oil. A mechanic from Toyota toll that is a defect from the manufacture, but Toyota never did a recall about it. My car has 136220 miles. a saw many people in the internet complaining about it. This is NOT good for the customers. I will not buy another Toyota.
