Head Gasket Leaking, Toyota wants $5,900 plus to repair just one side. Additional money may be required if they find something else or recommend. This is the 3rd different vehicle that I personally know that needs a head gasket under 100.000 miles. Dealer stated that they have never heard of any head gasket issues with 3.5l and no recalls for head gasket leaking. One Tacoma owner out of Butte MT, stated its just cheaper finding a replacement engine than have the dealer repair the head gasket. The other Tacoma owner is running a head gasket sealer until it fails completely or save the money for repair. On the internet they state $9k - 14k to fix the issue. Come on Toyota and do what's right with a recall.
