Our Sienna w 90k miles on it died last week and we are told the valve is cracked and we need a new engine for 10 thousand dollars! Toyota told us to take a hike. Could someone tell me what is so great about Toyota and do we have any recourse??

    Toyota is known for being tops in reliability.
    If you had all scheduled maintenance done, and at Toyota dealership, wouldn't hurt to ask again if Toyota would cover 25% of repairs.

    Very sorry to hear of your loss.

    I presume the cost of a used engine with suitable warranty is in the range of $2k-$3k. Yes, labor is another expense, but your van is well worth it.

    If known, what caused the cracked valve? How/why cannot the offending valve alone be replaced? Did the failed valve cause catastrophic internal engine failure?
