Read my petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/TMC2003/petition.html for the history of the problem and the inadequacies of the current policy that came out only after THREE years of complaints by owners.

Check the NHTSA database for your model to see the complaints at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov
Check the Center for Auto Safety site for the memo there at http://www.autosafety.org
If you research my posts on Cartrackers.com, you will find several links to articles written on the matter. If you want me to send you my flier and a couple of articles, send me a mailing address. The 2000 Sienna is particularly sludge prone, as is the 4 cylinder Camry.
Contact me if you need more or have questions. Pass along the information to anyone interested.
