I AM TOLD THAT THE CAM SEALS ARE A PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE DUE TO BACK PRESSURE. ISN'T THE MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBLE TO CORRECT DEFECTS? THE CRESSIDA WAS THE TOP OF THE LINE FOR TOYOTA IN 1992 AND THE CAR COST $25,000. WE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER PREVIOUSLY ON OTHER PROBLEMS AND WERE TOLD IN OTHER WORDS - TOO BAD - IT'S YOUR PROBLEM. ISN'T THE MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBLE TO CORRECT DEFECTS, EVEN IF THEY HAVEN'T RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT? THIS CAR IS MECHANICALLY A PIECE OF JUNK AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO CORRECT THE DEFECTS!
