Cool

1) Are you loosing coolant
2) Have you ever let Toyota Red antifreeze mix with a typical green silicate like you would find at an autoparts store?

Loosing coolant would possibly lead to a cracked radiator, which you may be due for. Keep checking the radiator aquifer for plenty of coolant to make sure the engine is being properly cooled.

I'd say pay close attention to the radiator itself.

...or the mechanic was desperate for money so he replaced all the unnecessary stuff...

All it takes is a hairline crack...check your radiator drain plug too, as well as transmission cooler lines. Ours had a kink where the transmission cooler line meets the radiator, really small, and that caused leaks...

Thanks Guys

I had someone check it out and I had no water/anti-freeze in the radiator and my caps were old and worn so I go those replaced. So far so good, but I have to keep my eye on it so see if the radiator does have a leak, but no leaks are running from the car to the ground. I'm keeping my hands crossed.

Hey my interior lights, trunk opener, and electric door locks stopped working one day and it's not the fuses, do u know what it could be?
