Okay so I'm making a new post about this because I'm in desperate need of help.
Toyota basically gave up on me and refuses to start throwing parts at the car because the issue is so intermittent and they basically dont believe me that its actually happening
The coolant decides to literally explode and force its way out of the main reservoir.
The car is completely stock. Dealership has had it for months and ended up just giving it back to me because they cant figure it out, head gasket tested (checked out ok) and cap has been replaced which did not fix the issue.
This has happened three times in two months. The second event being a month after the first and the third being two days after the second.
No codes present relating to anything coolant wise other than the refill coolant popup after it happens. Not overheating either (at least according to the coolant gauge).
Spoke to a couple of specialty shops which pointed out a possible short in the water pump or some sort of blockage around the heat exchanger.
I'm running out of options here, if anyone has any idea what it could be it would be much appreciated.
I've included a video of the issue happening in real time.
