| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My camry started acting funny. while leaving work to take my car to the toyota dealer, the engine started making noises so i pulled over, shut the car off and waited for the tow truck. this was wednesday june 25, 2003. on friday morning, my husband was notified that we needed a new engine because of "oil gelling" or "oil sludging" and it would be $3,500. i took all of the paperwork with a copy of the june 2002 toyota letter to my dealer to see if i would "qualify" for their support program. when i asked the service tech why the cars had not been recalled due to the extent of damage that could be caused and he told me it was only a small number of consumers. i have found that to be untrue. i would expect for toyota to pay for a new engine plus a comporable rental car until my car is fixed along with offering a extended or new warrenty sine the same problem seems to be reoccurring. |
