| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 1996 toyota camry that has the oil sludge problem that toyota has admitted to for the 1997-2001 cars. my local toyota dealership examined and admitted my car has the sludge/gel problem but says this year of manufacture is not part of the campaign to fix this problem and therefor will not be responsible for the defective engine and its subsequent repairs. toyota wants to charge me $800 to further diagnose the "extent of damage". in my research online, i have found other owners of 1996 toyotas that are experiencing the same problems with their engines and i feel toyota is again trying to minimize their responsibility to owners of vehicles with the affected engines. |
