| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Took my car in to have the timing belt replaced and to find out what the cause of these problems were; car worked fine otherwise: rattle ling noises coming from valve cover, engine consuming coolant, front engine seals leaking. total cost for these repairs was $1992.42 got my car back from the dealer, four days later the car dies on the road. car was towed back to dealer at their expense. dealer found that the timing belt had skipped. they replaced the timing belt, declared car fixed and gave me the keys. i drove off and got as far as two blocks away from dealer before the car died again. this time the dealer said that the problem was due to engine gel. the dealer said the repairs would be covered by toyota but only if i could show proof of oil changes receipts, which i provided. i'm now trying to recover a refund for the repairs that i previously paid for that were due to the engine gel problems. |
