Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On 3/29/03 i had my car serviced at worldtoyota on peachtree industrial blvd. i had an oil & filter change, 19 pt. inspection, spring service and brakes for a whopping $488. i have had a diagnostics test done on my vehicle within the past 6 months at worldtoyota. in the past year i have also replaced my transmission, main seal, transmission seal and cv axle, timing belt, tune-up and regular oil changes. on 4-28-03 i threw a rod in my engine. i immediately checked the oil and there was no oil in the engine (marked about a 1/4" from tip of dip stick). as confirmed by worldtoyota i have no oil leaks and i have not experienced any smoke or fume emmitting from my exhause. last emission inspection 1/03. if someone (namely worldtoyota) can give me a feasible explanation as to what happen to the 5 quarts of oil that was supposedly replaced during the oil change i can maybe get some understanding. but oil does not just evaporate out of the engine. my next schedule oil change was 138,019 miles or 5/29/03. i am a single mom and this is my sole means of transportaion. i consistently take necessary steps to maintain my vehicle.
