| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Resolving oil sludge repair problem on used rx 300 with third party lexus dealer--car broke down on 1200 mile road trip. lexus paid for rental car for return trip. repair is under warranty. my problem is the dealer we purchased the car from must have known this problem existed with these vehicles and had ample evidence of lack of oil changes in the repair history, yet did not pull the valve cover off this vehicle to determine if oil sludge problem existed. isn't that standard practice for all used car inspections? am told by third party lexus dealer therer is a maintenance procedure that requires this sludge inspection on all v-6 toyota engines, yet dealer we purchased car from says this is not required. |
