Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At about 70k miles, my 1997 toyota camry starting exhibiting problems of huge amounts of smoke from tail pipe at cold startup. i understand that this is related to the engine sluge or gelling problem. i believe this problem is related to the tsb-628696 as noted in the nhtsa. however, toyota has declined to cover the repair, but is willing to cover only the parts, but the labor is being charged to me. they are not honoring the extended coverage that they have announced for this tsb tc02002 and nhtsa item number: 628696. this is totally ridiculous
