Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2003 toyota corolla and i took it to the dealership for its 105,000 mile service. part of the service was to replace the oil. i left the dealership after the service and the car was ok. i drove it for about 45 minutes. it sat for about 3 hours and when i left i drove it for about 30 minutes and then there was a loud clanking and banging from the engine. i had it towed to the dealership and they say i need a new engine. there has been no oil leak or black smoke from the exhaust. i had an oil leak around 96,000 miles that i took to the dealership and they fixed. although i had to take it back because they did not fix it properly the first time. i feel there has been some error on their part and they are not willing to get into the engine and see if there is something wrong and just want me to replace the engine no questions asked. *tr
