Consumer Description

I OWN A TOYOTA CAMRY 1998 MODEL. THE ENGINE OIL LEAKS NON-STOP. SEVERAL MONTHS BACK I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT WITH THE TOYOTA COMPANY. IT STATED THAT ALL TOYOTA CAMRYS 1998 HAD AN ENGINE OIL LEAK DEFECT, AND AS PER THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT I COULD TAKE MY CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM AT THEIR COST. ALSO, THAT IF I HAD INCURRED ANY COSTS TRYING TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED ON MY OWN, TOYOTA WILL PAY SUCH COSTS TO THE OWNER. ACCORDINGLY, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOOK THE COPY OF THE NOTICE FROM ME AND INFORMED ME THAT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD CHECK AND FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. IF THIS WAS THE CASE, THEN WHY WAS I SENT A NOTICE IN THE FIRST PLACE TO TAKE MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM FIX? THIS HAS BEEN A VERY FRUSTRATING AND EMBARRASSING EXPERIENCE. THIS IS MY COMPLAINT, AND I REQUEST HELP IN GETTING THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. *JB
