Consumer Description

ON 2/21/2008 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY AUTO BURST INTO FLAMES. MY AUTO IS A 1998 TOYOTA CAMRY 4CYL. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO STATING THAT TOYOTA HAS AN ENGINE OIL SLUDGE DEFECT ON CERTAIN MODELS. MY AUTO IS ONE OF THEM. ADDITIONALLY THE NOTIFICATION I RECEIVED STATED THAT I CAN TAKE MY AUTO INTO TOYOTA TO BE REPAIRED. OVER ABOUT TWO YEARS I TOOK MY AUTO IN WITH ALL THE PAPER WORK/DOCUMENTS AND EACH TIME TOYOTA STONEWALLED ME. ALSO I JUST WENT INTO TOYOTA FOR THE SAME REASON AND WITH ALL THE PAPER WORK ON 2/14/2008 AND AGAIN TOYOTA TOLD ME THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. I AM VERY MUCH LUCKY TO HAVE SURVIVED THIS INCIDENT ON 2/21/2008. *TR
