Consumer Description

OIL GUSHED FROM ENGINE, LEAVING A TRAIL FROM MY HOUSE TO MY NEIGHBOR'S WHERE HE NOTICED THE OIL ON THE HIGHWAY (ENOUGH TO REMAIN THERE FOR TWO WEEKS). THIS WAS A BULLETIN, NOT A RECALL VIA TOYOTA. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING ALL OF THE OIL. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD MY CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 DAYS AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. IF I HAD BEEN SPEEDING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, THE ENGINE COULD HAVE LOCKED UP AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND CAUSED OTHER PROBLEMS. I'M UNCERTAIN AS TO WHICH BULLETIN IT WAS, I JUST LOST ALL OF MY OIL IN A MATTER OF SECONDS!!!!! *TR
