Consumer Description

MARCH 18, 2009 I WAS TRAVELING 300 MILES FROM HOME IN HOUSTON TO COVINGTON LA. ABOUT 20 MILES FROM MY DESTINATION I HEARD A CLICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE, A/C STOPPED WORKING & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THE NEXT MORNING I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL & IT WAS COMPLETELY DRY. PUT 4-5 QTS OF OIL IN AND AS SOON AS I TURNED ON THE CAR, ALL THE OIL CAME POURING OUT ONTO THE PARKING LOT. DROVE THE CAR INTO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP & LEFT IT. WAS TOLD THE NEXT DAY IT WOULD NEED A COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILT. LEFT THE CAR IN COVINGTON LA & RETURNED TO HOUSTON. THE CAR WAS DELIVERED BACK TO ME IN HOUSTON IN A FEW WEEKS. ON JUNE 30, 2009 I WAS ON ANOTHER DRIVE ABOUT 90 MILES FROM HOME & A/C STOPPED WORKING. TOOK INTO LOCAL DEALERSHIP - TOLD FREON WAS TOTALLY EMPTY. THEY REFILLED & COULD FIND NO LEAKS. WHILE IN FOR THIS ISSUE, THEY DISCOVERED THAT A VALVE COVER WAS LEAKING & REPLACED IT. *TR
