Consumer Description

MY 2004 TOYOTA COROLLA SUDDENLY HAD ENGINE PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING, MAKING A HORRIBLE METALLIC CLANKING AS THE CAR STALLED. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST REPAIR FACILITY, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT PIECES OF THE ENGINE LITERALLY BROKE APART AS IF THE METAL WAS FATIGUED. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT EXPLAIN HOW THIS HAPPENED WITH ONLY 117,000 MILES ON THE CAR. IT TOOK OVER A MONTH TO FIND A USED ENGINE AND SCRAPE TOGETHER THE MONEY NEEDED FOR REPAIRS. THE ENTIRE ENGINE WAS REPLACED, FOR A TOTAL OF $2500. I WAS ALSO FORCED TO RENT A CAR DURING THIS TIME, AND THE CAR RENTAL AMOUNT IS AROUND $600. *TR
