Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A KNOCKING NOISE WAS HEARD. TOOK IT INTO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST THE CAM THAT HAD BROKEN ON THE LEFT SIDE. AND THEY WERE CHARGING $6,000 A WEEK LATER THEY CALLED AND SAID THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE OVERHAULED AND IT WOULD COST $12,000. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THEY WOULD CONTACT TOYOTA FOR HELP. TOYOTA IS STATING SINCE I DO MY OWN OIL CHANGES THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO HELP ME AND THAT IT HASN'T HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE SO I AM OUT OF LUCK. *TR
