Consumer Description

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2004 TOYOTA SOLARA. AT 131,000 MILES IT HAS DEVELOPED A MAJOR OIL SLUDGE/OIL GELLING ISSUE ON MARCH 27, 2015. IT WAS UNDER THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM UNTIL 77,000 MILES & I HAVE CAREFULLY MAINTAINED IT. I CHANGE THE OIL & FILTER EVERY 5,000 MILES. THE ENGINE IS COMPROMISED & NECESSITATES A $6,000 OVERHAUL TO GET IT RUNNING. I WANT TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION. I ALSO ASK IF THERE ARE ANY OTHERS IN YOUR DATABASE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT TOYOTA SETTLED AN ?OIL SLUDGE ISSUE? FOR PRE 2002 MODELS. THEY NEED TO GO FURTHER. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. & OPENED A CASE FILE. *TR
