Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED USED 2012 PLATINUM TUNDRA WITH 32K MILES AND 2 YEARS LATER WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND A CAM SEAL LEAK FIXED BY THE DEALER, I HAVE FOUND A VERY HARD ROD KNOCK FROM THE ENGINE. I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE OIL AND FILTER CHANGED WITH 114.8K MILES ON IT AT THIS TIME AND WAS TOLD I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I BELIEVE SOMETHING ISN'T SMELLING RIGHT. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY ISSUES WITH THE CONNECTION OF THE CAM SEAL LEAK AND THE ROD READY TO BLOW. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD BE APPROX. $14K TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH 40K MILES ON IT.. REALLY ? AGAIN, I'M SMELLING "NOT MY PROBLEM" FROM THE PEOPLE INVOLVED. WHO CAN I REACH OUT TO ASSIST ME IN RESEARCHING THE CAUSE OF POSSIBLE MIS REPAIR MAINTENANCE ? I APPRECIATE ANYONE'S HELP. BEST REGARDS,
