NHTSA Complaint #11195026 — 2013 SCION FR-S

I WAS NOTIFIED BY MAIL THAT THEY'RE WAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR MY 2013 ACIOM FRS WHICH WAS TO REPLACE MY ENGINE SPRING VALVE AT NO COST. I TOOK IN MY CAR JANUARY 18 TO HAVE THE WORK DONE IT TOOK AROUND 2 WEEKS TO GET A RESPOND BACK THAT MY CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP. I TOOK IT OUT AND DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 5 MILE TO GET GAS AND WHEN I TURNED ON MY CAR IT WAS STRUGGLING TO TURN ON AND ONCE IT TURNED ON IT WAS IT WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY , 3 ENGINE CODES CAME UP P0017 P0300P219A. I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO TOYOTA AND ALL THEY DID WAS CLEAR MY ENGINE CODES DROVE MY CAR FOR ABOUT 30 MILES AND HANDED IT BACK TO ME SAYING IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT 2,000 MILES I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME AT NIGHT AND I HEARD A LOUD POP INSIDE MY ENGINE SO I PARKED THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY I WAS GOING TO MY FRIEND HOUSE TO CHANGE MY BRAKES AND WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY I HEAD A SOFT ENGINE KNOCKING AND IT BECAME LOUDER AND LOUDER UNTIL THE ENGINE COMPLETLY DIED ON ME AND I WAS STRANDED. TOYOTA SEND A TOW TRUCK TO PICK UP MY CAR AND WHEN THEY INSPECTED THE ENGINE THEY SAID I HAD A CYLINDER THAT WAS DESTROYED AND A ROD BEARING DESTROYED AND THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO 'OIL STARTVATION'. I'VE OWNED THAT CAR FOR A YEAR AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A SINGLE ISSUE WITH IT, UNTIL NOW THAT THEY WORKED ON MY ENGINE. THEY ARE TELLING ME I GOTTA PAY $8,600 OUT OF POCKET FOR A WHOLE NEW SHORT BLOCK AND THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGES OCCUR AFTER THEIR WORK.
