Consumer Description

I BROUGHT MY 2013 SCION FR-S TO GET THE VALVE SPRING RECALL DONE BACK IN JANUARY. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY EXPECT FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. FOR BOTH THOSE A DAY THE VEHICLE TRAVELED ABOUT 25 MILES IN TOTAL. SINCE I WAS COMMUTING TO COLLEGE. FAST FORWARD TO JUNE WHEN MY SIM EATER WAS DONE. I DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT A WEEK WHEN I STARTED TO HEAR SOME KNOCKING NOISES IN MY ENGINE BAY. I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS JUST LOSE SO I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC SO SEE WHAT HE CAN DO. HE WANTED TO SEE IF SOMETHING WAS LOSE UNDER THE CAR SO HE LEFT ES THE CAR ON A LIFT AND STARTED TO REMOVE THE UNDERBELLY METAL PROTECTOR WHEN A PRICE OF METAL FELL. NO ONE HAS TOUCHED THE CAR SINCE THE RECALL. SO WE DECIDED TO STOP AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE WHICH WAS THE DCH TOYOTA CITY SERVICE CENTER IN MAMARONECK NEW YORK. AFTER THEY INSPECTED THE CAR THEY SAID THEY CHECKED THE TOP OF THE ENGINE WERE THE RECALL WAS DONE. BUT THE CAR HAS A SUBARU BOXER ENGINE WE'RE THE VALVE SPRINGS ARE LOCATED ON THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE. THEY LATER SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHY IT HAPPENING WHEN IT'S A 6 YEAR OLD ENGINE WITH ABOUT 30,000 MILES. (IN MY OPINION THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUES THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE CAUSED.) I LATER CHECKED ONLINE AND OTHER CAR DEALERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES
