VARIOUS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODES COMING ON, KNOCKING SOUNDS FROM ENGINE, ROUGH IDLE, CAR IS STALLING. THE TOYOTA SERVICE TECHS HAVE NO REAL ANSWER FOR THE PROBLEM. FAST FORWARD ANOTHER FEW MONTHS AND THEIR IS METAL FRAGMENTS IN THE OIL!!! THE DEALERSHIP THEN STATES THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE!!! THIS IS ALL HAPPENING WITHIN ONLY 5,000 MILES OF HAVING THE RECALL DONE. THE CAR WAS PERFECTLY FINE BEFORE THE RECALL. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES AT THE MOMENT. CLEARLY THE RECALL HAS LED TO NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE GROWING NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. US OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW ENGINES FOR OUR VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS. PLEASE HELP US!!!!
