Consumer Description

TOOK MY CAR TO THE JOHN ELWAY CROWN TOYOTA FOR THE J02 RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP HAD EXAMINE THE ENGINED AND STATED THAT IT WAS IN GOOD SHAPE AND ABLE TO GO AHEAD WITH THE RECALL. AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE IT WENT GREAT; HOWEVER LESS THEN TWO MONTHS MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AT NIGHT TIME. I WAS ALMOST HIT BECAUSE OF THIS. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND METAL SHAVINGS. THIS WAS INFORMED TO ME YESTERDAY. NOW, THE DIRECTOR JOSH DOES NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY INTO THIS AND SAYS IT COULD HAVE BEEN "WEAR AND TEAR." PRIOR TO DOING MY RECALL MY ADVISOR ALEXIS GAVE ME A CALL TO LET ME KNOW MY ENGINE WAS IN GREAT CONDITION (JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.) METAL SHAVINGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DETECTED WHEN DRAINING THE OIL FOR THE REPAIR, IF THE PROBLEM WAS THERE BEFORE THE RECALL LIKE THEY TRY TO EXPLAIN TO ME. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST CASE AND MANY MORE SCION FRS OWNERS FACE THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM I AM FACING BECAUSE OF THE RECALL AND DEALERSHIPS DO NOT WANT TO OWN UP TO IT.
