Consumer Description
I DROVE MY AUTO TO A NORMAL ERRAND TRIP, THERE WERE NO ISSUES, WARNING LIGHTS, NOISES, NOTHING, NEXT MORNING I GET IN START UP AND IT'S MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WITHIN THE MOTOR, STILL NO WARNING LIGHTS, ALL GAGES ARE READING NORMAL, I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA SERVICE AND THEY TELL ME MY CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE, POSSIBLY BEARINGS IN CRANK SHAFT HOUSING, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN , IF IT WERE IT'S WITH WEAR OUT OF EXCESS OF 300,000 PLUS MILES. MY CAR HAS 84,000 MILES I AM THE 1 AND ONLY OWNER, I HAVE DONE ALL MAINTENANCE ( OIL CHANGES, TIRE ROTATION, ETC) AND RECALL THRU TOYOTA, I USE ONLY BEST GASOLINE, OIL. THE ONLY RECALL WAS ENGINE VALVE SPRINGS REPLACEMENT. WHEN TAKEN IN TO TOYOTA FOR ESTIMATE OF THIS PROBLEM, THEY STATED THAT TO THE ENGINE- COMPUTER THREW NO CODES, THERE WERE NO WARNING EMBLEMS, OR WARNING SIGNS. WHICH IN ITSELF IS FAULTY. I PLAN TO REPAIR MY AUTO BUT STRONGLY FEEL THIS WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECT WHICH SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL AND SHOULD BE AT MANUFACTURES COST . AS I AM IN REPLACEMENT PROCESS I HAVE NO DOCUMENTS EXCEPT FOR ESTIMATE. THANK YOU. PLEASE HELP ME.
