Consumer Description
ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER THE J02 RECALL WORK WAS DONE THE ENGINE DIED COMMUTING IN TRAFFIC WHILE ON THE HWY TRAVELING AT 65 MPH. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPORT A SPUN BEARING DUE TO OIL STARVATION, YET THE CRANKCASE IS FULL WITH OIL (PER THEIR OWN INSPECTION) WITH ABOUT 25% LIFE BEFORE HAVING TO CHANGE OIL. I SUSPECT EXCESS RTV FROM THE RECALL WORK HAS CLOGGED THE PICKUP SCREEN OR AN OIL GALLEY. DEALERSHIP DENIES THAT EITHER OF THOSE 2 THINGS ARE THE CASE AND WON'T FIX VEHICLE, YET THEY CANNOT EXPLAIN THE "OIL STARVATION" IF THE CRANKCASE IS FULL OF OIL AND YOU QUOTE OIL STARVATION, THEN SOMETHING SOMEWHERE IS CLOGGED. YET THEY WONT ACCEPT RESPONSIBVILITY DESPITE THIS BEING A KNOWN ISSUE AT TOYOTA. PLEASE HELP!
