Consumer Description

THIS ENGINE IS UNDER WARRANTY. I PROVIDED MORE THAN THE NUMBER OF RECEIPTS REQUESTED BY THE DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA SAYS THE OIL CHANGE OUTLETS MUST NOT HAVE ACTUALLY CHANGED THE OIL. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AS USED WITH 153 MILES ON IT. IT WAS PURCHASED AT BALE HONDA IN LITTLE ROCK. BALE TOYOTA HAD USED IT AS A DEMONSTRATOR. BALE TOYOTA IS IN CONWAY, AR WHICH IS 35 MILES AWAY. LANDERS TOYOTA IS THE ONLY TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER IN LITTLE ROCK. AFTER I PROVIDED THEM WITH ALL THE RECORDS REQUESTED, THEY STILL MAINTAIN THAT TOO FEW OIL CHANGES IS THE ONLY CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE SMOKED SO BAD THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS ON FIRE.*AK
