Consumer Description

SIENNA ENGINE SEIZED WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 75. WE HAD JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED PRIOR TO LEAVING TO GO ON VACATION. TOYOTA BLAMED US FOR THE PROBLEM: SAID IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF VEHICLE MAINTENANCE DESPITE OUR FURNISHING PROOF OF REGULAR OIL CHANGES. COST OF REPLACEMENT ENGINE WAS ESTIMATED @ APPROX. $5000. WE COULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND TOYOTA WOULD NOT COVER THEM. VAN WAS REPOSESSED BY OUR FINANCE COMPANY. WE HAD TO TAKE OUT A HOME EQUITY LOAN TO PAY OFF THE BALANCE OF $6,000 OWED TO OUR FINANCE COMPANY.*AK
