Consumer Description

TEAM TOYOTA WAS VERY UNRESPONSIVE; ALLEGED OWNER NEGLECT. OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY SLUNG A ROD, NO NOTICE NOTHING. THEY TOLD ME IS WAS SLUDGE ALTHOUGH IT DIDN'T TAKE THEM LONG TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION. THEY COULDN'T HAVE CHECKED VERY FAR BECAUSE THE MECHANIC THAT REPLACED THE MOTOT (NOT A TOYOTA MECHANIC) SAID THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO SLUDGE THERE. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA DISCUSSING OIL GELLING THIS MONTH (JULY 2002). MAYBE THEY'VE BEEN HAVING TOO MANY OWNER NEGLECT CASES WITH BLOWN MOTORS!*AK
