| Description of the problem | Went to get an oil change from toyota dealerships - the oil consumption test were run and it detected normal (tested twice because inconclusive). The check engine light went on when traveling out of state, there was no indication of lose of engine oil and then car made a strange sound. Vehicle stopped on the bridge, it sounded like something was bragging with the engine. The vehicle was moving and presented not signs of problems when this incident occurred, the vehicle was normally serviced at dealerships and have always responded to updates. The motor did not show signs of wear or tear, was taken into the dealership for service and did not know of the excessive oil consumption. The vehicle is now located in virginia beach, the mileage is over 260,000 and to have the vehicle towed back to my residence would be too costly. The vehicle repairs have been estimated to cost $3000 to repair the motor and more to replace the motor. |
