| Description of the problem | I was driving on the turnpike with my cruise control set at 75 mph when my car began "racing" into overdrive. It did this for a few seconds then stopped, a few minutes later the engine raced again. About. That time another car pulled up next to me to tell me my car was on fire(smoking). I pulled off the interstate and had to have my car towed. Toyota finally agreed to replace the engine but i am having same problems with new engine and i was charged $1800 to get an extended warranty on the new engine. |
