 Description of the problemThere was a recall on my 2007 toyota camry. In february 2016 toyota took possession of my vehicle for 3-4 weeks to repair or rebuild the engine to comply with the recall requirements. I was provided a loaner car during that period. During the less than 2 month period between when my car was returned to me on 2/18/16 and april 10, 2016, i did not take my car to any repair shop nor did i touch the engine for any reason. Apparently toyota did not properly repair the vehicle when the recall repairs were done. On 4/10/16, while i was driving on the new jersey turnpike, the engine self-destructed, there was a loud noise, smoke engulfed the engine and then it ceased running. I had the vehicle towed to the nearest toyota dealership for warranty repair. On 4/11/16, i called toyota for warranty payment to be made to the dealership so the engine could be repaired or replaced, i was told that first i had to pay for the $5,800 work to be done and then toyota would reimburse me once i showed that i had all my service receipts that i had properly maintained my vehicle. This was an outrageous position for toyota to take, because the car was released to me after toyota thoroughly worked on it for 3-4 weeks and inspected it before releasing the car to me on 2/18/16. What possible maintenance would i have done in under two (2) months. I am also a low income wage earner and to require me to fund $5,800 and wait for reimbursement was unduly burdensome. Couple with the fact that the toyota of princeton informed me that i would not be given a complimentary loaner car during the repair period. The cost of alternative transportation and advancing $5,800 was impossible and a clever way for toyota to avoid their financial responsibility under the warranty. Instead, i saw no alternative but to accept the offer of princeton toyota to give me $2000 credit toward the price of a used car.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
