Description of the problem	I went to world toyota on 3/1/13 to get normal scheduled maintenance. I mentioned the check engine light came on while i was on the way to the dealership. A diagnostic test was performed and reported that i needed a r/r camshaft timing gear replaced. The check engine light was reset. I was told i didn't have to replace the part at that time, but would have to get it replaced when the light comes on again. The check engine light and maintenance req lights came on 6/11. I had a diagnostic run. I was told the camshaft gear needed to be replaced. I contacted world toyota to have the part ordered and made an appt to come in on 6/21. On 6/17, i heard 2 loud popping noises. I checked the oil b/c there was smoke coming from the oil pan. I checked the dip stick twice and noticed it was dry. I placed 3 quarts of motor oil in the car. I started the engine. It started making a knocking sound. I parked and contacted world toyota to explain the situation. I towed the car to the dealership on 6/19. The svc advisor told me the short block engine needed to be replaced; this was due to no fault of my own. There were no normal warning signs: check oil light or black smoke. I got all the recommended svcs at the correct intervals. When i asked where the oil went, i was told it evaporated. The inspection report states i need refurbished engine or a new short block for $5,500 and $6,400. I was told those were the best prices that world toyota could offer because the car is no longer under warranty. I called the toyota cx exp ctr to voice my complaint and explained there are no recalls for this issue, but there are complaints for this same issue, oil consumption. I was told they could reimburse me $2,000 for replacing the engine or give me $1,000 off the purchase of a new or used toyota vehicle once i submit an invoice stating i paid for the svc and that the engine was replaced by world toyota.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
