Description of the problem | Driving car check engine light came on along with oil light and engine rattled. Shut car off and had towed to toyota. They changed cam gear. Drove car home oil light came on and engine rattled. Dealer did have it towed back. Dealer stated that if they find this part was not the fix they would credit me cost. They then changed oil control valve, and charged me $100. 00 more along with stating the cam gear was still necessary for fix. Brought car home and check engine light came on again. Changed oil and oil light has not come back on, but don't feel that car is really fixed. Paid $900. 00 for all this and not comfortable that car is really fixed. Called toyota customer service and they would not help, just stated that this is in the dealers hands. Great the dealer watching out for itself with toyota having a hands off approach to taking care of this. |
