Description of the problem	I am the original owner of our 2001toyota 3. 0 highlander. I also own a 2008 toyota tundra pickup and a 2008 lexus es 350. Our highlander has been exceptional vehicle. I have performed all the required maintenance on our vehicles since their purchase, oil changes, fluids levels, serpentine and power steering belts replacements, tire rotation, air and fuel filters replacement, wipers, struts, and miscellaneous items. The only service that was performed by technicians was coolant and transmission oil service. On tuesday, december 11, 2012 while my way home from work, i noticed that my check engine light activated. When i got home, i use my obd code reader and obtained the fault code of p1349. It should be noted that my vehicle appeared to be running normally. After reading the possible causes, i took it to a local service center and had an oil change performed. I did this because i had a coupon for an oil change and filter for $14. 99. I reset the check engine light and then drove the vehicle work. On the way home, i noticed that my check engine light and my low oil pressure light had activated. As i attempted to make it off the freeway, i noticed that the motor start messing. By the time i got to the off ramp, the engine was emitting loud banging sounds and was struggling. By the time is able to safely park the vehicle, the motor had ceased. As an original owner, i do not recall ever receiving a notice regarding oil jelly. I am requesting that my motor failure be covered the oil gel settlement. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
