| Description of the problem | 1. Leading up : a faulty and poorly designed rubber oil line weathered within the engine compartment. 2. Failure: while driving on the freeway, the weathered hose snapped. The car immediately spilled four quarts of oil. The check engine light never lit. The water temperature stayed within range. We had the vehicle towed to a toyota dealership. 3. Repair: toyota replaced the failed oil line with the same part. No engine diagnostics were performed despite the likelihood of serious engine damage. The oil compartment was left dirty. The engine cover was left soaked in oil (it's a foam part). |
