| Description of the problem | My wife noticed oil lite came on and went off in a split second . After that the car shut off car was checked no oil . Motor blew up . Called toyota and refused to do anything . Had to put a jasper engine in. Cost out of pocket $4990. 00 and $1000. 00 to install new engine . I believe with all the other reveiws with the same problem and poor engine design toyota needs to pay for the engine that customers had to pay out of pocket . I have my paper work for proof and mechanic also . If any info on this please email me asap [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
