| Description of the problem | I own a 2009 toyota venza with a knock in the engine. Twice the dealer has stated there was nothing wrong, thus nothing to fix- i find other complaints regarding "the piston slap" with dealer refusing to repair the vehicle and stated that the noise was normal. I do not find an engine knock normal! |
