Yup, then the only issues becomes successfully collecting on the judgment, which is usually a bigger problem with random individuals and not so much large entities. |

I have a massive oil leak post-recall work done. I've been in contact with the service writer who helped me. He mentioned it could be the timing cover.
Shouldn't that be covered since the mechanic needed to disassemble the motor to get to the valve springs? |

Yes. Unless you have a cold air intake. Then they're going to throw you under the bus.

Well it finally happened, funny thing is I only got the recall because a friend of mine had it done earlier and put on tons of kilometres without issues. I swear the day my car was ready to be picked up after the recall, he spins a rod bearing.
When I went to pick up my car today, there were three cars sitting in the lot with dead engines. Vehicle Mileage: 119000 km Vehicle Make: 2013 FRS Mileage After Recall Performed: 2000km Symptom(s): loud knocking, started at around 5k rpm and car shut off shortly after Failure: tbd State: Ontario, Canada Is Dealership Offering Repair: No, because car was out of warranty, dealership wanted to charge labour to start any diagnosis. Service tech said it would be a waste of time/money because I obviously needed a new engine and sent me straight to Toyota Canada to try to start a claim.

We know it was due to the recall, but if the dealership doesn't want to back it up you will have to fight it. If you remove a door panel and replace a window motor the window motor has a 12 mo warranty. The door panel does not inherit any of that warranty. If the tech breaks the door panel taking it off and glues it back together, which later falls off when you slam the door... that's on the dealer. It's just like that. But $10k. |

Of course, that is expecting good faith on the part of the dealer I realize...
