Raven down! Mechanical failure :(
Driving home Monday night on the fwy (about 65-70) when the engine sputtered or rev'ed down, check engine light came on and throttle wasn't responsive. Coasted off the fwy, dash looked light up like a xmas tree. On the offramp engine shut down, got off the fwy came to a stop and smoke was everywhere. Oil puddle on the street and tow truck after towing.
Got my baby towed to my dealer (it was about 12:30 at night). Next day dealer advised me that Toyota wanted to look at it. The Toyota rep showed up yesterday (THURS) and confirmed that they are going to be giving me a long block motor replacement. They are going to keep my engine to see what happened. Hopefully I'll have my car back in a week and a half. I really want to know what happened. Odometer approx: 10,840 miles They haven't told me what happened except "that something gave out in the engine". I will update with more info when I get some. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...Breakdown1.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...Breakdown2.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...Breakdown3.jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...S/frstow20.jpg |

|
that sucks! guess you won't know what happened if Toyota is taking the old engine for analysis...
|
sorry to hear man. keep us posted and hopefully everything goes smoothly.
did you get a rental to play with in the meantime? |
Did you have any mods done to the intake/motor/etc?
|
That's a scary story. I hope thay at least tell you what happened to your engine when they find out the cause.
|
they offered a rental by I have my xB to use in the meantime. I had Airaid intake and Perrin Pulley along with other cosmetic mods, those were the 2 mechanical.
Thanks guys, I trust Toyota will get me back or the road soon. |
