HELP!!! FR-S Shutdown all lights on the dash came on!!! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

tric · 09-13-2012, 01:26 AM

A few min ago, pulled out from my driveway the check engine light came on. i ignore it thinking its a minor whatever. i'll take it to the dealer in the morn. but by the time i got to the end on my block all lights came on and i felt i lost the power steer. so i pulled over turn it off for a few second and now it just grinds the motor & wont turn over.

-Battery Check
-Starter Check
-All the Lights are still on when you turn on the ignition

me and my friends pushed it back to my driveway.

this could be the result of an idiotic act i did a few days ago. trying to prove my SCION. i peeled off

@ 109 miles.

Could this void my warranty/or whatever coverage i have?
Could i loose the car?
btw im leasing from "millennium toyota"

im @#$%'ed...

Wait...you're the same guy that peeled off from the lot because a bunch of kids said it's just a Scion...!

Since the engine was not fully broken in yet, everything probably seized up. Depending on the dealer; I think they will try and plug in their computers to determine if you've eff-ed around with the car during the break-in period...(Correct me if I'm wrong, truly guessing here) and try to prove you in the wrong so they can void that warranty of yours.

Good luck with that...

I doubt its related to you breaking 4000rpm limit. Probably alternator OR the CEL has cause catastrophic engine failure. youll be covered under warranty.
dont sweat it bro theres a lot more to life than cars.

This probably has nothing to do with what it sounds like you did.

Please describe how you "proved" your Scion.

I hope you're kidding. If not, please refrain from analysis or advice.

Nah this cant be the problem. I tracked my car with only 500 miles and its at 3k right now doing fine pulling like a champ, the brake in period is a myth on newer engines. This forum is full of people who love to make theories up.

OP:

Its hard to diagnose without pulling some codes or more details. You talk about a grinding noise in the engine, is it a knocking sound ? How is your oil? Share as much info as you can with us in order to help you.

You never know man. Please refrain from double-posting; you can multi-quote in one post.

Although it probably wasn't the best idea ever, one burn out at low mileage should not cause a catastrophic failure...

Good luck...hope they can fix it for you.

Keep us posted on what they diagnose the problem is, im curious as to what could have failed.

You will never 'convince' others to respect your car, or yourself. You earn it.

ragingSPAM · 09-13-2012, 05:58 AM

one thing to add is that technically speaking the engines in the cars are already "broken in" from the factory...in reality, modern engines are made at such a precise level that the break in process is very minimal and takes very little time, the piston rings basically need to make grooves in the cylinder walls to get a good seal but that occurs rather quickly...just an fyi (hope you feel better)

Don't know what it is, but GOOD LUCK and hope everything works out, sounds like a nightmare
