This isn't something Toyota/Subaru invented. Every single manufacturer uses sealant on the engine. Engines are torn down and glued back together every day in shops across the world and they don't...

The repair they performed has a 12 mo warranty. If the rod exited the block and they claim it has nothing to do with the work they performed you get nothing.

We know it was due to the recall, but...

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

Against...?

Dealers are independently owned. The technicians are employed by the dealers. No one works for Toyota.

The issue is that the bearings were not replaced. If they are saying that the bearings failed there is no parts warranty.

Parts warranty covers the parts that were replaced. Beyond that, it is on...

First, I’d get the large bird out from under your hood.



Second, that noise is probably metal and a different metal touching where they shouldn’t. Push it and it may spit that bearing out and...

Exactly. The dealers are hoping you either a. pay them thousands of dollars to fix an engine that was running fine 2 weeks ago, or b. disappear and never come back.

Toyota didn’t break the car because Toyota didn’t perform the recall. A technician who works for a dealership, which isn’t owned by Toyota, performed the recall. The work was performed incorrectly,...

Toyota saying they won’t cover it is not the end of it. Now it’s between you and the dealer.

Toyota’s role is to determine if the failure is a result on a failed part. A part that was installed...

You would have basically no way of knowing an engine is "going to go bad" by taking it apart. Especially doing this recall, there would be absolutely nothing to indicate a pending bottom end failure....

“Hey, you just had my camshafts out of my engine and now I have a check engine light for camshaft adjustment” didn’t work?

Drop the car off. Pick it up when it’s fixed. Raise hell in between.

Honestly, that’s probably the only part Toyota is worried about. If the updated springs are failing, they’re in trouble.

If the techs are butchering the work, that’s on the dealer. Toyota wrote a...

It would be very difficult for a dealership to be crooked. If someone is ripping you (or more likely the warranty department) off it’s the tech. Make something up, pretend it’s fixed, get paid for...
