Hey guys, sorry to start a new thread but I think its now to a point where its really not in line with my previous misfire thread as I have found the issue.



quick notes:
-2013 FRS, salvage title car from Florida due to light front end damage.

-Figure out I have an outstanding recall after receiving car
-the mysterious misfire that developed after filling up with a failed valve spring causing one of the valve in #3 cylinder not to fire
-called and made a case with Toyota, asked about salvage vehicle being an issue or not, was told it isn't a problem
-I throw on my new fenders, bumper, hood and lights just to have it looking like a car before I take it down there, these are form a Series 10 front end I bought. Engine harness is FULLY plugged in and installed. Only things unplugged are some lights and side markers that Im still working on.

-Tow the car to toyota, toyota after 4 days calls and says "man it has mis matched vins, there are stuff unplugged from the harness, the motor may have been pulled, we need to get a head quarter rep in to check it out"




A week goes by and I get a call today "bad news.. the rep said we can't work on the car". I asked why is that? And he said "well, its salvaged so its been in a front end wreck, and you can tell that theres a bunch of stuff unplugged so someone has been inside of it" He then went to say, "I mean Im glad to work on it for you, I just need 3 hours of tear down time to diagnose whats wrong with it"




What in the actual fuck? It took everything I have not to speak my mind, instead I asked to get a written denial letter and was told to contact toyota direct as all of this should be updated in my "case file"



I am giving it some time before I call them so that I don't lose my cool and try an handle this as civil as possible. At this point I have no idea what my options are other than I am pretty certain they are 100% in the wrong about denying the recall.
