Hi, recently bought a 2013 and was so happy — until it suddenly stalled and got severe rod knock. Turns out this car did have the recall done in the last 16 months. l bought the car 8 hours away. I had it towed to a local dealer who is investigating it now. Here’s my first question - the local dealer says if they find that the issues are caused by the recall, then they want me to deal with the dealer that did the recall. But the car doesn’t run, and that dealer is 8 hours away. Can’t one Toyota dealer take care of fixing bad recall work done by another ? If not, who will pay for the car to be trucked 8hours away? If anybody has gone through something similar - please message me. I am so drained because this car is now a giant paperweight
