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 5 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 5 hours away? If anybody has gone through something similar - please message me. I am so drained because the vehicle I used to to go see this car when buying it also got rod knock on the way home - took a long time to be approved and get an engine, must have been some cruel foreshadowing that I never picked up on!!!
You will need to take it to the dealership where the work is done. One dealership is not on the hook for another's work... I would call them now prior to have the other dealership touch anything.
