He gets his car back and it combusts and is engulfed into flames the same day?

yea... no. there's some foul play going on somewhere. cars that had a new motor put in due to warranty get tested vigorously before being given back to a customer.

i dont know why it caught fire, but the only time ive seen a car engulf in flames like that is a fuel leak. a fuel leak would have been noticed when the car was being checked for leaks after the swap. any high pressure fuel line would have popped off immediately if it was loose. fuel lines are usually either fully seated or dripping fuel..

Yea the techs are his dealer were making fun of the car and making tiktok or whatever the hell they did, but this isnt an issue with the tech

then to top it off, apparently he DMed toyotaUSA on instagram, deleted his DM, then when toyotaUSA commented and asked him to get in contact, he proceeded to be a complete **** and say something along the lines of "if you want to get in contact with me, you can DM me"

either way his car is completely unrelated to the rtv issue
