Jokes aside, a slightly used 3 series is starting to look good.

That was funny! Lol

So Toyota contacted me today. My car is not repairable. They are going to just replace the entire engine and they gave me a new car with some pretty good perks. According to them, this issue is being brought up from multiple customers and a fix is on the way. Wish I had more info but it looks like it is just a major defect. At least I'm still in the fr-s club for now. Hang tight and if I hear anything new I will update.

I assume they mean it's too much effort to replace it piecewise and pay mechanic labor than it would be to just send you a new engine from the plant. Do you mean the loaner is new/cooler or are they giving you a new FR-S with factory options on their dime?

By fix on the way, I assume at the production level as you said it wasn't repairable.

They sent the dealership a new engine and gave me a whole new car

Looks like they are doing you right.

eriktherod · 06-29-2012, 11:44 PM

Same color/tranny of your choice? How many miles on the ODO when you got it?

That's awesome man, glad to hear you're at least being treated properly.

whiteout fr-s · 06-29-2012, 11:49 PM

Same everything with benefits, they really took care of me, I was scared I was going to have to fight em. Thanks to everyone for their support here as well

Are you allowed to say what benefits? :P Toyota is typically pretty good about warranty stuff on a new car, and this is a special car so I don't think they want to mess it up.

So you are saying they are swapping in a new engine in your 86? Or are they giving you a brand new car?

whiteout fr-s · 06-29-2012, 11:58 PM

New engine in the old car but they gave me a new car all together. I did submit lemon law paperwork to convince them though

So now you will have an frs and another new car aside from the frs? Or are you saying tht it will basically be a new car after the swap. Sorry man im super slow tonight. Just got off work

Pretty sure he is saying that they are going to replace the engine in the old frs, but it is no longer his and they gave him another brand new frs with extras for the trouble. right?
