Vehicle Mileage: 90,351
Vehicle Make: Scion FRS Mileage After Recall Performed: 88,927 Symptom(s): No symptoms Failure: EGR Monitor Not Ready - Will Not pass Smog State: CA Is Dealership Offering Repair: Car has been at dealer since Jan 6th 2022. Have had push back regarding repairs, but dealer has worked with Toyota for "good will" parts replacement. So far, replaced ECU twice (good will), replaced CAT (i paid), replaced vvti timing gear (good will). Drive cycles performed by tech numerous times after each install with no luck. Was told engineers have given up on fixes, and recommended i take to State Ref to get an Exemption. State Ref, would not make an appointment and required that it be fixed prior to smog, Exemptions dont exist for readiness monitors in CA. Car is still sitting at dealership. Toyota denied a buyback/lemon law, claimed they have fixed all issues with car (since it drives). Clearly it wont pass smog, so car is NOT fixed! Which means, i cant drive the car, i cant sell the car, car is now worthless! Simultaneously working with Lemon Law Lawyers and dealership for fix. Biggest stress by far! Update 8/18/22: Spoke to GM at dealership and was more than willing to get Toyota to be involved in this matter. Pushed for a quicker resolution as of 8/16/22, also another Engineer was on site working on my FRS. Today, 8/18, received an update, a step above the Toyota Master Tech & Engineer is on site working on the FRS. I should receive a call from the service advisor as well as GM regarding the outcome.

Lol never heard of getting an exemption like that. Dealer just wants you to take your car and not come back apparently

Crossing my fingers they re-consider a buy back, if not I am going to make some noise on the internet. |

Vehicle Mileage: 8700 (yes that's right 8700)
Vehicle Make: 2013 Scion FR-S Mileage After Recall Performed: 6900 Symptom(s): Loud knocking, loss of power, no CEL or catastrophic failures Failure: Bent Rod / Broken Piston slapping the head State: North Carolina Is Dealership Offering Repair:No Turns out the recall was completed, and then 2000 miles later Cain Toyota logged that they replaced the crank/rod/bearings on the car. So I suspect 2K miles before it blew after the recall. Now less than 500 miles the engine blew again. The engine builder stated that no dealership would ever just replace the crank, rod, and bearings as it would never work. But that's what is in the service log No open recalls, so the recall has been performed, just don't know when. Last edited by belacyrf; 09-12-2022 at 12:43 PM. |

I've read threads in this forum before but registered to make this post
Vehicle Mileage: 64k miles Vehicle Make: 2013 Scion FR-S, unmodded Mileage After Recall Performed: somewhere around 20k, I think... I'd have to check the paperwork Symptom(s): engine knock started while highway, got worse, 45 minutes later I was at the dealer in a "do not drive" car Failure: spun bearing, and low oil. (I was about 1000 miles past my oil change mileage and the oil was very low; they keep trying to pin that as the reason, which I know is wrong; for a car that tells me when my tire pressure is low, I'm not willing to believe that my oil could get low enough to blow the engine without some light flashing at me) State: car originally sold in MA; I bought it in CA, imported it to Canada, now in BC Is Dealership Offering Repair: hell no. they quoted me $21k to replace the engine. This is a weird one because it seems my car should have blown up about twenty thousand miles ago. I did the recall repair in 2019, had to in order to import it, and then drove it up the coast to Canada 4-6 months later. It makes sense now why the GM of the dealership came out to chat with me about the failure. I figured it was bcs of the huge proposed repair cost. Now I decide if I want another potentially bad engine just to keep the car. This is bullshit. Last edited by freakystyley; 04-03-2023 at 09:18 PM. Reason: typos, clarity, and fixing the mileage question |

Hate to say it, but you probably killed it by not keeping up on basic maintenance.

I don't understand this. If you're past your mileage, and you know it, why would you not at least check the oil level so it's not low? You did this to yourself. |
