Ahh the car just needs to earn your trust, just know that pretty much anything can be repaired. Allow the car to earn your trust again, put it through its paces.

At the cost of your modlist you might think you could cover an engine replacement or rebuild if it every happened.
Consider asking the dealership to check the oil pickup tube with an endoscope and look for any bits that shouldn't be there, run an oil analysis. And then, hope for a good outcome. Last edited by radroach; 07-29-2019 at 02:20 PM. |

I'd also like to add that for a while I felt similar after I got the JO2 recall done, now I didn't have any issues yet (knock on wood). That feeling does start to go away as you push the car harder and harder over time. Like I said the car will slowly earn your trust again.

Of course, I'm WAY past the days of modifying a car. The only mod I ever did was get good tires. I figure I may have 30-100k left on it and they will be rough toward the end, I'm pretty sure. It's a car. Expect imperfections. Drive it like you stole it and then replace it. Expect stuff to be less than perfect. Chasing perfection in a car only leads to an early grave. Use it. Abuse it if that's your fancy, but know that right now it is in the best condition it will ever be in, going forward, unless you rebuild it, which is rarely cost effective. I guess, in a nutshell, what I'm trying to say is to lower your expectations. It's a really great car, but it's just a car. None of them are perfect. BTW, if you are getting that clunking from the left rear, check out the flat tire replacement tools in the Styrofoam. They're probably bouncing around. |

I had My recall done in Calgary Ab Canada and within 6 weeks , End of June , it died on me. My dealer has had the car ever Since. They say they are trying to communicate with Toyota Canada , as they want them to pay to fix it. As it was the dealer whom did the recall, found the debris in the oil pan/pickup tube, should they not be the ones to pay. I think they will eventually, they just feel maybe Toyota never gave proper instructions, IDK. I don't know a much about cars, but is this debris in the pickup tube the issue that caused the car to die ? One you tuber said it was, any thoughts , help ? Thanks all, Susan

I would not worry about who pays for the fix as long as it is not YOU! Nice to see the dealer is being truthful with the oil pick up findings. What likely happened is that oil flow was reduced because of the debris in the screen and the engine did not get enough oil and was damaged. Hope it works out...keep us updated. |

Having my car fail twice with the J02 recall ( 2 new/used) engines from Toyota before my car ran again) kind of bumped me into the "it's a car, it'll blow up" category. If anything, it kicked my ass into gear to enjoy the car while it runs. While I was shaken and initially hesitant to trust, I went 4.5 months without my car - when I got it back ,it was redline leaving their driveway. Enjoy it while it lasts, don't be afraid of it and then regret not driving it

out of curiosity's sake, when these recalled engines fail, are the dealers installing used engines or brand new ones? assuming they fess up.

I stand corrected. I said I had 38 daily driviers. I exagerated by ten. This is a sort of narcissistic post, but I used it as an excuse to go through the exercise of determining what I did actually own. In order of ownership:
1963 Rambler classic 1972 Vega GT 1954 Chevy station wagon 1972 Opel GT 1974 AMC Hornet 1977 Subaru DL (new) 1976 Saab 99 1980 Buick Skylark (new) 1954 Ford Pickup 1974 Chevy Pickup 1963 Rambler Station Wagon 1977 Dodge pickup 1984 Plymouth Reliant station wagon 1980 Dodge D50 pickup (turned it into a convertible) 1985 Plymouth full sized van 1966 Dodge Polaris station wagon 1994 Chevy Lumina 1980 Mitsubishi pickup (same as the dodge) 1983 Mazda GLC 1986 Mazda 323 1987 Plymouth Reliant 1988 Dodge Onmi 1992 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible 2001 Chrysler 300 (new)(142 mph governor, which kicked in on I-94 in eastern Montana) And the cars I still own: 2006 Scion xB (new) 2004 Chevy Silverado Z71 2013 FR-S (new) 2016 Scion iA (new) |
