@Cop, the car was running well for a period of time until the connecting rod snapped. Engine blew February 13, 2015. Was experiencing rod knock so I towed the car to Longo Toyota. They were able to get it started and noted a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust. Shortly after the engine seized. They're rebuilding the engine under warranty.
So far they noted blown piston rings, broken connecting rod, and 2 holes in the block from the connecting rod. Had to order a replacement short block and heads were reworked.
