“I HAVE A 2001 TOYOTA AVALON THAT I PURCHASED USED FROM KINGS TOYOTA IN JULY 2005. THE CAR WAS TOYOTA CERTIFIED. MY CAR'S ENGINE DIED ON 8/14/2010 50 MILES FROM MY MECHANIC. I HAD THE CAR TOWED ON 8/14/2010 AND HE CALLED ME TO SAY HE COULD PUT A JASPER MOTOR IN MY CAR FOR $6700. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HEARD FROM THEM THE FOLLOWING DAY THAT I WAS TOO LATE TO GET THE ENGINE REPAIRED. I EXPLAINED THAT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY LETTERS FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE VOLUNTARY RECALL AND I WAS TOLD TOO BAD. THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO PROTECT ITS CITIZENS FROM FAULTY TOYOTA ENGINES. OIL GEL OR SLUDGE CAUSED MY ENGINE TO SEIZE. IT IS SITTING DEAD AT MY MECHANIC'S SHOP WAITING FOR ME TO DECIDE WHERE TO MOVE IT TO NEXT. *TR”

“I HAVE REPLACED O2 SENSORS TWICE TO GET RID OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR CODES THAT HAVE POPPED YOU P1135 & P1155. TOOK CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE COULD FIGURE OUT WHY THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. ALL SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH DENSO PARTS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A RECALL IF NOT EVEN THE TOYOTA DEALER COULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH TOYOTA'S. I NEED MY CAR TO PASS A SMOG AND IT COULD NOT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. CAR ONLY HAS 62,000 MILES AND RUNS GREAT.”
