Description of the problem | Engine failed while driving. My engine was rebuilt (4 pistons, rings and all associated parts) by a toyota dealership due to oil consumption failure, less than 25,000 miles later my engine stopped running while i was driving with no indications (no lights, no smoke)at about 154,000 miles. 4,000 outside of the warranty. While driving the vsc and check engine light came on and the temperature gage went all the way down, when i tried to break to slow down the vehicle, the brakes did not work nor did the gas. I was able to move to the shoulder and let the vehicle slow down naturally until i popped the emergency brake. The vehicle has never overheated. Service rep said i lost compression due to a pressure building up in my engine, causing the head gasket and radiator to blow. Service rep said their is also a bad piston. Toyota service manager has not returned my call, corporate said they are partners with the local toyota dealership and there is nothing they can do. |
