This story is messed up. MESSED UP. This car is less than 3 years old. I shouldn't have these kinds of problems. I'm beyond frustrated.
Now that I got that out of my system *uh..hum*
Toyota Tale of Woe - the continuing saga of a woman, hell bent on redemption through social media and being a general pain in the ASS because she feels she's been done wrong by some and you get to take the beating. I'm generous like that.
April 24th - car breaks down (again), towed to dealership.
April 28th - Dealership not quite sure about the full extent of the damage, will get back to me
April 30th - Diagnosis and pics come in from dealer in an email:
Service guy email: "Sunny, we've discovered the problem:blah blah Cam Shafts blah blah VVTI pieces blah blah Engine Block blah Damage blah Valves blah blah blah Pistons blah Timing chain under/over torqued blah Sheered off blah Gasket blah blah blah."
Oh. Is that all?
Wanna see the inside of a fucked-up engine? Thought so (knew you were a closet gearhead)
I ask service guy, "So, when do you think I'll get my car back?"
*blink, blink* "um....." It's at this point I realize that this time the damage is FAR more extensive than Round 1.
In college I briefly dated a Bio-Engineering grad student whose job was harvesting corneas (I know, I know, I like the geeky guys). He explained to me that after a body has all of it's organs donated it's lovingly referred to as a "canoe". I shudder at the thought but there are distinct parallels I can draw between that image and the image of my car.
I start thinking about a replacement car.
Just when you thought the rant was done! There's more! Next Up: Toyota Corporate Customer Experience can SUCK IT
