Looking for advice on what to do with my 200 series- 2014 with 58,000 miles.
It's been well maintained and has a clean engine, no prior issues, accidents.
Driving down the road last week, the engine lurched a little and lights came on dash. I immediately pulled over and whole car shut off.
Check engine light and battery light came on. Had it towed to Toyota Dealer ... diagnostics showed cylinder #5 spring broke off inside and went into combustion chamber, causing the engine to seize. They said I need a new engine and there are only 2 used engines in the whole USA? I've called Corporate HQ to see if they will help and they've opened up a case to review.
Is this a freak occurrence? Anyone ever hear of this happening?
I had a 1994 LC for 15 years, never a problem .... sold it last year to buy a 2014. I am regretting it!
