Posting this from the waiting room of Mossy Toyota in San Diego. 2013 LC with 125k miles. Maintained at the dealership. I got a check engine light, 4-lo blinking, and trac off on the dash last night. Scanned with basic OBDII scanner - got P0301, misfire cyl 1. Brought it to the dealer (just a few minutes from home). 6 hours later they are saying the head gasket is blown, liquid in cyl, engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced. $8k for the "cheap" way to fix it. I have an extended warranty from ASI / Smart AutoCare - we'll see how that goes.
Additional context:
This seems crazy, has anyone heard of this before? I bought this LC thinking I would drive it forever.
I will keep forum updated on outcome.
TIA,
Jim
Additional context:
- This is my daily driver and I don't do anything unusual with it, I take very good care of it.
- I brought the LC in a week and half ago for an oil change. A couple days after that I got the same CEL & dash lights. Brought it back to the dealer got new plugs and a new ignition coil on cyl 1. It worked great - actually ran fantastic, noticeably better, for a few days until now.
