problem #2

GS 300 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles

At 60,000 miles, engine/oil light came on; dealer says that engne needs replaced due to oil "sludge" @ cost of $15,000 to repair. Lexus/Toyota refuses to pay even though it is still under warranty bcause I cannot supply maintenance records. Toyota has extended warranty on these engines to 8-years bu T will not honor the warranty. I still owe $20,000 on this $45,000 automobile.
