I purchased a 2011 Toyota Tundra with 6 miles on it. I have had it for almost two years.I was backing out of my garage after a severe snow storm and became stuck. I put the truck in 4 high put it back into drive and gave the truck some gas. I heard a grind and bang and then had a strage smell in my truck. I got out of the truck looked underneth it and saw a puddle of oil. I called the local dealership and they sent a tow truck to get it. After they looked at it they had an inspector come look at it and denied my warranty claim. Stating that i had to be on pavement for this to happen and its abuse on my part. As i said i was stuck in the snow on the ice in my driveway. If you purcahse a Toyota be very leary about purchasing the extended warranty. They will tell you it covers everything but it don't. The inspector said they could not pin point the problem so its my fault and not covered.
