 Mine needed an engine rebuild with less 
than 60,000 miles on it.  The car was 
gently driven and well-maintained, 
using only synthetic oil. I was on a 
road trip, seven months pregnant, and I 
got stuck 750 miles from home with few 
options.  The dealership charged me 
$5500 to replace the short block - 
$4000 in parts alone.  There is more to 
say about the conduct of the dealer, 
but I don't have the space.  When I 
called Toyota to complain, the company 
told me I was welcome to take my 
business elsewhere.  Toyota would not 
stand by its product and did not care 
about how the dealership treated me.  I 
have owned Toyotas all of my life but 
will never buy another.
