Toyota Of Kirkland
Charged to find the problem and then told me it would cost over $3000 to fix the problem

Cars & Transport

I have a 2001 Toyota Camry Gallery Addition six cylinder with 75,000 miles on it. I received a consumer report on the car informing me that the engine could develop problems because of oil gel.in October the lifters started to make noise so I took it to a Midas dealer to have the lifters adjusted. He told me that it should not have any problems with only 75,000 miles on it. He advised me to take it to the Toyota dealer where I purchased the car.

The car passed the emission test for Washington State in November.

I took the car to Toyota of Kirkland where I purchased the car. They charged me $103 to see what the problem was. They then told me it was not oil gel so I would have to pay for the repair. They then told me that it would cost me an additional $750 to determine what the problem with the engine was.

I told them that was great but they had not told me after $850 what it would cost to fix the car. I was then told that it would most likely cost me an additional $3,000 to fix the problem.

I then called the Toyota headquarters to report my problem. I called and discussed the problem with Carma, she contacted the dealer where I purchase the car and told me there was nothing they could do. I was then told to contact Monic at the Kirkland dealership. Maybe she could help me with discounts for repairing the car.

I purchased a Toyota because of the reputation they have for low repair costs. I have owned Oldsmobile's, Hondas', Fords', Jeeps' and Dodges'. I never had a problem with any of these cars before 100,000 miles.

It seems that Toyota's advertisements are a lie and their cars are not as good as US built cars.
