So, last week just as I got onto the expressway my 2005 Scion TC made a loud bang. I was like hmm...what the heck did i ran over! All of a sudden smoke comes out from the vents and the engine oil light comes on. I pulled over to the shoulder lane and turned off my car. Got out of my car and noticed all the engine oil is all over the ground. Got it towed to the dealership where i bought the car. Called insurance company to estimate damages....U know what they told me, sorry we do not cover maintanence damage, so i was like ok, let me call the dealership and ask them is it a defect...they said no. now im stuck with my car inside the shop. they said it needs a new engine..and does n e 1 knows how much is an engine? If anyone on here would like to throw out some offers i will sell the vehicle to u. I am located in southside of chgo. car is a super white 5 spd with just 45k miles on it. with navi sound sys 30g hard drive. brand new bbk (wilwood). dc strut bar in front, greedy in rear...no engine mods..

 

holy crap! that is horrible!

 

woah!

 

damn that really sucks. thats really weird it threw a rod at only 45k. you have nothing done to the engine at all?

 

it is completely stock?

how is that not under warranty?

 

yup...bone stock engine..this really suck donkey ballz man.

 

get that sht fixed under warranty!

 

isee the pix and just say....what the hell is thaT!?

 

Yeah man, you should fight that. Doesn't seem like a maintenance issue to me.

 

What the hell? how is that NOT under warranty if you're stock? Call the dealership up & tell them your friggin car threw a rod. That should be under warranty.

And another thing...if you're stock, why are you posting in forced induction?

 

doesnt that have a 60k power train warrenty honestly if you really love the tc see if you can ge tit fixed....did they even say the cause of problem.....

 

^Was just going to say that

 

ill buy the bodyy get at me

 

You should immediately call a "consumer law" type of lawyer. Yes, they will pinch your recovery, but it will be less than a motor.

 

x2

 

you should sell your bbk for dirt cheap...get at me

 

If your transmission is not damaged, AEM is looking for a 05-06 5spd transmission for FIC testing...

35K power train 60K drive train. thats a motor issue.

How offten did you chang your oil?

 

LKQ engine at around 16k mileage cost about 2-2.5g and maintance is around 1g so expect to pay 3.5-4gs if u decide to get a engine with your own money.

but i hope you complain to the dealer and get that thing fixed out of their pockets.

 

^35k bumper to bumper
60k powertrain (which included drivetrain) warranty!

i just got my water pump replaced under warranty @ 48k miles!

this should definitely be covered under warranty!
