Toyota przedluza gwarancje

[Gość: Marek]

Wszystkie samochody Toyoty i Lexus'a wyprodukowane pomiedzy 1997 rokiem a 2001
rokiem z silnikami 3.0L i 2.2L maja przedluzona gwarancje na silnik do 8 lat.
Problem w tym ze sa jakies klopoty z tymi silnikami i "zelowaniem sie" (?)
oleju w nich. Kilkaset silnikow juz Toyota wymienila, pare tysiecy innych czeka
na wymiane. Toyota twierdzi ze problem wynika z niewymieniania oleju na czas,
ale uzytkownicy maja inne zdanie...

TOYOTA TRIES TO MAKE SLUDGY OWNERS HAPPY
Toyota will widen its warranty coverage for vehicles that some owners say are
susceptible to oil gelling and subsequent engine damage. Japan’s largest
automaker will extend its engine warranties for 1997-2001 Toyota and Lexus
vehicles with 3.0-liter V-6 and 2.2-liter four-cylinder engines to eight years
from the date of purchase. Some 3.3 million vehicles are included in this
action, which Toyota insists is the result of oil-change schedules not being
followed. However, the company is also reworking the engines in question to
make them more resistant to damage from oil gelling. The company, says Reuters,
has received more than 3000 complaints of engine damage and has reimbursed a
few hundred owners for repair costs.
