1 Engine Failure problem of the 2004 Lexus RX330

Failure Date: 01/12/2009

Dear sir/madam: I am writing you because I am being ignored by a large product manufacturer. Lexus/Toyota is refusing to hear my claim or even consider my situation on the car. I have not had my claim denied by Lexus because they simply will not even consider my issue. I am the owner of a 2004 Lexus RX 330 that has a failed engine due to oil sludge. I have always had my vehicle maintained at a Lexus dealership and I get the oil changed in a timely manner. My car has 110,000 miles on it and last Sunday the engine failed in the middle of an intersection. It now requires a new engine that is estimated to cost me $3,600 . This incident happened on a Sunday (1/9/10) so I had no choice but to use the one towing opportunity that my insurance company gave me to tow my car to a non-Lexus/Toyota brand dealership. The engine failure was caused by oil sludge. I have always had my car serviced properly and I refused to be denied my right to be heard. Toyota/Lexus settled a case for the very same problem in February 2007. This settlement effected 7. 8 million units model years 1997 to 2003, however I refuse to give up the fight, my car is one generation out of the settlement. I refuse to believe that all issues have been solve the very next year. I want to file a claim for my car. . Read more...
