Water Pump Problems of Toyota Camry - part 2

I purchased a 2004 certified Toyota Camry, with 51,000 miles on the unit. One week after purchase the service engine light came on. I took it back to dealership, they just said it was a sensor issue, and reset the light. The light continued to go on and off for the next 7 months. I took the Toyota the dealership for an oil change in April 2006, again I complained about the service engine light coming on and going off at times, they just reset it again, and did not document anything. On 4-28-06 the service engine came on early morning, and I heard a ticking sound from engine. I immediately called the service dept. At the same Toyota dealership, the service advisor told me to bring the car in since I was a few blocks away. I arrived 10 minutes later, and there was fluid starting to run out and steam starting to come from my hood. The technician checked the car out, and said that the water pump went out, and the engine block was damaged also. He explained these things can happen pretty quick. I purchased the car with Toyota extra warranty, and mpp extended warranty, and my vehicle is within the warranty periods for both, and both cover the damaged parts. But, Toyota refuses to fix the issue because they wont to put neglect on the driver. When the dealership admits on paper to the better business bureau of indiana, that the driver made an honest effort to get this car in for servicing, and that the condition of the car before breakdown was really good.

Additional info to odi number 765034 - shop mentioned that the water pump damaged caused scrapping on the engine block. Since the engine block is made of an aluminum base his concern was that the marks might cause a crack to occur. He said no leaking was seen at this time but I want to put on record that damage was made to the engine that might cause problems in the furture. This scraping was due to the water pump failure that was noted in the odi number 765034 questionnaire. This info was also mentioned to Toyota in a certified letter but I have not received any response yet from Toyota.
