Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises Problems of Toyota Camry Hybrid

I have a 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid , I have always taken very good care of it maintenance wise etc. ,my wife & I were driving a few days ago and heard a ticking noise that sounded odd so we immediately stopped at a pep boys as it sounded oddly- I he gentlemen there checked the oil mind you we always only ever take the car to Toyota dealerships but had never heard this ticking noise and wanted to check right away. The gentleman told us that we needed oil and proceeded to add 2qts if oil , he checked again and added 2more quarts , we also have never had to add oil nor have we burned oil in his car ever in between oil changes - this was very odd as we have never enemies had a drop of oil in our driveway ever. So after the oil was added we started the car and the ticking noise had subsided, we headed towards our home and a severe loud clanking noise way worse than before started and a light came on telling us to immediately pull over and to place the car in park- we towed to Toyota immediately and were told that we needed a new engine- later I read about a defect that we were never told about, not in a recall nor otherwise, our person at Toyota dealership said nothing either about their ever being a problem with this car nor a recall if any sort and I certainly never received anything in the mail either - not only is this a safety issue but is pure fraud and negligence in Toyota's part to ignore and say nothing at all - I am not under warranty but not his defect was never brought to our attention- what can I do ? possibly due in a small claims court ? please help - I have entered my VIN# in a couple different sites and then here is no recall or anything whatsoever closely related to this under this VIN # this actually happened on 6-16-2019 but this system would not allow me to enter the correct date for some reason!.

Problem started with a clicking noise under the hood, near the engine and brakes that were crunching when slowing down or stopping. The clicking noise grew louder, happened more often and even continued after the car was turned off. Took the car to dealer who told me it was the abs actuator. The dash lights were not on at this point and I continued to drive it. The lights on the dash appeared almost 6 weeks later when I stopped driving the car because it could be dangerous if I suddenly lost my brakes. Checked with Toyota headquarters who told me there was not a sufficient number of complaints for a recall. Checked the internet for complaints and there were plenty of camry new car owners experiencing the same problem. Filed a complaint with Toyota and received a case number for reimbursement if the problem became a "recall" later on. This car was brought to dealership for every maintenance. This car is still not completely paid for. This "hybrid" car did not save me a penny in gas because of the abs part will cost me over $2k. These hybrids should come with disclaimers that batteries and electronic parts cost more than non-hybrid cars and maybe people will not buy them. The costs are outrageous! they should come with extended warranties.
