Engine failure
I have a 2023 SR5 with 40k miles with the engine recall. My engine failed and was towed to my Toyota dealership about 5 weeks ago. I was told the first week they had it that the engine would need to be replaced. Ever since then I’ve called the service department asking for updates and all they can say is that they are waiting on Toyota to get back with them on what they recommend the next steps should be. I called yesterday and the service person told me they’ve ran into this 3-4 times and the customers just ended up trading in their trucks. I actually bought this truck 3 day’s before the engine failure from a different dealership, so I don’t feel like trading in a depreciating asset after 3 days of ownership would be smart.
Has anyone who successfully had the engine swap have any recommendations or insight on this process?
