I wnet to Jiffy lube on 04/07/2007 for an oil change for my TOYOTA siena mini van(1999 model with 80000 miles), The guy took the key and did the service(apparently not) and charged me 43.93 . After 2 months my Van engine suddenly gave me very loud rattle noise in the middle of the road, I asked the towing service to tow my vehicle to the auto repair shop and they told me there is not enough oil in it and due to that the whole motor burned up. It would cost me thousands of dollors to replace the engine. apparently the jiffy lube didn't put the oil or didn't put the enough oil. I also went and talk to the Jiffylube guys and the manager said he can not help me over the issue that happened 2 months back, I am really feeling helpless in this situation.

My 2005 Toyota Corolla was purchased used in 2005 with 15,000 miles on the engine. I changed the Oil every 5000 miles 5 times and Walmart changed the oil the last time. The car now has 44,000 miles on it. When the engine idle is increased the the engine makes a noise presumably a bearing problem. The car was taken to Courtesy Toyota for diagnosis along with the 6 year 100,000 mile (990.00) Warranty and a copy of the Owner's manual wich states that lack of reciepts are not soley a reason for warranty denial. The car was not diagnosted further than inspection of the oil pan. The warranty claim was denied due to a large amount of sludge.

The unofficial quote from the Toyota dealer was 7000 to repair the engine. The car is worth almost nothing for resale value although we still owe 18000 in principle not including the repair. I also own a 2006 Corolla if this car has the same problems it will cost me over 50,000 for the two cars and ruin my credit.

We bought a 2004 toyota Corolla S brand new in 04. I did the oil changes in it up to date, I did not keep the receipts from the oil and oil filter purchase. I recently took it to Leith Toyota because of oil consumption, Derrick McClay told me that Toyota has vehicles with the oil consumption problem but he didn't hear of and corollas having that problem. I left the car there at Leith for them to check out. I then received a call stating that the engine was full of the jelled oil but because I did the oil changes myself and didn't keep the receipts for the oil and filters, that there was nothing they could do about it for me. On top of everything in order for me to get my car back I have to pay them 112.72 for one hour labor, a test on the oil, and an oil change on the car. Is there anything you can do to help me?

Engine is basically needs to be replaced in excess of 6000.00 cost to me.

I bought my 2001 Toyota Camry with 1 mile on it. I changed the oil every 7,500 miles as suggested in the owner's manual. Since I put alot of highway miles on my car, the 6 month thing didn't apply. In December of 2004 I had 122,000 miles on my car and the engine just stopped. I paid 4200 to replace that engine and now 73,000 miles later I am being told that the engine needs replace yet again, another 4000. Granted there are high miles on this vehicle but it has been maintained and should not be costing me 4000 evey couple of years just to keep it going.
