What owners wrote
I bought a new 2008 toyota scion. When my car broke down while driving, I had it towed to my mechanic. He suggested the engine was bad and would not touch it. Then I had it towed to the dealers. Its' engine died just short of the warranty miles. First the dealer tells me outright that in this economy there was no way the company would replace the engine.
