My car was driving fine for months, then out of nowhere it had a funny smell inside so I pulled over and parked it. When I tried to start it up again I drove 1 minute down the street and shut off. I was told that my engine locked up by toyota, but it was not their fault or mines. But that I have to pay to fix it. The car is 2018 less than 25,000 miles.
