Threw a rod at the dealership!
I have a 2000 4Runner SR5 that I took to the local dealer for an oil change & tire rotation. They apparently test drove it due to the tire rotation and 50 yards after leaving the parking lot it threw a rod through the oil pan! It had 129,000 miles, oil changes every 5000 miles and no indication of any noises or problems. It seems incredibly coincidental that I drove it 129k miles without any problems and the dealer threw a rod after 50 yards. What could they have done wrong to cause this? At the moment the dealer has indicated that a rod bolt broke loose causing it to throw the rod but they have not indicated who will be responsible.
