Default Re: Threw a rod at the dealership!

Everyone I have discussed this with all asked the same question - Why would the dealer test drive a vehicle after a test drive? I called 2 other dealers within this same franchise and they both said they would not test drive for a tire rotation unless the customer made a specific request. I have now spoken with the G.M. and he also denied full responsibility but offered to install a used motor at cost. He indicated that this particular dealership does test drives after tire rotations while others might not. Yeah right! I am now pursuing Toyota and consulting an attorney. In hindsight, it's easy to say that I should have had someone else complete the teardown & diagnostic.
