Yes, the title is right. Broken camshaft on the new 5.7 L.
Going down the freeway w/ cruise set at 70 & started loosing speed & had to pull over. I then started it about 10 more times so i could get off the freeway & put it on the flatbed & towed it to SLC with my bro's tundra.
They do not know why it happened. Maybe overtorqued bolts, maybe it was dropped during assembly. They will be tearing into the heads in the morning & i'll know more then. I was told if something else caused it to break, then toyota will more than likely send out a new motor.
Should i demand a new motor?
Or, should i demand an extended warranty?
I feel like i should be concerned with future potential problems. And i think i should demand something.
Any and all input would be greatly appreciated, Thanks
