Who told you gas was mixing with the oil? Was it an oil changing shop or a reputable mechanic? Get a second opinion. You drove the vehicle with out problems before you were told this.
No it does not. Lemon law applies to new purchases only, not used vehicles. It requires the new vehicle to have to be repaired 5 times or more by the dealership for the same problem to be a lemon.
You said you had the car for 4 months before you had a problem. I have never heard of a seal that would let gas mix with the oil. The fuel goes into the expansion chamber via the intake manifold. There is no oil running through the intake manifold, only gas and air. If gas is mixing with your oil, you would have a bent valve or a cracked head or block. If there is a cracked head gasket, then water and oil would mix.
there’s no lemon law because it is a used car.
the lemon law can be activated if the dealership has to fix the problem 3 times and they can’t. then you can initiate the lemon law.
Um no, you need to bring your vehicle over to a Toyota Dealership to have them look at it. If the problem occurs after more than once and they still can’t resolve your issue then yes it probably is a lemon.
Seals and gaskets do go bad all the time. In some cars more than others. But every car is its own business case.
I’d go back to the dealership and ask them to fix it free or report them for selling you a lemon. They might fix it, but why would you buy a car with no warranty? You’re in a pretty bad spot.
If you paid $15,000.00 from a dealership, how did they manage ‘Not’ to give you some kind of warranty? Even a 6 month warranty is something that you should have gotten.
If you still have 2 months to go, (on a whim, you should make the call and go over the tiny print), you may be able to talk your way into a cheaper car repair
Nope. Lemon laws protect the buyers of new cars from serious, recurring defects. A used car, sold "as is" doesn’t qualify.
I agree with Rod Knocker, get a second opinion on that one, Im no mechanic but I know enough to know thats wierd and Rod’s explination is right on.
Also what year is your car? if it cos $15k it shouldnt be that old? it might fall under the original facotry warranty? check with a different toyota dealer, let them know what you were told.
And no your car does not fall under a lemon law. There are states with lemon laws on used vehicles but Ive never heard of one longer than 90 days, and thats on a almost new car with very low miles.
