Engine And Engine Cooling
I have read about issues concerning toyotas stalling out. I have a 2001 corolla and my car has stalled out 4 times in the last three months. There was no precursor that was similar to each event. Each time i was in a parking garage or slowing to stop at a stoplight. However, i shudder to think if this happens on the freeway. *tr

Due to engine sludge, the engine was not lubricated enough to keep the seals intact. Now oil is getting into the spark plugs causing misfire. Diagnostics resulted in a total engine replacement (engine cost not including labor) $5,000.00. Toyota should cover this, the rental car needed in the interim, and extend the warrantee to 120,000 mi covering similar repeated problems, as it is a manufacturer defect.
