I purchased my 2018 GT as a RAV (with an extended warranty) just a few months ago. Ran great for the first month or so. But, a couple weeks ago, I was driving around town and my car started running rough, and the low oil pressure alarm blinked. Pulled over, checked oil, looked good.
I took it into the dealership I bought the car from and after a few days, they told me that it was burning oil and that oil was not reaching the top of the engine. They told me they ordered a new engine (my service advisor assured me it would be a new engine). They pulled the engine Tuesday and let me know they planned on having it done by Friday. I reached out today to make sure we were progressing and were set for pickup tomorrow.
However, I was informed that the car would be delayed because the gaskets needed replaced on the new motor. If this truly was a new engine, how would it be possible for the gaskets to go bad before it was ever used? Is there any way to confirm when I pickup the car next week that it is in fact a new engine? What questions should I be asking to make sure I’m covering my bases?
