I become an owner of brand new Avalon '08 LTD just one month ago and I like the car from day one. Two days ago, in the morning, ready to go to work, started my car and got low oil pressure light on. As manual says 'CHECK', I checked oil level - was OK, but decided to go to the dealer to check what is wrong. There are 6 miles from my home to the dealership where I got my car and on the middle of the way engine start acting crazy, got noise under the hood - I slow down and stop and engine died and all lights comes on. Restarted engine OK, but still noise, and turned to the next street and shot off the engine. Looked under the hood and found engine oil all over. Check the oil level and there was nothing in the engine - but on the ground between my first and last stop, that about 20-30 yards in distance. Call to dealership and order tow car. Service manager at the dealership, when I get there, loan me a car and promise to call me at work. One hour later I was able to talk to him again and been told that they planning to pull engine out because Toyota rep is coming to investigate on Monday what was happend to that engine with only 560 miles??????
Anyone heard about such problem with Toyota's engine?
Will update Monday
