I’m writing to formally express my serious concern and disappointment regarding how my vehicle was handled at your Murray, KY Toyota service center.
I brought in my 2023 Toyota RAV4 (2T3P1RFV5PW378114) for diagnosis after it was mistakenly fueled with diesel. Your team provided a diagnosis suggesting spark plug damage and possible engine failure, and even went so far as to recommend a complete engine replacement with a used engine with no warranty.
I had the car towed to another certified Toyota dealership for a second opinion. Upon inspection, they found that your service team had not even drained or cleaned the diesel out of the fuel system — a basic and necessary first step. This failure to perform standard protocol is the likely reason the car wasn’t starting.
Additionally, the second dealership confirmed that:
• The spark plugs are in good condition.
• There are no signs of catastrophic engine damage.
• They estimate the car can be running after approximately 3 hours of labor and a sensor replacement, which is vastly different from what I was told.
I paid your dealership for diagnostics under the expectation that a proper inspection would be done. Instead, I was misled and nearly moved forward with an unnecessary, expensive engine replacement that could have cost thousands.
I am requesting:
1. A full refund of the diagnostic fee I was charged.
2. A written explanation of why proper fuel contamination protocols were not followed.
3. An internal review of this incident and assurances that this will be escalated appropriately.
Thank You for your good service.
