Comments on Long Time No Blog News and views from the Licquia family 2009-07-03T21:24:56Z https://www.licquia.org/archives/2005/08/08/long-time-no-blog/feed/ WordPress By: Charlene Blake Charlene Blake http://www.petitiononline.com/TMC2003/petition.html http://www.licquia.org/?p=111#comment-127270 2009-07-03T21:24:56Z 2009-07-03T21:24:56Z Thank you, Jeff, for exposing the likes of “George Jones” and other entities that choose to protect Toyota—even if they have to impersonate and use numerous pseudonyms (see http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/toyota/TKAP9JUPO3R94CCI2 for more evidence of a Canadian who wishes to defame and discredit me). Believe it or not, the problem continues to date!

Several other Toyota owners are speaking up on the current Toyota engine oil sludge or gel problem. Take a look at http://www.toyotaoilgel.com. Check out http://www.uc2.blogspot.com to see what owner has faced at his local Toyota dealership and more. Read the complaints on the online petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/TMC2003/petition.html.

Take a look at YouTube.com under “Toyota Engine Oil Sludge” or “Toyota Oil Gel” to see how the problem originated. Then, note the almost 3,000 signatories on the online petition “Toyota Owners Unite for Resolution: Engine Oil Sludge.” It seems that Toyota owners are complaining they have been left out of the “Customer Support Program for Engine Oil Gelation.” Still others say that Toyota has kept information about it hidden from them.

Toyota owners should file owner complaints at the NHTSA and the Center for Auto Safety. They should send Toyota a certified letter to formally notify it of the problem. Then, they should ask for full repair cost coverage under the provisions of the CSP.

Toyota owners can follow “toyotasludge” at Twitter.com for updates.

Back in 2004, two key consumer sites went down at the same time. Toyota owners were very actively discussing Toyota engine oil sludge and Toyota’s follow through, or lack thereof, on the CSP. It was as if someone wanted those sites to be eradicated. The moderator at one of the sites admitted multiple hacking until the site went down permanently.

At any rate, none of the very legitimate and informative postings from those two sites is accessible now. Convenient, huh?
