Well at least it was covered. FWIW, the Camry with the thrown rod had about 70k on it. And the owner IS an attorney. So much for Toyota taking care of their owners.
To be fair, though, they did completely rebuild an old Camry's engine twice for free when it failed at 40k and again at 80k, even though it only had a 1yr/12k warranty.
Well, after eight years of use, tossing a rod can't necessarily be classified as poor build/assembly quality. That's long out of any warranty save the Koreans' at this point.
At only 70K in 8 years, I wonder how well maintained it was - most cars with that low mileage are actually ill maintained, as people tend to go by miles and not time, and that's a mistake.
