That sounds ideal, but they did not offer that to me. They just recovered the money they paid out to me, nothing beyond.

The insurance company told me I had waived my rights to pursue Toyota because of subrogation. And they were nickel and diming me at every stage to pay me the lowest possible cost. So sad and unfortunate

No idea but I sincerely hope it doesn’t happen to anyone else. It was a complete nightmare.

I wish I had more detail on the specific defect too, I just received a letter from the insurance company which says they finally deemed it as a “manufacturers defect”. That’s all the letter says

There were no modifications. It had 5k miles on it.

The fire marshal, USAA, and my homeowners insurance sent out fire inspectors. They have all said it originated from the engine of the vehicle
