I bought my truck from Sparks Toyota and it had the much ballyhooed lifetime powertrain warranty. Unlimited miles, unlimited years. Sounds good right?
Water pump is leaking a little I noticed when I changed the oil two weeks ago at 65K.
contacted Sparks about this and they started lighting the flaming hoops I would have to leap thru to get warranty repair. All oil changes, tire rotations and all other routine maint services had to be done at the dealership or at least performed by an ASE certified mechanic. What does an oil change have to do with a leaking water pump?
Needless to say I have written off Sparks Toyota.
I will repair it myself and continue to change the oil in my garage.
