Description of the problem | I was going home from work (20km) and ramping down the hwy exit to the stop sign, i heard a rapid clapping noise until the car stopped to never start again. My local car repair shop said that it needs a new motor. The car odo is 90,000km and 6years old. Toyota canada basically said that the car was no longer under warranty and they can't do anything about it. I'm in my fifties and the car has an automatic transmission. I purchase the car just to drive to work and looking good doing it. Now i can't even find a decent used motor.... The car is spotless in a-1 condition. I'm furious right now. I filled this complaint because it makes me feel good. I'm a canadian citizen and can't fill a us complaint thank you |
