| Description of the problem | This complaint is about a 2007 toyota camry hybrid. I had many unusual occurrences when i first purchased my vehicle. None of them could be resolved because the toyota diagnostics said they did not occur. I assure you they did. The recent events surrounding toyota vehicles and at least what has been reported in the press regarding the inability to duplicate or see that the problem occurred is exactly what has happened in toyota vehicles. The dealer and manufacturer therefore conclude it is operator error. So when a malfunction occurs-probably caused by software-it is compounded by an additional software issue that will not allow anyone to figure out what happened. I am so disappointed in my vehicle as a result and even more disappointed in the people i turned over $32,000 to since everything was blamed on operator error. I assure you there was no operator error as is probably the case now with recently publicized events. I am convinced the diagnostic software or the interface between toyota's software and the diagnostic software should be checked out. |
