| Description of the problem | Known issue of excessive oil consumption where the oil change light comes on just into 1,000 miles after changing oil. The local dealer at ira toyota of tewksbury, ma. 01876 - tried to fix the problem the first time but the problem came back or was still there. I have since complained to toyota us at 1-800-331-4331 they opened a case#1701232302 for my issue but now say that the local toyota and even regional stores cannot take my car back to fix it again the local store says that i am out of warranty because i came back after 14,379 miles i am now stuck with a car that has already stopped on me right in the middle of the street - with the steering wheeling blocking suddenly and for me having to veer quickly on the curb while the steering wheel is hard to control. I can hear a squeeling noise when i change gears ( manual car) and when i put the foot on the clutch. The car shakes a lot when i change gears and i am about to stop. I am afraid for my safety and of course lots of inconveniences because i cannot use this car for many activities involving my family or just anywhere past 10 miles of my house. I am hoping that i can get help with this issue which is a known issue by toyota, an issue that they did not fix properly in the first place and now they are just hoping that i can go away by denying me my rights to proper service. I told toyota us that it does not make sense how a known issue can be fixed and just within 1 year it comes back. |
