| Description of the problem | I bought 2007 camry le at poway toyota last 7-25-06. About 2nd week of august i pulled the latch hood opener inside my car to check my engine and next thing you know the handle that was holding the wire broke. Now, everytime i have to open my hood i have to pull the wire because the plastic that was holding the wire broke off. I owned a honda civic for 11 yrs and my hood opener never breaks. I have not yet report this incident at poway toyota because there was an incident at that time when i serviced my car for teflon and scotch guard and when i got my car back they scrape the bottom front panel of my car and for my inconvenience i have to bring it there to have them fix it free of charge. I was not happy at all at their service after what they've done to my brand new car which i just bought last 7-25 and i don't know what else i would find a defect to my car. *nm |
