| Description of the problem | At 200 miles noticed slippage in transmission. Reported problem to dealer, but was ignored and told that the computerized system needed to get adjusted to the driver. Over a period of time the problem worsened in spit of complaints to the service center. On 11/16/06 the car was finally taken in for repairs (i was told by a customer rep. That there was a valve that was defective and toyota would replace it. The car was expected on 11/17/06, but due to a problem it was set for delivery on 11/18/06 at 9am. When i went to picked up the car the service director said that they could not fixed the problem, and the transmission would have to be replaced. I was shocked and disappointed at this new development. Toyota arrogance and the dealerships incompetence and impolite response to my initial concerns is inexcusable. The matter at this time is unresolved since i no longer want this car. *nm |
