Description of the problem | Takata recall-this past sunday my car had been parked in the drive way for a few days and when i went to drive my car and there was a strange noise under the hood, i backed out of the drive way and when the car shifted from first to second it jurked and was not smooth so i parked the car. I looked under the hood and there were mouse dropping on the engine. I called toyota on monday morning and they said to have it towed so i did monday night. Today wednesday they called and said there were a lot of wire damage and something else but they still not able to find the problem. They said at this point it was going to be $500 maybe more. And not under manufacturers defect warranty. Which i think if they are going to put something in the wire casing that rodents love then they should correct any problems as a results of the product used at no cost to the customer. My car is a $45,000 car and i have only had it a few months. This is bull. |
