| Description of the problem | How can i get toyota to pay for the full amount of the spiral cable repair i had to make in november 2013, just prior to the recall? This was an expensive repair, and they have refused to fully reimburse the repair cost needed so i could drive a safe vehicle. I think they are refusing to do it because i didn't use the dealership--although i sent them the certified garage statement they requested as well as submitting the repair receipt, etc. I didn't use the dealership because they wanted much more to repair it and had a 4 week wait to get the parts and repair scheduled. |
