| Description of the problem | Approximately one month ago the following warning signs appeared on my dash board: check engine vsc 4wd maint reqd i went to see a mechanic right away. He told me that a part known as an air sensor had stopped working. He gave me the following identification for the part: 02 sensor bank1 sensor1 he also told me that i needed to order the part through the dealer on the internet; i was not successful for there was no one responding with having the orinal toyata part. Next i called a local toyota dealer who told me that the part in question was on back order nationwide for a wait of at least 3 months! Meanwhile, i am told thati should expect higher gas consumtions and other related problems until the part was replace. I, as i am sure many other car owner, am outraged to be told that i have to wait at least 3 months for a part and then be placed on a long waiting list. This is the kind of staff, i thought tht only happened in controlled economies! This is costing me money in higher gas consumtion while the company is nowhere to be found with a satisfactory explaination and apology to customers! |
