| Description of the problem | I took my rav4 to the toyota dealer for its regular check-up. I was told that the cars transmission blocks were broken and that they had to be repaired or car would shake and shudder. Also there was a safety issue. This car, a sport trim, only has a little over 60,000 miles. How could this happen unless it was faulty quality/work when assembling. I am being charged $1200. 00 to repair these blocks. I have driven hondas for 30 years and this is my 1st toyota. I have never heard of this. Never happened w/ a honda (no documentation as yet as i do not pick up the car until tomorrow.) |
