| Description of the problem | Dated: march 10, 2010 i own a 2008 rav 4wd. On three separate occasions when driving the car engine began to accelerate badly, we took the car for service to the interstate toyota, in monsey, ny on two separate occasions, first on february 17th and then on february 23rd, 2010. Interstate toyota claims that they can not duplicate the problem, therefore they do not know how to fix our racing situation. The dealer informed us that they obtained a case number for us and that we should contact the manufacturer at 1 800 331 4331. Our complaint is that in as much as we called the manufacturer we could not get thru to any one. The dealer will not make any repairs unless they are ordered by the manufacturer. What should we do? In anticipation for your assistance, we thank you. |
