| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 toyota sienna and three other toyota vehicles. Because i vacation and my extended families live in trinidad i shipped the vehicle there for my used. When i saw the recall, it was the shift lock solenoid assembly. For more than a year i tried to have toyota resolved this problem. Nowhere in the recall notice say anything about the vehicle location. It's a worldwide recall, so i thought it can be fixed at a toyota dealership in trinidad. I was told that they would look into it. I said if they gave me the part i can take it there and have the authorized dealer install the part. Now it a problem because they say the vehicle can only be fixed in the usa. It never said anything about that in the notice. I believed toyota have a responsibility to fix my vehicle with some kind of working together with me to resolve this matter. What can you do to help me in this matter, i don't owe anything. I am still paying for 2 of my new toyota cars. The part in the shift interlock system has a component the shift lock solenoid which prevent the shift lever from moving out of the "p" position unless the ignition is on and the brakes pedal is depressed. There is a possibility that the solenoid could be damage and the shift lever could moved out of "p" position with depressing the brake pedal. Resulting in the vehicle roll away, which could cause a crash. |
