| Description of the problem | I had all the dash lights flashing and the transfer case stuck in 4wheel drive low, an engine misfire and vibration. I took it to my mechanic and he said it was an air pump valve problem. He cleared the codes in the computer and i drove it home. The next morning it did the same thing. I took it back and he got it running again. The weather has since warmed up and it hasn't done it since. That was a couple months ago. I found out that toyota was extending the warranty to 10 years and 100,000 miles. So i took it to foss toyota in casper, wy. They told me they couldn't fix it unless it malfunctioned right there on their lot. I contacted toyota headquarters by e-mail, i explained the problem and was phoned by someone at toyota. They told me the same thing. I say bullcookies. Those engine fail codes are still in the computer. And i believe they're stalling until my 10 years are up this coming september. This air pump repair is a $5,000. 00 to $6,000. 00 bill. I think toyota should repair my truck, i bought it from them in good faith, i had to have a $1,000. 00 + engine belt and a water pump put on it already, and now this? What are my options when dealing with a less than honest company? When the dash lights flashing and the transfer case stuck in 4wd. It was parked in my garage and i just started it up on a cold morning. Thank you |
