| Description of the problem | 2009 toyota tundra, 5 mos after purchase(5-16-09),my drive shaft replaced, while driving will not change gears will accelerate by itself as if the cruise control is on which is caused the odometer to read incorrectly,(reading 44,000 miles) & use excessive amount of fuel . Several fluid leaks, muffler replaced, transmission will not shift properly when accelerating & when i come to a complete stop it take time before is shift into stop, & electrical problems. Engine light comes on, ticking noise & vibration in the motor. These have codes coming up. My truck need to be replaced because this is causing more problems for the future. One problem leads to another. I was told by ron carter toyota that i am being unreasonable for wanting my truck fixed right & not to bring it back to there dealer or they will call the police on me for wanting my vehicle replaced because i know i have been deceived & solded a lemon. I was told by the former service manager (now fired) bill crichton that i could look on the toyota web site & look for the tsb (toyota service bulletin) to find the info about tundra's , i have not found that info yet. Please help i am paying for something that is not operating properly or safely. This is my only means of transportation & all i want is a new vehicle with no problems. Thank you. |
