| Description of the problem | While driving down the interstate the check engine light and traction control light came on and the vehicle loss engine power and began to slow. After i could not accelerate and it became unsafe for me to drive without the possibility of an accident occurring and possible injury or death, i pulled over and had to limp vehicle back home. Toyota refuses to fix it saying it only offers replacement on the 2007-2010 toyota vehicles. The defective part number is the same on my 2011 as all the other toyotas but they stopped covering it in the later models. The dealer said they had to repair so many that at one time there was a 60 day backlog on parts. This is ridiculus and toyota is risking the lives of those that drive their product. I will have to pay to fix this on top of what i paid for the vehicle. I will warn everyone i can reach to never buy a toyota. Toyota has become a company of subpar customer support and deserves every class action suit they get filed against them. Whoever begins one on these failed air injection pumps count me in for the refund and the mental anguish of trying to get toyota to stand behind their product!!! This could have cost me my life!!! Unsafe!!! |
