Consumer Description

AT APPROXIMATELY 90,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CHECKING WITH TOYOTA DEALER, THEY INDICATED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER MUST BE REPLACED. THEY FUTHER INDICTATED THAT THERE IS A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER FOR THIS ITEM AND THEY ALREADY HAVE 10 VEHICLES ON THE WAITING LIST AT THEIR DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE, FROM THIS INFORMATION, THAT THIS MUST BE A PROBLEM THAT IS A RESULT OF A DESIGN DEFECT AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY TOYOTA.
