Consumer Description

I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUNCTIONING OF THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2005 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. IT BEGAN ONE MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE NEW CAR. THE PROBLEMS HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GROWN WORSE AND ARE MORE FREQUENT. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT THE HESITATION AND JERKING OF THE TRANSMISSION IS NORMAL AND A RESULT OF THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLLING OF THE TRANSMISSION. EVEN AFTER THE DEALERSHIP UPDATED THE SOFTWARE, THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO HAVE PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP NOR TOYOTA HAVE NOT OFFERED ANY SOLUTIONS. *JB
