Consumer Description

I OWN A 2002 SEQUOIA. SATURDAY MAY 4, 2008 MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED. NOW THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $5,000 TO REPAIR. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS TOYOTA SEQUOIA OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THOSE WHO WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY DIAGNOSED HAVE FOUND THAT OTHER SLOPPILY MANUFACTURED PARTS DISINTEGRATED AND GOT INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO FAIL. I HAVE REPEATEDLY CONTACTED TOYOTA'S CUSTOMER LINE ONLY TO BE REPEATEDLY TOLD TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TRY TO WORK OUT A DEAL. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE COIL PACKS REPLACED TWICE ON THIS VEHICLE. THE ONLY THING THE DEALER KEEPS SAYING IS THIS IS WAY OUT OF THE NORM FOR A TOYOTA, NEVERTHELESS CHARGING UNGODLY AMOUNTS FOR IT TO BE FIXED. HAD THIS CAR BROKEN DOWN ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE I WOULD NOT BE HERE TO MAKE THIS COMPLAINT. *TR
