NHTSA Complaint #10266647 — 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA

2005 TOYOTA COROLLA DID NOT PASS EMISSIONS INSPECTION. CAR TAKEN TO LIA TOYOTA, NORTHAMPTON, MA. DEALER SAID CAR COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT HAD TO ORDER PART FROM TOYOTA. SO FAR IT'S BEEN TWO WEEKS AND THE PART MAY BE DELIVERED IN ANOTHER TWO WEEKS PER TOYOTA. OVER 1600 OF THESE COMPUTERS ARE ON BACKORDER WITH NO DELIVERY DATE SUPPLIED. I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER EMISSIONS INSPECTION, COULD E STOPPED BY POLICE AND HAVE MY INSURANCE INCREASED FOR SIX YEARS. I FEEL THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND TOYOTA IS NOT REALLY RESPONDING TO ME OR OTHER CUSTOMERS AND BECAUSE THE PERT (VERY EXPENSIVE) CANNOT BE SUPPLIED BEFORE 4/30 I AM INCURRING ADDITIONAL EXPENSES. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A MONTH TO GET A PART. THE DEALERSHIP IS WAITING FOR 12 OF THESE COMPUTERS AND IS BEING SHIPPED TWO AND HAS 3 CARS THAT DON'T EVEN RUN. *TR
