Consumer Description

I HAVE A TOYOTA SCION XB AND I WAS DRIVING ON A SNOW COVERED ROAD. I HAD A DEER JUMP OUT IN FRONT OF ME. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FAILED AND MY WHEELS LOCKED UP AND I SLID INTO THE DITCH. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID A SPEED SENSOR WENT OUT. I ORDERED THE PART AND WAS GOING TO HAVE IT REPLACED FOR $90. WHEN THEY WENT TO INSTALL THE PART THEY FOUND A SHORT IN THE WIRING AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSED THE SENSOR TO FAIL. THEY WANTED ME TO PAY OVER $1000 TO HAVE THE WIRING FIXED. THEY GAVE ME A COPY OF THE SERVICE ADVISORY FROM TOYOTA STATING THEY KNEW THEY HAD THIS DEFECT AND HAD A REDESIGNED PART TO INSTALL BECAUSE OF CORROSION WHICH CAUSED THE SHORT. I REFUSED TO HAVE THE NEW PARTS INSTALLED BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR DESIGN FLAWS. *TR
