Consumer Description

THE ISSUES WITH TOYOTA HASN'T JUST STARTED WITH THE 2009/2010 ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. AT LEAST FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT TOYOTA'S VEHICLES AND I HAVE 1 COMPLAINT TO POST. WE HAVE A 2002 SEQUOIA WITH 122K MILES. OUR TRANSMISSION WENT COSTING US APPROX. $4600.00. WE MAINTENANCE THIS TRUCK RELIGIOUSLY. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME(SOME WITH ONLY 70K MILES, I GUESS WE WERE LUCKILY). NOW THIS TRUCK COST BETWEEN 42K TO 50K OR SO AND 8 YEARS LATER I AM CHANGING THE FREAKIN TRANS. HOW THE HECK(USED LIGHTLY), DOES TOYOTA OR ANY OTHER AUTO MAKER GET AWAY WITH THIS STUFF? I ALSO HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING TO SEE HOW WE COULD GET TOYOTA HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PIECE OF [XXX] TRANS. I HAD A CHEVY CAVALIER IN THE 90'S COST AROUND 9K .NEVER HAD 1 ISSUE WITH IT ENGINE, ENGINE LIGHT, TRANSMISSION..NOTHING. I WILL CONTINUE TO RESEARCH AND BLOG HERE UNTIL I AM SATISFIED WITH AN RESPONSE FROM THE CEO. IF EVERYONE WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM COMPLAINS AND SCREAM LOUD ENOUGH THIS ISSUE WOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS FURTHER PLEASE CONTACT ME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
