Consumer Description

SERVICE ENGINE AND MANY OTHER TROUBLE INDICATORS AT THE SAME TIME. TROUBLE FOUND FOR $80.00 LOOSE GAS CAP. DAY'S LATTER FOUND GAS CAP STRAP MISSING. RETURN TO DEALER WHO SAID THE STRAP IS WHAT CAUSE THE POOR SEAL SO THE TECH REMOVED IT (AS THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME). ASK TO PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT STRAP - NOT AVAILABLE. PURCHASED NEW GAS CAP WHICH COMES WITH STRAP (A 2 CENT ITEM) COST $25.00.TOTAL COST FOR A KNOWN PROBLEM $100. TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE LITTLE PROBLEM FOR MOST OR ALL OF ITS VEHICLE AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. IT IS A MONEY MAKER FOR THE DEALERS WHO NEVER SUGGEST LOOKING AT YOU GAS CAP. THEY CONNECT IT TO ANALYZER FOR $80.00. REMOVE THE STRAP AND SEND YOU ON YOUR WAY. SHAME SHAME SHAME. *TR
