Consumer Description

MY TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN RACING OFF AND ON FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE CAR JUST DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT. I WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN OUT OF MY STREET AND MY CAR JUST STOPPED MOVING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT TURNS OUT MY TRANSMISSION DIED AND I HAD TO SPEND SEVERAL THOUSANDS DOLLARS TO HAVE IT REPLACED. AFTER 8 MONTHS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND EVERYTHING I TRY DOESN'T WORK. I'VE REPLACED OXYGEN SENSORS, SPEED CENSORS, ETC. I'VE PUT MORE MONEY INTO THIS CAR IN THE LAST YEAR THAN I SHOULD HAVE. I SEE THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, TOO. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHEY THIS HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA YET. *TR
