Consumer Description

WHILE PARKING AND PREPARING TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT OF WAL MART/TARGET IN ABINGDON, MARYLAND THERE WAS A THUMBING NOISE COMING FROM THE ROOF. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE FIRST PAYMENT HAS NOT BEEN MADE AND ALREADY THERE IS A DEFECT. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT IN WILSON, NC AT HUBERT VESTER TOYOTA ON 8 DEC 2012. I AM TOTALLY DISPLEASE WITH THE IRRITATING AND ANNOYING NOISE. MY WIFE CONTINUES TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO SWITCHING OUT CARS TO HAVE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED. SHE STATES THAT THE CAR IS MAKING THE NOISE WHILE DRIVING, I WANT TO JUST RETURN THE CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THAT CAN BE DONE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT BEING INVESTIGATED. IT IS A SHAME FOR THE CUSTOMER TO HAVE TO PAY OVER $30K TO HERE A THUMBING NOISE. THE CAR IS A V6, CAMRY SE, 2012. I'VE SPENT OVER 160K ON TOYOTA'S IN THE LAST 14 YEARS. REQUEST ASSISATANCE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE... IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THER IS HAIL OR BIG RAIN DROPS HITTING THE ROOF. *TR
