PRIMARY COMPLAINT: PURPOSEFUL DECEPTION REGARDING FULL BENEFITS OF EXTENDED WARRANTY OF ECM AND/OR TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT UNDER CLASS ACTION MILLIGAN VTOYOTA.THE EVENTS LEADING TO MY TRANSMISSION ISSUES BEGAN IN 7/ 2012. I HAD PROBLEM GETTING OUT OF MY PARENTS STEEP DRIVEWAY SO I TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE THAT HAD BEEN CHANGING MY OIL IN SISSONVILLE WV. UPON DIAGNOSTICS THEY REPORTED TO ME A SOLENOID CODE WHICH INDICATED A POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I WAS REFERRED TO AAMCO TRANSMISSIONS, HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD BEEN RESET AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET ANY CODES. AFTER BEING TOLD IT COULD POSSIBLY BE SOMETHING WITH MY EXHAUST AS WELL, I WAS REFERRED TO QUALITY EXHAUSTS BUT WAS UNABLE TO BE SEEN. THEN PROCEEDED BARKER'S IN DUNBAR. AFTER TEST DRIVING AND EVALUATING HE STATED I HAD BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT 7/18/12. WHEN THE TECHNICIAN PLACED MY CAR ON THE RACK HE STATED HE WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS WRONG BUT IT WAS NOT MOTOR MOUNTS AND WITH THE SYMPTOMS IT WAS HAVING I SHOULD HAVE MY TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT. I HAD IT TOWED TO LOVE LEXUS IN SAINT ALBANS.THERE I WAS TOLD MY ECM WAS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT.HE EXPLAINED IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD DUE THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. HE WENT ON TO SAY THE RAVS HAVE HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THESE COMPUTERS AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS PLACED AND APPLIED TO THEM.THE HARSH SHIFTING HAD NOT BEEN COMPLETELY RESOLVED. IN 9/12 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON.I TOOK IT BACK TO LOVE LEXUS AND EXPLAINED THE CONDITION AS STATED ABOVE.I ASKED IF THEY WOULD PLEASE TEST DRIVE IT TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTOOD MY COMPLAINT.AFTER THE DIAGNOSTICS WERE COMPLETE I WAS TOLD A FUEL SENSOR HAD GONE BAD AND WAS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT.
