NHTSA Complaint #10893312 — 2013 SCION FR-S

I DRIVE A FRS, AUTOMIATIC. BOUGHT IT USED WITH 80,000 MILES. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS TWO MONTHS INTO OWNING IT. HAD A FEELING LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO STALL. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE TRACTION LIGHT. CODE READ P0019. CAR WOULD SHAKE VICIOUSLY WHEN I WHEN STOP AT A RED LIGHT. SHOOK WHEN I REVERSED SOMETIMES. STARTED IDLING REALLY LOW. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY. THEY SAID THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, $6,450. READ A LOT OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS FROM OTHER FRS OWNERS. CALL CORPORATE, THEY BUILD A CASE FOR ME. COMPLETELY BLEW ME OFF, BECAUSE THE CAR WASN'T SERVICED WITH THEM THROUGHOUT 30,000 MILES BY OWNER BEFORE. THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T HELP A USED CAR. MY HOUSEHOLD HOLDS 6 TOYOTA CARS AND THEY DIDN'T DO ONE THING TO HELP, BUT OFFERED $1,000 IF I BOUGHT A NEW CAR OFF THEM. I'M IN SCHOOL AND HAVE TO PAY OTHER THINGS AND I TRUSTED THEM AND THEIR VEHICLES AND WAS JUST BLOWN OFF LIKE NOTHING. IT SUCKS TO FINALLY BUY YOUR DREAM CAR AND ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE'S SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. TOYOTA FAILED ME. ODOMETER READS 87,000
