Consumer Description
OUR CAR WAS STATIONARY ALL 3 TIMES THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT OUT, WHERE WE COULD NOT SEE WHAT GEAR WE WERE IN, THE SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER OR FUEL GAUGE. ONE TIME, EVEN THOUGH WE PUSHED THE POWER BUTTON, THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. TOYOTA ADVISED THEY ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT, AFTER A TECHNICAL SERVICES BULLETIN WAS ISSUED, BUT WE DID NOT RECEIVE THE NOTICE. WE FEEL THE NHTSA SHOULD HAVE MADE THEM ISSUE A RECALL AS THIS IS NOT SAFE. TOYOTA TOLD US WE ARE PAST THE 9 YEAR ENHANCEMENT SO THEY ARE REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED IT, WE WERE TOLD OTHERS HAVE BEEN IN A SITUATION WHERE THE CAR CONKED OUT ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THEY WERE GOING 65 MPH. WE HOPE NHTSA WILL MAKE TOYOTA ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM.
