Consumer Description

I TOOK MY RAV4 TO THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR ITS REGULAR CHECK-UP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CARS TRANSMISSION BLOCKS WERE BROKEN AND THAT THEY HAD TO BE REPAIRED OR CAR WOULD SHAKE AND SHUDDER. ALSO THERE WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS CAR, A SPORT TRIM, ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 60,000 MILES. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN UNLESS IT WAS FAULTY QUALITY/WORK WHEN ASSEMBLING. I AM BEING CHARGED $1200.00 TO REPAIR THESE BLOCKS. I HAVE DRIVEN HONDAS FOR 30 YEARS AND THIS IS MY 1ST TOYOTA. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS. NEVER HAPPENED W/ A HONDA (NO DOCUMENTATION AS YET AS I DO NOT PICK UP THE CAR UNTIL TOMORROW.)
