Consumer Description

MY CAR KEEPS HAVING PROBLEMS. TOYOTA HAS REBUILT THE ENGINE IN JANUARY 2018. SINCE THEN, I'VE HAD A NEW ALTERNATOR THREE TIMES. THE LAST TIME WAS MARCH 2020. A NEW RADIATOR 2019, NEW SPARK PLUGS MARCH 2020, NEW FUEL PUMP APRIL 2020. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND PASSENGER REAR WINDOW WILL NOT COME DOWN. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR, JULY 29, 2020. YESTERDAY, JULY 24, 2020, MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND CUT OFF. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON (ENGINE, OIL OR BATTERY). IN THE PROCESS, THE BATTERY LIGHT FLASHED. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED FOR SERVICE. TOW TRUCK DRIVER GAVE ME A HOTSHOT AT MY REQUEST SO, I COULD ROLL THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS UP. MY CAR NEEDED A HOTSHOT TO DRIVE OFF OF THE TOW TRUCK TO PARK. TODAY, JULY 25,2020, ROADSIDE ASSISTANCES WAS CALLED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO JERRY'S TOYOTA BELAIR RD., BALTIMORE, MD. I WAS ADVISED THAT I NEED ANOTHER ALTERNATOR, AGAIN. THIS JUST MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD ALTERNATOR IN ABOUT TWO YEARS. FURTHER, I WAS ADVISED THAT THE MECHANIC 'THINKS' THAT THE MASTER SWITCH FOR THE WINDOWS NEED TO BE REPLACED. FOR SOME REASON, THE ALTERNATOR IS NOT LASTING IN MY CAR.
