Consumer Description

WITH 100 MILES ON NEW VEHICLE, THE ENGINE SENSOR INDICATED FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER. DEALER SAID IF SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, BRING THE VAN IN. SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. AFTER WAITING TWO WEEKS FOR NEW TORQUE CONVERTER TO BE DELIVERED, DEALER REPLACED IT. NEXT DAY, THE TRANSMISSION COULD NOT BE SHIFTED OUT OF "PARK". SHIFT LEVER MOVED, BUT TRANSMISSION REMAINED IN "PARK". PROBLEM WAS DEFECTIVE CLIP. CLIP IS OF DIFFERENT DESIGN THAN THAT OF PREVIOUS YEARS' MODELS OF SAME VEHICLE. MECHANIC SAID THAT THE DESIGN OF CLIP WAS TERRIBLE AND INSUFFICIENT. DEALER ORDERED NEW CLIP AND WILL INSTALL IT UPON ARRIVAL. TOYOTA SERVICE ADVISOR ACKNOWLEDED BROKEN CLIPS OCCURRING ON OTHER MODEL-YEAR 2000 SIENNA VANS. IF SO, THEN WHY DID THE DEALER NOT PUT NEW CLIP ON MY VEHICLE WHEN THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED? WHY HAS NOT TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS CLIP? THE DEALER KNOWS THE CLIP IS BAD AND I BET THE MANUFACTURER DOES ALSO..
