| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The gear selector fails when trying to move the selector from park to reverse to drive. also from drive to reverse to park. the problem has degraded to the point that all i have available at this time is neutral and drive. the dealer has told me that the cable that runs from the column selector to the transmission is kinked and will need to be replaced. the cable is special order which leads me to believe that toyota does not expect this part to fail. the cable is $150.+ and the labor to install is $350.+ on three occasions i have been backing out of my driveway onto pa rt 24 and oncoming traffic has had to stop while i tried to move the selector from reverse to drive. my position is that this cable was either manufactured incorrectly which caused the kinking or was installed incorrectly during assembly. the truck is not used commercially and has not been subjected to harsh use during the last two years. the truck will be repaired this week at my expense and i will be requesting the defective cable for examination. nlm |
