Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At just over 17,000 miles on the spedometer, the check engine light illuminated. i took it to my dealership, which informed me that the problem was a shift solenoid. upon replacing the shift solenoid, the check engine light continued to illuminate, and i was told that the problem may be the torque converter on the transmission, but the technical expert was contacting toyota becuase he could not definitively pinpoint the problem. i enquired whether the problem could be related to the current investigation of the throttle valve on 2002 solara's and could not get a straight answer from the service manager. in the meantime, i had been told the vehicle was drivable when the problem seemed to be the shift solenoid so i had been driving the vehicle for a week with the check engine light illuminated, assured by the dealership that the problem had nothing to do with the drivability of the vehicle. upon discovering the problem may be related to the transmission, they insisted on keeping the vehicle, and have been "running tests" on it since yesterday, with still no answer as to the exact problem. meanwhle, i am without a vehicle.*ak
