Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: From day one i had concerns with the transmission performance. it shifts very abruptly, up or down, at low speeds. hesitation is frequent and slippage occurs when trying to cross an intersection on merge into traffic, causing dangerous situations. i took it to the dealer, who claimed many times that it was normal, i must drive it more for the car to learn my driving habits. i filed a complaint with toyota, a representative drove the car, and express they would allow me to trade the vehicle, but later did not. after driving 3000 miles, took it back to dealer, now i was told that the car know my driving habits and when i try anything unexpected, it will not respond, this is "normal". also stated that i do not know how to drive this "new" non-wire vehicle, but i have driven for 40 years, and that is now a liability. i got tired of taken the vehicle to dealer, and arguments that end up in being my fault, short comings or lack of understanding; the car is fine and operates as it supposed to. i will just get out of this nightmare as soon as financially possible and will never buy or allow any one i know to buy any other toyota product (or lexus). *jb |
