| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Me 2000 toyota corolla has a leak in the pipe containing the cat converter and resonator. when my car was manufactured, the exhaust system contained these parts in one long piece. being that the leak is in this pipe, near the resonator, i brought it to the dealer to be replaced under warranty. my car is well within the years and mileage for warranty replacement. the dealer says that toyota now makes the replacement part only in 2 pieces, not in one piece as was installed in my car. they tell me that because of this, i must pay to have the pipe replaced. i feel that because toyota made this pipe in one piece on my car, that the replacement of the piece, weather by original manufactured method or by the now two piece method, should be covered under the federal emission warranty and be repaired at no cost to me. please respond as to weather toyota can do this or if they are trying to get the consumer to pay for something that should be covered. thank you *tr |
