FOR THE 2ND TIME IN 4 YEARS, THE AIR INTAKE PUMP/VALVES HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT WAS COVERED UNDER TOYOTA'S EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT COVERED THIS FOR 10 YEARS/150,000 MILES, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. I JUST TURNED 156,000 MILES, AND TOYOTA DOESN'T WANT TO COVER IT- THEY ALSO SAID EVEN IF I WAS UNDER 150,000 MILES THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT BECAUSE THEY'LL ONLY COVER THE REPAIR ONE TIME (UNLESS IT FAILS AGAIN WITHIN 1YEAR OF THE REPAIR). THE REPAIR COSTS $2,000+- AND IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A PERMANENT FIX. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT ALTHOUGH RELATED TO EMISSIONS, CAN BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE REDUCES ITS POWER TO 50% ONCE THIS ERROR CODE IS TRIGGERED. CONSUMERS DESERVE A PERMANENT FIX OR WARRANTY FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE IF THIS DESIGN FLAW CAN'T BE CORRECTED, EITHER THAT OR A REPAIR COST THAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN $2,000. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN STARTING AND OPERATING- A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AS OTHER LIGHTS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

1 complaint

MY CAR HAS RUN WELL UNTIL THIS PAST SPRING. I COULD DRIVE IT WITH NO PROBLEMS, BUT THEN GO TO GET IN IT AND IT WOULD NOT START. I HAVE HAD THE GAS TANK CLEANED, FUEL PUMP REPLACED, FUEL FILTER REPLACED, BACK IN A SECOND TIME AND THE "FUEL LINE WAS KINKED" FROM LAST REPAIR. HAPPENED AGAIN AND THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE KEY READING WRONG, USED SPARE KEY, HAPPENED AGAIN AND STARTED WHEN THE TOW TRUCK GOT THERE. HAPPENED AGAIN AND I DIDN'T BOTHER CALLING. HAPPENED AGAIN AND I AM PISSED!!! NOW BEING TOLD IT IS PROBABLY THE KEY, BUT SINCE THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND THE COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW ERROR READINGS, THEY ARE GIVING UP. RIDICULOUS!! SHOPPING FOR A FORD. *TR

1 complaint

FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, MY VSC, ABS, BRAKES AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON TWICE. THE FIRST TIME, THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE ON-BOARD COMPUTING UNIT (ABOUT $3000). THE SECOND TIME (LAST WEEK), THE DEALER REPLACE THE SAME UNIT AGAIN BUT I AM PAYING $1400 BECAUSE THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS VERY SCARY AS THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER ALL OF THE SUDDEN. *TR
