#713974October 27, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN #EG94-002 ON THIS MECHANICAL COMPLAINT, I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER, THEY SAID THAT IF TOYOTA ISSUES A "RECALL" ON THE DEFECT, THEY WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO THE REPAIR. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT OR THEY NEVER WOULD HAVE ISSUED THE SERVICE BULLETIN. IF THEY ARE AWARE OF THEIR MISTAKES, THEN THEY SHOULD PAY TO REPAIR THEM. THERE ARE A LOT OF DISGRUNTLED TOYOTA OWNERS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, AND I FEEL TOYOTA SHOULD OWN UP TO A BAD DESIGN!ECT

#711396September 15, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
WE TOOK OUR CAR INTO A FIRESTONE DEALER TO FIND OUT WHY THIS CAR WAS CHEWING UP TIRES. THIS IS THE THIRD SET OF TIRES WE HAVE PUT ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 63,000 OR SO MILES ON IT. THE LAST SET OF TIRES WAS PUT ON BY SAM'S AT 55,415 MILES AND THE HAVE ALREADY GONE BAD. THEY WERE TOP OF THE LINE TIRES AT 59.99 DOLLARS EACH. THEY WERE WARRANTEED FOR 50,000 MILES. THIS IS THE 3RD SET OF TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE AT 63,000 MILES. I THINK THERE IS A DEFECT THAT RUNS IN THESE CARS IN THE CV AXLE WHICH IS WHAT THE FIRESTONE DEALER TOLD ME WAS SHOT IN MY CAR AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS CHEWING UP THE TIRES. I HAVE HAD MY CAR ALIGNED, THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED REGULARLY ON THIS LAST SET OF TIRES AND THEY HAVE GONE BAD ANYWAY. THIS IS A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THE TIRES ARE WEARING QUICKLY AND UNEVENLY IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. THEY ARE ALSO SPLITTING.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 195/0HR14 )
