Description of the problem | Even though this vehicle has nothing to do with this case, i consider that it is very relevant that i express my concerns with this vehicle due to the fact that i traded in my 2015 toyota prius for a vehicle that provided an unsafe driving experience to my family which was the 2017 toyota prius with vin number [xxx] after taking it to three different toyota dealerships to be evaluated by two different toyota field inspectors from toyota headquarters, toyota motor vehicles made the choice not to listen to our concerns and rejected to take responsibility providing me a safety hazard product in order to avoid lemon law and/or make me aware of the high levels of emf that the vehicle had. On april 18 2019, we never were told by the second field inspector sent by toyota headquarters the results of his findings. Big two toyota took advantage of the situation and convinced us to trade in this vehicle for a new 2019 toyota sienna. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
