Description of the problem | I leased 2013 toyota rav4, around 2900 miles the warning and indicating lights on the instrument panel lit up while i was driving. Took the car to the dealer who determined the cause was "some one hit abs sensor and cut harness ..." since the sensors were not under warranty, it will cost me $600 in repairs. The failed sensors are used for vehicle safety and traction control . I think that the cable harness should be designed to be better protected from road hazards and the customer should not be liable for toyota design flaws. Plead find attached some supporting documents. Thank you, |
