Description of the problem | Manufacturer: toyota motor corporation vehicle identification no. (vin): xxxxxxx. Bought a toyota certified at dealership, (push button) however in six occasions, car engine would not turn on. Indicator light for steering was on. After several tries, and once i pulled the steering hard then car started fine. Took car to dealer to check it, they said nothing was wrong with car. The last time, the car did not start even with the toyota road assistance staff/towing, was unable to get it out of garage, area was too low. Ended up leaving car at garage overnight. Next day, i returned the car, did a trade in for new toyota. However, dealer or toyota co. Did not admit problems with car. Battery was functioning fine as everything else would turn on, ie, radio, ac .. Fan, lights. |
