Description of the problem | I bought a 2004 toyota scion xb used from local toyota dealer in massachusetts the sales men talk me into getting the extended bumper to bumper warranty for $1400. 00 so i did. A year later i go to get my annual inspection sticker the car wouldn't pass i brought it back to dealer they diagnose the problem and told me that it needed a junction block, instrument panel part # 82732-52040, but it is not covered under warranty so much for bumper to bumper,$92. 00 to diagnose and $566. 00 to repair ,ok repairs get done now is time to get my inspection sticker again and guess what same problem call the dealer they want another $92. 00 to diagnose and if its the same part again they want another $566. 00 to repair i feel this is unjustified. The registry of motor vehicles in my state deem this vehicle unsafe and will not issue a sticker because their computer can not comunicate or read the information from my vehicles ecm. I personaly don't feel safe driving this car. Mean while i'm making payments on a car i can't drive ! P. S i do have the old part. Thanks. |
