“IT APPEARS THAT TOYOTA HAS CREATED ARTIFICIAL OBSTACLES TO PREVENT MY OBTAINMENT OF AN ELIGIBLE REIMBURSEMENT FOR RECALL (SAFETY RECALL A9E - TIRE CARRIER CABLE) REPAIRS. IN RESPONSE TO THE RECALL NOTICE I HAD THE CABLE INSPECTED THEN CONTACTED TOYOTA IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECALL LETTER BUT I WAS DENIED REIMBURSEMENT. ON OCTOBER 2, 2013 I WROTE TO TOYOTA FOLLOWING THE INSPECTION AND ATTACHED THE ORIGINAL WORK ORDER FROM A TOYOTA DEALER FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF PART NUMBER "51900-08010" AS REQUIRED. I RECEIVED AN OCTOBER 17TH RESPONSE SAYING I NEEDED TO PROVIDE ANSWERS TO THREE QUESTIONS:REASON THE VEHICLE BROUGHT INTO THE REPAIR FACILITY; THE REPAIR FACILITY DIAGNOSES, AND THE REPAIR PERFORMED IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE CONCERN.

“ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 1998 TOYOTA SIENNA ON I75 IN ATLANTA GA WHILE VISITING FRIENDS, WAS ABLE TO GET TO MEDIAN BEFORE IT DIED. HAD IT TOWED TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO VERIFIED SLUDGE BUILD UP. CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT ENGINE FAILURE. WAS TOLD TO TAKE VAN TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN SC (WHERE WE LIVE) TOWED THE VAN HOME TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP WHO ALSO VERIFIED SLUDGE BUILD UP. WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS IN THEIR ENGINES BUT WAS NOT GOING TO PAY FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE RECEIPTS PROVING THAT OIL/FILTERS CHANGES WERE MADE. WE CHANGED OUR OIL EVERY 3000 MILES WITHOUT FAIL. IF WE DIDN'T ENGINE WOULD HAVE DIED SOONER. TOYOTA DID SAY THAT WE COULD PAY FOR REPAIRS $9000 AND THEN SUBMIT RECEIPTS FOR REVIEW AND MAY BE REIMBURSED FOR REPAIRS. STILL FIGHTING WITH TOYOTA, HAVE MADE COMPLAINT WITH BBB. POLICE WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE, I WAS ALONE WITH 4 CHILDREN. *NM”
