Topeka KS Dealership Help!!

bigacuralvr · 06-07-2006, 11:54 AM

Well, the sound that we couldn't diagnose in my sister's 01 4Runner has lead to her being stuck on I-70 just outside of Topeka KS. She's having towed via AAA to the Toyota Dealership right now.

Does anyone on here work there, or know anybody there? It's my sister and her friend, and I want to make sure they don't take advantage of 2 women!

I am not 100% sure its the tranny, no fluid loss, clean fluid smell/look, just no movement when rpm's increase, in ANY GEARS.

PLease help a fellow Runner owner!!

Give me a call preferably(about to leave for a while) 303-888-4622 if you know of anybody, or you can post/pm as well.

Thanks in advamce guys....hopefully someone chimes in!!

Truck is five years old that is crap? I guess its not under warrenty. Did they say what caused this or why the tranny needs to be replaced. It can't be fixed?

sorry let us know what happens

Well, they said they wouldn't know what exactly went wrong until they take it apart. It has just over 103k on it, and warranty till 100k...dealer says they can't help her out. We'll write a letter, and try to get some money back, but who knows. It really sucks, because I know I can source a used one much cheaper, and do the work myself. But, the trucks in KS and I'm in CO. We'll see....and I will deff keep you posted.

Its all been done at Boulder Toyota, but it was bought at the same dealer in KS that it's at right now. She asked, and they said no...I called here, and they said no. So, we'll write a long letter, and hope something comes through!!
