problem #1

Aug 072004

Camry 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles
I shifted from "park" to "drive", the transmission assembly cable broke. The vehicle had to be towed. A dealership claimed to have part in stock, upon arrival I was told part was not available to me for purchase. I special ordered & paid for the part & was told it would be in 8/11/04. On that date I was told there were none of these cables in the U.S., the earliest eta was 8/16/04. This was revised by sandy, Toyota parts delay team, to eta 8/18/04.
