2003 Camry problem

I have a 2003 Camry with 20500 miles on it that was making an
intermittent buzzing noise on light acceleration. It has gotten
worse lately so I took it in to the dealer. They found it was
the intake manifold and there was a TSB on it. They said it will
cost me $575.00 to fix it and they refuse to pay since the 3 yr
federal warranty expired 3 months ago. I think this is unfair
when the car has such low mileage. Can anyone advise me on how
to get Toyota to fix the problem? Any help will be appreciated.

Unless you had a Toyota dealership document the problem during the warranty
coverage period, the likelihood that you can make Toyota fix the problem is
pretty slim. The existence of a TSB does not have any bearing on whether
Toyota will fix the problem or not. On the other hand, if you have had all
routine maintenance performed at the dealership, then you can ask the
dealership to ask the district service manager for goodwill assistance, or
you can call the customer relations number in your Owner's Guide and ask
them for assistance.
