Hi All,
I bought a camry LE 4 door, 4 cylinder, automatic in 2008. As per the manual took the vehicle for both 5,000 and 10,000 mile service. At 10,000 mile service i informed them vehicle is drifting away. The dealer told the wheel alignment was out of specs and fixed it.
In Feb, 2009 (around 12,000 miles in the vehicle) when i was driving in the Freeway, the Engine coolant indicator suddenly went to Red Zone and vehicle started decelerating. I escaped major accident on the freeway and pulled the vehicle to the shoulder. Then towed the vehicle to the dealership.
THe dealer took one month to replace everything new Engine,Radiator, Computer System etc etc...
I totally got disappointed with this vehicle and asked both the dealer and toyota to replace my vehicle..THey told me to file for arbitration. I submitted all the repair orders to arbitration..
The National Centre for Dispute settlement called me whether i would like for Oral hearing or Document only mode submission.. I opted for document only mode since for Oral hearing i need to be present at the dealership office.
In my arbitration i have asked toyata to refund my money back considering it as a unsafe vehicle
I have the following questions
1) Iam living in the state of Michigan and so whether my case is eligible for lemon law.. I cannot wait for the problem to occur three times..Engine failure is something rare and highly dangerous situation
2) Is there any other documents i need to present..I have submitted just the repair orders
3) Can anyone share thier similar experience
