A . Fraudulent representation on 160 point assurance certified used car:
Vehicle does NOT pass 160-Point Quality Assurance Inspection
I purchased a certified used Toyota car on 12/22/2008(with mileage about 32500) The certified car should pass 160-Point Quality Assurance Inspection
Between on 12/22/2008 and 1/1/2009 ( 1 and 6 days after the purchase), I find the following problems on the car, these problems indicate that the car HAS NOT gone through the complete 160-Point Quality Assurance Inspection at all and could cause life threatening problems while driving.
1. Front and rear tire valve are both leaking and missing valve sensor. The rear right tire valve was leaking on 12/23/2008 and the ABC brake sensor was on so I drove the car to the service department on 12/24/2008. They claim they fixed the problem and also checked all the other tires and make sure they are working.
2. On 1/1/2009, the front right tire was leaking again and the ABC brake sensor was NOT on (I have the mechanic report to prove that). This caused disaster on 1/1/2009 trip. The complete front tile flatted because of valve leaking and no indicator of the leaking. I was on high way 5 to Las Vegas (at 80 miles/hour), and a person found our flat tire when we were at break at Lost Hill.(fortunately we exit highway 5 for a break) At the time, the front right tire was completely flat and we did not know how and where we can repair the tire. We called the Toyota towing service and the car was towed to the nearby tire repair shop. The complete repair report was enclosed with this letter.
