I BOUGHT A PRE-OWNED VEHICLE FROM SLOANE TOYOTA, GLENSIDE, PA WITH MY SAVINGS OF $5,000 AND AFTER PUTTING LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $3,700. I THINK THE SALES PERSON KNEW IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND SOLD IT TO ME ANYWAY. I HAVE HAD MISFORTUNE AND DISHONESTY BEFORE FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP, BUT GO BACK BECAUSE I TRUST THE TOYOTA PRODUCT AND THEY ARE THE ONLY DEALER CLOSE ENOUGH TO MY HOME TO BE CONVENIENT. DO I HAVE ANY CASE AT ALL; CAN I GET HELP? *LA

WHILE DRIVING COULD HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM TRANSMISSION, AND AT THE SAME TIME, COULD FEEL VEHICLE LOSING POWER. DEALER WAS CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.*AK
