My 2006 Corolla with 40k decided to turn itself off while I was on the highway with our daughter in the car. We tried to make our way to the shoulder on i81s to return home and were almost prompted into an accident as a tractor trailer nearly rear-ended us. We had it towed to gault Toyota in endwell, NY, and the service center mentioned that for our car this part would not qualify for under warranty coverage. (we bought the car used from a private owner) please help us to help avoid a possible disaster for another family. The experience was somewhat traumatic by experiencing an unexpected engine failure in traffic and trying to think in a crisis environment to try to weave from the left lane to the right of the driving lane in a decent amount of traffic. I was personally shaken up reliving the details and possible consequences for the next few days. We now must pay almost $900 for this dangerous ordeal. We are also going to send a letter to our senator. (senator libous r-binghamton) we are petitioning Toyota to send us a part free of charge. Thanks, michelle mickelson.

We were charged a fee to diagnose a part which had not been broken-the battery-and after that debacle gault acknowledged it was the eg042-07 part-the ecu pressure control solenoid and the our diagnosis of the trouble code p2716 was correct- fee paid to gault $58) gault Toyota mentioned that the part is backordered and will take possibly until 7/07/09 to receive. Please help us to get this part and possibly our $58 service fee which was charged.
