i called the dealership where i bought it used from toyota, the general manager of the used lot said bring it in and they will take care of me and give me a loner car... i guess they got scared when i said i was going to return the car and ask for my refund since i had 3days to return it and weekends dont count since i bought it on a saturday and monday was a holiday

so heres the update, dropped it off after work at 6pm they said they will take it to the transmission shop, like i am suppose to be impressed by them saying that. Anyway so the general manager or whoever he was said if they cant fix the problem they will try to get me into another car, ANOTHER SALES TACTIC.

also prior to me getting to the toyota dealership to drop it off, the check engline light came on code 1776 and limp mode started to kick it,this time i left the light on for the them to see for themselves. I hope to get it back by tommorow, not trying to suckered into a gimmich pitch of a more pricier car cause i got it at $4500 at 58880 miles. I was maybe looking into the 2001 durango it has about 129,000 miles...


anyway i am ****ing car-less now and my chrysler 300m is unregistered and untagged since I transferred it to the intrepid. I did this because the chrysler is going to the bodyshop to get the left side front left and front irght doors replaced, left side fender dent popped out and center a/c vent clock replaced. I HAVE NO CAR AND I AM ****ED SO I THINK I WILL ENJOYING THIS "LALALALALAL"

the problems i had were that when i would drive over 40mph and turn the a/c on the check engine light would come on, and the RPM would jump high when i hit the gas causing my temp gauge to go up, almost felt like i was going into limp mode sorta. Replaced solenoid pack got the car back yesterday, drove it to work today no problems,

I plan on getting on the highway later today and exceed 40mph to see if the problem was resolved
