Toyota Pt901-42601-45 Equipment Mechanical Safety Report | Jan 28, 2008
Reported on Jan 28, 2008
| I HAVE A TOYOTA RAV 4 4WD 2001 MODEL. AT 47,000 MILES I HAD AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT DONE BY LYNCH TOYOTA UNDER WARRANTY. 25,000 MILES LATER VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CRACKED FLEX PLATE. REPAIR WAS DONE BY AAMCO AND IN THEIR WRITTEN REPORT THEY STATE THAT DUE TO AN ALIGNMENT DOWEL THAT WAS CUT OFF WHEN LYNCH REPLACED THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE BECAME MISALIGNED AND THE FLEX PLATE CRACKED. IN ADDITION THE TORQUE CONVERTER ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE REPORTS WERE HANDED TO LYNCH AND THEIR SERVICE MANAGER DOES NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND REPORTED THAT THE CRACKED FLEX PLATE WAS MORE THAN LIKELY DUE TO POOR MATERIALS. I STILL HAVE THE FLEX PLATE AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A WAY TO HAVE IT CHECKED TO FIND OUT IF INDEED IT WAS MADE FROM POOR MATERIALS. AAMCO DON'T APPEAR TO BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE CASE. *TR | |
