Just pissed off right now.
The ECU is going out in Andrea's matrix. 100k and the fkg Ecu WTF
I'm not so sure i'd buy a new toyota anytime in the near future (except a truck). Everyone I know with a passenger car built after 99 is having or has had tons of trouble with it. Almost wish we would have kept Andrea's Blazer (too much gas though) Only thing that went wrong with that was an intake leak at 160k. $10 part and an easy fix.
This ECU thing seems to be a very common problem but no recall has been issued. (toyota takes forever to do recalls it seems) Only a TSB that states if it happens before 80k then they will replace it. Oh well. Same thing happened to my buddy with an 05 corolla and had it at 82k and toyota wouldn't replace it. $1200 it was fixed.
Thanks to Chris at Fred Anderson I am going to be about halfing that. thanks Chris . Makes me glad with have a friend who is a parts man and supports the club.
Was going to pay down some of the mountain of debt with it but oh well SHT happens.
Rant off
Still love the cruiser and yota trucks.... just not sure about their cars anymore.
