I took the vehicle to the Toyota dealer, joe machens, in columbia missouri complaining about the problem. They stated nothing was wrong with the vehicle on several occasions. I requested they escalate the problem to their regional division who stated that I was the only one making this complaint. Clearly, I was not the only one with this problem. …”
