Toyota Responsability

[JacobRAV4]

Hi

I own 2 RAV-4 since I liked this car.

The older one is about 7 years old and I have a gear problem with this one.

Recently I have severe problems with the gear, in order to repair I need to replace the Gear with the computer attached to it, the cost is around 7500 US$ for a used GHear and 14000 us$ for a new gear.

Eventhough that the car has years old, it made quite small munber of kilometers so far, only 80,000 km.

Some experts told me that this problem is quite known wuth this model of RAV-4 and the root is problem witg the computer that within time damage the gear.

The local distributor tend to provide about 30% discount for the parts, the cost I mentioned here is after this discount, and this is for a used gear, so now I have to wait until a used gear will be avaliable. I can hardly use the car,The distributor does not recognized any responsability for this problem.

Anyone heared about any sumiliar problem with Toyota ?

Any advise what to do ?

Thank you.
