Ex Owners Of Verso's With The N Problem

[Hilary McCorry]

I was the proud owner of a Corolla Verso MMT from when it was first launched. I say proud as I loved the car. I too had the dreaded N problem during the first year and then nothing for a while. But during it's second year it occurred several times and despite having all the modifications carried out it still continued. When it was coming up to the end of the 3 year warranty, I like many others cut our losses and got rid of it. I too have written to VOSA as I don't feel they should still be selling this car. When I decided to sell it. I asked my local Toyota Dealership if they had sorted out the MMT problems on the new models as if they had I would have bought another one. They came back that the gearbox was still the original but they were not aware of any problems. The fact that my car had been in the garage numerous times didn't register. When I questioned it they said mine was the only one but they did admit that they hadn't sold many MMT models.

My query is, where do all of us stand that just gave up and sold our cars at a loss so as to have safe driving? If VOSA can do anything, and I hope they do, and the cars are recalled, do we still have any redress?

I would think that your rights to any redress would have dissapeared when you sold your car.

Those Verso MMT owners that have persevered with their MMT problems will be the only ones that may have some form of redress..............................You should move on Hilary...................What did you buy?

I have to agree with red yaris 54 on this one the difficulty would be to prove you have suffered any financial loss at the time of selling.

I am sorry but I am not very confident the the VOSA will come out with a clear decision but we will see.

I think the fairest way forward from a customers point of view and may restore some faith in Toyota is when a customer trades in a MMt Verso is for Toyota to subsidise with an extra payment to the dealer to increase the part exchange allowance on the trade in
