Legal Question in Consumer Law in Texas

car warrant vs repair charge

2004 toyota tacoma would not start with 57k miles. warranty ran out at 36k. repair shop fixed it and gave me a printout of a warrant for the computer that said computer was warranted for 80k miles. nothing in owners manual stated anything about this warrant. toyota claims they are not obligated to give this info out and had i brought to them, they would have fixed it for free. i would have brought it to them but when i first called them, they said it was not in warranty. now i am out $183 but it is running until the next time the computer code P0136 pops up. shoudnt the automakers make customers aware of all warranties on every piece of equipment on a vehicle?

They should, but they're not under any legal obligation to do so.

Let Marvin Zindler know about this. It'll probably get on TV and light a fire under Toyota.
