so it was due for a new timing belt & also been having this problem getting the car started. like if i don't use the car for a day/few days.. or sometimes it'll happen the same day if it's been a really long time in-between usage(like early morning & then not using the car again till the evening) where i'll go to turn the key and nothing will happen... like you'll hear a clicking sound & the lights come on & whatnot(sometimes you'll even hear the engine but it'll cut out) but you won't actually be able to get the car started until you'll tried turning the key a bunch of times.
anyway, i was explaining all this to the people at Toyota this morning & just got a call from them saying that the timing belt is out of stock but they are getting it sent over from another dealership.. although!!.. as far as the key turning thing goes, they are saying "we can't duplicate the problem you are having".... well duh, considering i just took it there this morning! so what, they aren't going to fix whatever the problem is with the ignition/starter now?
i had told my friend about this problem and he said he used to have the same thing happen to his old Celica(as well as his mom's old Corolla) and said it was the ignition cable or switch.. so why doesn't Toyota realize this?
part of me wants to call them back and/or just walk over there right now & try and straighten this out but i'm not sure what to say/how to get them to know what to do.
do any of you have any suggestions? i'd really appreciate any help. thanks!
