The contact owns a 2001 Toyota Echo. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start, even after repeated attempts. A mechanic inspected the vehicle and concluded that the crankshaft position sensor was the cause of the failure. The component needed to be replaced. The manufacturer stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 06V266000 (engine and engine cooling); therefore, they would not assume responsibility for the repair. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 109,000.
