Good day, I service my 2010 Toyota Fortuner at Durban South Toyota in Isipingo Prospecton, Durban. Since around the second service I complained that my clutch engage position was too low. Since then, I've had a squeeky clutch and the gearbox was removed at first. The problem returned after 2 days. The gearbox was removed again and eventually the clutch pedel bushes were replaced and the squeeky clutch problem was resolved. I was glad after that repair that that my clutch engaged at a more comfortable position- about 1/3 up.
Unfortunately this did not last long. On complaining again, I did not get any feedback and no attempt was made to resolve. Now the problem is getting even worse. On depressing my clutch to the carpet, after travel about 15-20mm the clutch engages. This is very uncomfortable and too low. Is there someone who understands how the settings work and can influence the engage position?
I have complained about this to two dealerships. I went back to toyota dunning in Ann Arbor and again complained. I think it was the manager who with whom I was speaking ande he explained that it was a pump that cycles after the engine is turned off. I have again taken to stopping owners of the prius model if in fact they have a noise. Yes, but they all tell me it is a soft whirring noise. That is not what I have. It sounds like a rusty gear or rusty metal against metal and it can be quite loud. It is always after the engine is turned off and occas when I start it up or just before. Not sure on that one. The problem with the other sound is that it varies in intensity and I cant figure out the reason, so they dont hear it at the dealership. Someone would have to drive the car for a bit over a period of a few days to hear it. Seems to me a small thing to take it out and replace it. A response would be appreciated. This has been happening since I purchased the car this year.
I have a 2002 rav4 that has the transmission problem. I received a card in the mail last year took my vehicle to the dealer in Corbin Ky. The transmission had been acting up, shifting harsh at times. The dealer said could not find any problem. Just in the last couple weeks started having all kinds of problems, hard shifting. slipping, and almost locking up at times. really dangerous to drive. I took the vehicle back to the toyota dealer in Corbin Ky. said the vehicle had 138000 miles but the time frame for the warranty ran out in July.
Even though I had the vehicle there last year at this time I got no help It is ashame that a couple of months can do that to someone that has no money for repairs so I will have to park the vehicle until I can save up the money for repairs. I have owned 3 toyotas in my life and had gotten good service until now. Unless the God of Heaven changes my mind I will never buy another toyota and if I can change anyone's mind that is considering a toyota I will.
I have been a long time customer of toyotas and as a whole I have been happy. However, I purchased a toyota corolla 2007 and have had to replace hubcabs several time because of a poor design on the latch holding the hubcap to the wheel. I noticed this is not only me and when I try to go on line to purchase they are all out of stock. This should be addressed and a recall should be done and replace all hubcaps with a new design. I have already spend over 500 dollars and ready to buy another one. Enough Toyota.Stand up and take responsibility for your product.
I have been working on trading a car since the second week of Oct. The deal is not going well because of my credit. At least that is what I was told, after I was told twice I would drive off in a car that same day. I had been told weeks ago that I would have had a car by now, however as of last Sat, Nov3 I had to ask my sister to bring me to Toyota of Westchester. She told me I should get my title back from them until I could work out a deal. They said the office was closed.
I called yesterday, Nov 7, 2012 to go over the following information that I will share with you. After this weekend, my sister said I could share her car until I could save enough to put a better down payment on a car. Originally Sean and David said they would give me $3,500 for the Toyota Corolla 2005 that is located on Westchester Toyota because they appraised it there. I gave my title because I though I was driving out in the other car after the appraisal was done. When I called yesterday, David from finance said that Sean made the decision about buying the car straight out so that I can save and put more money done at a later day. When I spoke to Sean he told me he had to discuss this with David and would call me back in 20 minutes.
They have not called me. At this point I need to know that they will buy the car, because I need to get back to my sister. If they buy the car, then my sister will continue to let me share her car. I would have to bring her to work each day, but this way I could earn more money to put down and possibly get a different car with the trunk space that I need. I understand that price might go down a little, since I am not buying right away, however I am sure that it can be worked out when I come in to buy a used car from you in the next few months. I need to be contacted today, before my sister starts to take more action. I need to be emailed back to let me know how much will be given to me and if this can be finalized Friday, Nov. 9.
To Whom it may concern,
In November 2012 i bought a 2011 SR5 hilux in Melbourne. The vechile is now in Sydney, and two months ago i noticed that the struts supporting the hard lid, had popped out of the tub they were screwed into. I took the vechile to a toyota dealership in Sydney, they inspected the lid and sent me down to there pre-delilvery deparment to have it quoted up for repairs. The dealership where the vechile came from are doing everything to avoid fixing my hilux. I have supporting emails from toyota sydney, who have helped out big time, but Garymcmillans toyota in melbourne are not getting anything done. i.e they need to supply a Order number to sydney toyota so the repairs get paid for. I Still havent heard from the melbourne dealership and as a result, i cannot keep my tools in the back as i cannot lock the lid, and this is effecting my work.
This has been ongoing for now 9 months. When I purchased a second hand 2003 Ford Courier ute from Surf Toyota dealership, their second hand car area, it was unknown to me that it was really defective, riddled with rust underneath, purchased from another QLD dealership at a wholesale price of $9,500 a month earlier, and resold to me at $15,000. They put 6 months NSW rego on it getting a blue slip done on it the day before. 6 months later I went to renew the rego but it was knocked back by the RTA due to the worst case of rust they had seen for a car that old (8 years only) I went to a well known car dealership in good faith knowing that things like this wouldn't happen. I was wrong.
Surf Toyota will not reimburse me my $15000 that I paid for it. The car was inspected by an expert who deals with this situation, and I was quoted as atleast $15000 to repair due to it needing a completely new chassis. Another expert stated that if I had come to him to repair he would turn me away due to the extensive rust damage. The car is unrepairable. I have now attended 3 Tribunal hearings but with no result. My next step is to contact a Current Affiar and Today Tonight and get as much media attention and exposure as I can.
I have contacted Head Office Toyota before but all they said was that they could not have any say as Surf Toyota is a privately run business. I am sure when the brand name Toyota is blazed across everyones television screens in Australia you may sit up and pay attention. I am in the right, I have documented proof, photos etc, I am losing hundreds of dollars each week from not have a vehicle to run my registered lawn mowing business here in Tweed Heads.
I can email pictures if you like and inspection statements from experts. The pictures of rust are scary. Please reply and have some positive input as this will not go away. My wife's vehicle is a Toyota Prado and it has served us well, Toyota make great vehicles. It is a shame that Surf Toyota in Tweed South is going to bring your name into a really bad light as it is the main car dealership for the Tweed Shire. You need to get in contact with the manager there asap, Adam HALL. He came up with a limp solution and that was for them to repair it for $3000. This is not acceptable as the car is a rightoff and cannot be re-registered due to the RTA inspection etc.
I had an automatic loan payment set up with Toyota. I purchased a Honda 3 years later and my Toyota loan was paid off. One day I look at my bank account and even though my Toyota account had been closed over a month, they processed a payment of $380 on top of my Honda payment through my new dealership (so in 1 day I was chanrged just under $800 for car payments.) I contacted Toyota to resolve this and to hopefully just be credited for the mistake. Instead they said it would take 30 to 45 days to recieve the reimbursemnt in the mail because they needed to wait for the funds to clear in the bank and then they were not responsible for how long the postal service took to deliver the mail. So they really wanted me to believe that Toyota/Lexus doesnt have $380 to cover there own mistake and they needed to wait for the funds to clear.
3 out of the 4 people I spoke with were very rude and unhelpful. I asked to speak with any type of manager/supervisor and was told that would not be possible. Very dissapointed in this whole experience with Toyota. The car I had was a lemon, even though it was said to be "Toyota Certified" I had nothing but problems with it and will never purchase through or reccomend Toyota to anyone going forward, which is unfortunate because I had reccomended friends and family and probably made the company another $80,000 on top of the $20,000 they had gotten from me. But as always the "man" always gets away with screwing the consumer and did not have any solution to rectify it.
I purchased a Camry this summer. I pd. quite abite more so that I could get a GPS in the car. We plan to travel this winter and while practicing using the GPS I have found out that it doesn't use voice direction in rural areas. I took it to the delership and they told me that we are in a rural area and thats the way it is. They would help with updates etc. when and if they come. I have a smart phone and its GPS is light years ahead of the one I have in this car. My old portable Garmin is much better. I was looking forward in using it but I can't trust it they way it is. It also doesnt track on the road properly. (symbol >) I just can't believe that the GPS this day and age can be of this quality. I will not lease another toyota car if this is the quality of the electronics that they use. thanks for listening! K
I have A 2001 Toyota Rav4 with a 1az-fe engine. I have replaced the fuel injectors nozzles (4). I have replaced the Gearbox (Transmission). No matter what the mechanic does the problem will not go away. The Problem? Erractic shifting, hesitation,engages in reverse with a thump. Symptoms are intermittent, sometimes okay and the next day symptoms are back. I have researched the matter and discovered the the problem is with the Engine control module and that Toyota is aware of the situation. The problem is that I live in East Africa, Tanzania. I am a U.S. citizen serving as a volunteer worker, Missionary. The problem here is that the consumer has very little rights. Also it is not possible here to replace the ECM. I would like to know what can Toyota do to help me?

I purchased my 2005 prado from Swan Hill Toyota at 70000km it developed a starting problem . Every time it was serviced i mentioned that it was taking to long to start, at 110000km i was told it had a faulty injector and was out of warranty. I continued to have the car serviced every 10000km but not by toyota, then at about 160000km the starter motor wore out. Kerang toyota supplied me with a new starter motor but it did not fix the starting problem, they performed many tests on the car at it"s 170000km service and felt it was the injecters.
I have now returned the car to have the faulty injecter replaced at about 177000km only to be told they are all faulty and that i now need 6 new injecters at about $1700 . These injecters should have been replaced when the car was still under warranty i am looking for some help from TOYOTA.
Last week took my 2006 Tacoma in for inspection and service, they found a 3" HOLE IN THE FRAME, Passenger side, cost me 127.00 to have it welded to pass inspection. What is being done about the 2006 frames. I had a 1998 Tacoma that was recalled for frame rust, what is to be done or am I victimized by this. I have so far owned 5 Toyota vehicles, will this be the last. ? The dealership has been wondrful (Allegheny Toyota, Franklin, Pennsylvania) but I am questioning the quality for the price ?
Last time ( 4th time ) I went to toyota service centre, kolkata on 10th february, 2013. As per their statement brake drum spring changed. However no improvement occured. self as well as your service people wasted our valuable time. Since the defect couldnot be rectified, I donot know where I stand. I am also reluctant to to visit your your service centre for the same problem. Please advice.
I bought a new 2012 Topyota Rav 4 in Sept 2004. I was told this was a 4wd car and all I had to do was puch the 4wd button. They did not tell me it would drop out at 25 mph or when the brake was applied. I wanted a 4wd vehicle and was looking at a jeep compass at the same time. If they told me how theit 4wd worked I would not have bought this car. I bought the car at Larry Miller Toyota in Spokane Washington. How can they call this 4wd when it drops off at 25mph.
The rear hatch struct blew and does not hold up the door. This happened while in operation and almost hurt a family member. We see that prior models have a recall; however, the 2011 is not covered. This needs to be recalled on the current model as well. It is a safety liability to your customer families. I am glad that our children were not under the hatch when the structs stopped working.
I bought a Toyota car new from Toyota Bury greater Manchester UK. But they sold me the damage right off car one of the sale manager and the sale man I am complaining about. I did not know when I bought the car but when my wife had a accident then we found out the car was damage and sold to me as new once I spoke to Toyota bury but they refusing. Respectfully Dear /Madam I want you to solve my problem.
Or I will be forced in to courts and to the Law to achieve my rights. I request to the Toyota UK high official to solve my ease my pain. respectfully members I will have to go to the media and most respected Law in UK. My car reg MA08 HSZ Toyota Yaris.
Recently had a flat battery and didn't have the code needed to reprogramme the audio system,went to Toyota wyoming nsw service centre and was told the cost would be $60 because if was an hour job.i made a booking and presented to said centre where a lovely chap from Toyota reprogrammed the audio system in under one minute at no cost to myself. Please give me an explanation why I was quoted one hour billing for a job taking less than 60 seconds.
I purchased a brand new Toyota RAV from an Oak Lawn Toyota dealership in 2006. Although it's been maintained by the dealership, it has consistently incurred major and suspicious problems. I believe it was either assembled incorrectly, or possibly Toyota is cutting corners in materials and putting out problematic substandard vehicles, or Oak Lawn Toyota is lying about the problems and the costs. In the last couple of years, I was told this vehicle needed $1400 worth of pollution control equipment including an $800 canister.
I was also told that it needed a $300 windshield wiper motor because when you shut the wipers down, they will not fold completely. And today, I was told that it needs a $2500 repair to fix a dial on the dashboard that freezes and will not turn properly to allow the airflow to come from the defroster, the windshield, the floor etc. However, as you drive, the air flow changes and the dial will free up. They "fixed" it twice for $100/pop but the problem has persisted.
Now it needs a $2500 repair??? These are not normal problems for a vehicle. I've done regular oil changes, mileage maintenance, brakes, etc. The vehicle has also had numerous recalls that have been repaired since I purchased it. There is something wrong with this vehicle, something wrong with the dealership and/or something wrong with Toyota Corporation. How could a 2006 need close to $4500 in repairs? And none of them from the engine??? The vehicle has never been in an accident and like I said, has been maintained by the dealership. I want this latest "problem" researched. This sounds like it should be a recall issue. Even the dealership cannot explain it and said it's rare.
I am writing this complaint to Toyota in place of my Cousin Cindy who owns a ...2003 Toyota Sequoia V8... It is about the DOOR HANLDLES on the Car...I was told by a Service man at Toyota to write in this complaint...So far ALL of her handles EXCEPT ONE ...just Crack off and brake as you open the door from the inside. BUT, Also the Handle on the HATCH BACK broke too...she got that one replaced First...She has had then replaced all but 1 (I think).
They are expensive to replace...ANYWAY. I am writing to see if she can BE REIMBURSED for this... PLEASE LET ME KNOW in any kind of way if she can be REIBURSED FOR THIS...The Tech. at Toyota even went so far as to say that he has known of OTHER cars just like hers that this happened too. I will be waiting to hear from you.
I can't believe Toyota would not stand behind a product like this, it really worries me that they would know about a broken hatch problem, but choose not to fix their models like this. If you know any HELP please let me know asap, so I can fix the defects soon.
On April 15, 2013 while parking my 2003 Toyota Highlander, all of a sudden my car accelerated while shifting from reverse to drive while I was parking. Suddenly my car took off with the engine full speed to red line on the tachometer in a space of four feet it jumped the parking block and smashed into the center block wall with my foot on the brake. To repair my car the cost was $2000.00. This was the second time this happened, first time no damages.
I have contacted the dealer and had the car checked on four different occasions. I realize that this is just an estimate on the mileage sticker. But as I told you on my original message. I was getting 47/48 up to 52 mp as late as last Oct. now I get 37.5 latest reading, town driving, only one person in the vehicle, no extra weight What I am saying to you is that this not an acceptable difference in gas mileage. Oh by the way, when I came to AZ from In inOct, the car was fully loaded and I averaged 51mpg.
What I am asking for is some insight as to who can fix this problem, or what can be done. as I stated, I am ready to put a placard in the window telling people that Toyota makes false claims about gas mileage.

Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you. Subject Mileage Discussion Thread Response Via Email (Thomas Morita) 05/06/2013 03:05 PM Dear Violet Sella, Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for the concerns you are experiencing Each new vehicle sold in the U.S. has EPA fuel mileage estimates printed on the Monroney label (window sticker) for comparison purposes only.
Please bear in mind that fuel economy estimates listed on the vehicle sticker are derived from the testing methodology dictated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). EPA estimates are a useful tool for comparing different vehicles but may not accurately predict the average fuel economy you will get, which will vary greatly from one owner to another. Fuel economy is influenced by many factors including, but not limited to, the speed the vehicle is driven, any excess weight in/on the vehicle, excessive idling , etc.

If you feel that there is a mechanical concern with your vehicle, we would encourage you to contact the Service Department at your local Toyota dealer where your vehicle can receive expert service from Toyota technicians. Thank you again for bringing your concerns to our attention.
We have documented our email corresondence under case reference number 1305062202. Sincerely, Thomas Morita Toyota Customer Experience Customer By Web Form (Violet Sella) 05/06/2013 09:01 AM I have been experiencing poor gas mail eagle since Oct. at that time had my Prius serviced and new tires,put on it. Since that time I,have had it back toToyota at least,4'times. Changed tires again. As we,thought that might be the problem. But to no avail. At the moment I am getting 36 .5 mpg. In oct, I was getting 47 to 52mpg. Now they say that around 40mpg is good. Iuse to sing the praises of Prius to all, but no more, in fact I am ready to put a sign in my window that states do not believe the mileage claims. Could you please look into this.
I own a 2004 toyota sienna van, I recently went to get an inspection sticker and failed because of the o2 sensors. My mechanic indicated that 1 of them was bad. The cost of the repair at that time was approx. $380.00 for 1 o2 sensor. I then waited a couple of weeks to have repair done for financial reasons, took it back and my mechanic said that the other 3 o2 sensors failed this time in addition to the original one failing. If that wasn't bad enough he said that this most likely will affect the catalitic converter as well. At this point for just the repair of the sensors I was looking at around $1500 dollars, just to pass a mass inspection. Something is not right, toyota's are suppose to last at least up to 200,000 miles. I can understand routine work, however, to pass inspection for a 2004 vehicle this is unexceptable. I would appreciate any feed back or help anyone has for this problem. I'm sure my vehicle is not the only one that is having this problem!
My wife arrived at Rick Hendrick Toyota dealership, in Fayetteville, NC, for the 105,000 miles service to be performed on a 2007 Toyota Camry on April 5, 2013 at 10:30am. For the record, this was her third time bringing the car in for service. And each time, she had problems. From my wife experiences with this Service Department, Iâm lead to believe this dealership tries to take advantage of customers--especially females--if you think they don't have a clue of what is going on. The car was fine when it went in for the 105,000 miles service. The maintenance light was staying on continuously so she knew it was due. When she checked in she was asked if there was any problem, she informed him about the service maintenance light staying on.
After checking in at the appointed time (10:30am) she caught a ride to the mall provided by dealer's courtesy shuttle. The service advisor--Darren McDonald--was to keep her inform by phone and not to do any other work without contacting her. When she was at the mall, she never received a called. And when she called, she wasn't able to get through to Darren but she did leave a message. Upon arriving back at the dealership, she noticed the car wasn't ready. When inquiring about the status of the vehicle, no one could provide a clear cut answer.
Well, to make a long story short, she was told the car needed a new oil pan. This was due to the threads in the oil pan being stripped. Doing my conversation the next morning with the Service Manager, Ray Phillips, He basically told me that problem like that is normal for todaysâ automobiles. He says the materials are much lighter and wears out quicker. So you tell me, with todays cars requiring less oil changes (my car every 5,000 compared to 3,000 in the past) that an oil pan can't withstand 20 oil changes. Even though this was a 105,000 miles service, the mileage on the vehicle was less than 104,000. I'm not the smartest guy in the world but I think Toyota makes a much better quality automobile than that. With that being stated, Toyota would have been out-of-business a long time ago. It seems like a cover up--maybe I'm wrong--but I doubt it.
Generally, threads should never wear out on a drain plug or oil pan. Stripped oil pans are usually caused by: Over tightening the drain plug and/or cross-threading. Another point I like to make. Why replace the oil pan? Why not tap out the stripped hole to the next oversize and replace the drain plug with an oversize plug. Please excuse me...I forgot, your Service Department is where the dealership generates most of their income, so you have to keep the money flowing "By-Any-Means-Necessary". During our conversation, Mr. Phillips, stated that he noticed the car been serviced there about 19 times. With that being facts, if your dealership was the one performing the oil changes over a prolonged period of time, the dealer should be responsible for the damaged oil pan threads. I have NEVER had a stripped oil pan, either by changing my own or having someone else performed the service. Then they had the nerves to present my wife with a bill for $550.00 for repairs.
Dear Toyota, I have a 2004 Toyota 4 Runner V8, sport. In the last 2 yrs, the VSC trac light has come on from time to time and the Engine shut off in the middle of the road and would not come back on, or at other times , the vehicle would not move when throttle was given, I have taken the vehicle for the same compliant at least 6 times and spent almost $2500, and in the last 6 weeks I have taken it to the Toyota service center 3 times and they have not been able to identify the problem as they are not able duplicate the problem. In the mean time my family is put at risk considering the Engine acts in the middle of the road or highway, Please use your good offices to find a solution.
I bought a Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited 3 weeks ago. I paid the extra for the hybrid as I drive 25,000 miles/yr. I have driven 1,300 miles in the last 3 weeks & my Highlander Hybrid is averaging 22 miles/gal. This is a far cry from the 28city/28hwy advertised on the window sticker at the dealer and on the poster at the dealer and on Toyota's website. In fact it is getting over 20% worse mileage than it is supposed to. I have scoured the Internet in an attempt to find out why and have very little luck. The dealer reps keep telling me to wait and see, but at this point in quite frustrated with a bogus mpg claim by Toyota. The dealer GM said "We'll it depends on where you're doing most of your driving." My response to that nonsense was "well, it seems to me that 28city/28hwy should average out to 28? Right? Seeing as in not driving on the beach or in the ocean itself, city and highway pretty much cover where I'm driving". Anyway, no one at Toyota or at the dealership has been able to help out at all. Is this legal? Can an auto maker make totally bogus claims and get away with it? Thanks for reading and beware of the Toyota Highlander Hybrid mpg false claims.
We have always been two of Toyota's favorite fans, and now experiencing the same problem when we decided to purchase a new Toyota Camry in 2003. We originally owned a Station Wagon, which we absolutely loved, but only to find out that the repair on the wagon would be extremely costly for the mileage we had on this vehicle, therefore made the decision to purchase a new Camry in 2003. We now have 153,000 miles on this Toyota and feel that we could have gotten several more years out of this car.
After seeing that we are experiencing slow and small leaks, I brought my car in to our regular mechanic , only to have him tell us that the cost to replace the head gasket would be around $700.oo . We were disappointed, because we were looking forward to having this car as our "extra" to save mileage on our newer vehicles. As a devoted consumer of Toyota's products, and unfortunately not in a position to purchase another vehicle at this time, we were wondering if Toyota could help us resolve this matter with the repair needed . We certainly appreciate any assistance in this matter. Thank you, from two of your loyal consumers.
hi we were on holiday in perth and took our car to Rockingham toyota where we were told they had to order a part and we waited over a week for it. The service guys finally put the part in and we left for home (Balranald nsw, a 4 day trip) across the nualabour. We made it 200kms out of Perth when the car started to have the same power cut out problem. Nothing was fixed, when we rang rockingham toyota they told us that we were to far away and they couldnt be bothered to help. By this stage my husband was irrate as we were almost collected on the free way twice by trucks due to the engine cutting out and it then took 4 days to just cross the nullabour
dear sir/madam,i wish to lodge a complaint with you about the corrosion of the rims on my 2006 toyota prado.i made a complaint last year through bartrac the toyota dealers in tully,north queensland.they took photos and sent them in to toyota but they said it was dissalowed.all five rims have corrosion and the spare has only been used once.they said that there was a problem with the metal used and thats why the wheels were corroding and that other prados also had the same problem.so it appears that i would be wasting more money if i were to have the rims sandblasted and repainted.i would find it extremly hard if i have to buy a set of new rims and in the present condition the rims will surely devalue my car substantialy.i hope there is a satisfactory solution to this problem .yours sincerly,tony rossi.
I had my driver seat on my fj cruiser replaced because it moved back and forth a 1/2 inch when in the locked position and it worked fine for a few months. Now it has started to do it again, so I brought it back and the took video of the seat and sent it off to California. The service manager told me they might end up doing a recall on it but either way he would take care of me. So I haven't heard back in about 6 months so I figured I would give them a call see how it's going and to my surprise the gm quit and the new one didn't know anything about it.
So I fill him in and he say's he will talk to the Toyota rep and figure it out. They call me back and tell me they are not going to replace my seat again and I am going to have to live with the seat moving because it's normal. I did not buy it that way and there is a lot of them out there that don't do it, but I have found out that there is a handful out there with the same problem. Toyota needs to buck up and take care of this issue.

I donot want this car anymore. If I choose this car, maybe in future my car has some problem, they will not have good service. Could you give them call and ask them to pay back my deposit. I think this is not good for your good service.
I purchased the best truck I could ever wish for, 2001 Toyota Tacoma; itâs an xtra cab with TRD with the SR5. Today at 113500 miles it still looks and runs showroom new. But it has the rust on the frame and bad too. Toyota refuses to help in any way. In 2012 the frame was perfect, now it is almost eaten through. I love this truck but it is unsafe to drive and I am very displeased with how they are handling the situation. I opt to go with Toyota compared to Chevrolet because Toyota had a wonderful reputation on reliable vehicles and I was sold on that. When the recall was sent out, I was living in Virginia and battling cancer so I missed the recall. I believe Toyota should warrant their product or close down their plants if they wonât honor the issues at hand. I want a new frame or at least another truck with my engine and transmission, my baby is gorgeous. I am now on a fixed income with blood clots in my lungs due to the cancer I need my truck.
I have etios liva feb 12 model and facing front seat problem. It causes my back ache a lot, I can't drive my car on long route because of driving seat problem. I have met to pioneer and radiant Toyota several timem regarding the issue but no solution yet, please solve as soon as possible.
I have a 2010 Corolla. I brought my car to Truro Toyota for service, they were suppose to check my windshield washer fluid bottle. I got home and the bottle was empty so I poured some in and it leaked out. Phoned them and the service dept said to bring it in for them to look at. I live 1 and 1/2 hrs. drive from the dealership, only for them to tell me it's not under warranty because there is a crack on the top of the bottle and its not a manufactures defect. I refuse to buy one, I spent alot of money on extra warranty which I regret now. Needless to say I was not a happy camper, 3 hrs. driving for nothing.
I have a 2007 Toyota camry le v6 and the transmission is slipping, this car is only five years old I know it should not be having this type of issue, after ready numerous of complaints on the internet, apparently many consumers are having this same problem, I think Toyota should step up and resolve these issues, this is my first and last Toyota, I bought this car because of Toyota's reputation, but it is now clearly tarnished!
I was getting 47 to 52 miles per gallon on my Prius, I sang its praises to everyone and recommended it to all. However in October of this year, I needed new tires, at around 40,000 miles. I was told by my dealership, Anderson Toyota of Lake Havasu, AZ, to be sure and get the proper tires as the wrong tires could cause a 5 to 8 mile loss in gas mileage. Consequently, I purchased the tires my dealership recommended. At first my mileage dropped to about 32 to 34 mpg. I took the car in and they lowered the pressure in the new tires, now I get up to 41mpg. I find this totally unsatisfactory. What can be done? I would appreciate your input.
Bought a Toyota Tacoma with leveling kit and chrome rims. Since the day I have had it the tires rub causing the steering to jerk the wheel out of your hands. I have had it with these people.. They say its not their issue because its after market stuff causing the issue. Brand new truck the second time I had it in there for this issue, they cut my fender wheels. Which still hasn't been replaced. The tires are actually rubbing my frame...the after market guy says he did this he did that and it still rubs. Went to the dealer on 12/3/12 for the 12th time. Was told everyone was in a meeting and someone would call me back. It's 12/6/12 and nobody has called. I even spoke to Sparky Gullo and he also said someone would get back to me. Contacting the news media today and waiting on my lawyers phone call back. I have had it! After market or not Gullo Toyota sold me the truck as is it...you sold it so you fix it!!
I purchased a sequoia chassis no. 5tdzy64a69so22231. From Toyota dealer in Barain. Unfortunately I found the top (ceiling ) is shaking. When the car is driving and the windows are opened,the ceiling starts to shake and make a noisy sound. In fact this defect occurs in the very begging of purchasing this car. It is inspected by the dealer but refused to repair it .saying there is a kink on the top of the front door. I urged you please to instruct the dealer to repair it as it is still under warranty.
I have so much to say, I have been leasing trucks through GMC since 1999. I have never really had an issue with the trucks itself it was the service dept that sucked which is the reason I decided to go with Toyota, and boy what a mistake. I knew what I was looking for and I assumed that the quality would be just as good as GMC but I was wrong.These are the things that concern me The sound system sucks, no duel heating system,no automatic tire pressure info, no onstar , passenger side manual seat, middle arm rest in the back doesnt stay up, cheap paint job, cheap windsheilds, punk ass horn, heated seat that you wouldn't even know was on. I ride the highway to get to work and everytime a rock hits my windshield I end up with a new crack in my window. I now have 4 cracks in this window and to replace it I have to go through the dealership because it is a lease. The windshield for my particular truck will be $1500.00. This much for a windsheild that continues to crack. I had paint chip away the 1st week ridiculous. I will be turning this truck in early and I will never buy from Toyota again and trust me I have told more than a friend and they are walking away from Toyota too.
Last year I purchased 4 - 2012 Toyota Corollas and they now all have missing battery caps. I contacted our local dealership, Sierra Toyota, they informed me that they didn't have that replacement part. I've also checked all local parts stores and battery stores, they also don't have these replacement parts. I seem to be left with no choice but to replace the batteries on 4 Corollas that are only 8 months old. I currently own 12 Toyotas (10 Corollas and 2 Scions). I will take this into consideration when replacing these cars.
manufacturing defect in process and material molded to form dashboard. Toyota claims no lkiability after 36 months and claims no legal liability for their incompetant manufacturing after 36 months. How can there be a time limit for incompetance under the laws of tort? Toyota Customer Experience in California provided me case # 12112000827. Toyota already provided me with three recalls with extended warranty for other errors they made which were discovered after 36 months. It seems 36 months limitation on warrenty is meaningless when it suits their purpose and also establishes their liability for manufacturing defects that may occur at any time.
The clip that holds the latch/switch assembly to the Scion hatch has broken and the assembly comes off every time the handle is grasped to open the hatch. Toyota service wanted over $300 to replace the assembly. I have heard from a number of people that failure is common. I believe this is a frequent failure given the design. Two small clothes pin shaped clips attach the assmbly. The constant stress of opening the hatch flexes the clips until they snap off due to fatgue failure. In my opinion this is a very poor design.
I have a 2005 Toyota Sienna xle. It has less than 80,000 miles on it. The A/C is completely non operational. I was quoted a price of 3900 $ to repair the unit. This is grossly unacceptable,the warranty has expired and this cost is blatantly insane. The A/C unit on any vehicle is a non serviceable item. You don't have to change its oil,rotate it,lube it,etc. I was a loyal Toyota costumer,I have owned a Corolla and Mr2 in addition to the Sienna. I googled this problem and found a startling amount of complaints regarding the ac unit in Siennas. You even issued a service bulletin regarding failure of the ac. Because this is not a safety issue I have a better chance being elected Pope than you idiots fixing your fuck up. I will under no circumstances purchase any vehicle from Toyota as long as I breath on this planet. My young children will be told that they will never be allowed to purchase anything from Toyota. My grandchildren will grow up being told tales that Toyotas are evil. You,as a company,is dead to me.
Why would a 4runner bought brand new start to crack in the dash precisely after 5 years and after the warranty is up. i purchased my 4runner brand new and it was always kept in my garage at home under cover or at my job in a parking building. In both cases the vehicle was never in direct sunlight for prolonged periods. The only place where it would get a lot of sun is when I would go shopping and even there, we always park in the multilevel parking, where it would not be in the sunlight. I also asked at Toyota if this would be covered under the warranty and was told that it would not because the warranty had pasaed. It seems to me that the materials used by Toyota for this year in particular was of inferior quality.
In comparision I also own a 1999 4runner which is basically always in the sun since I alwas have it in the front of my house under the sun and never put it inside the garage. The dash on this car is in excellent condition.
I am thinking of buying a new car and because of this bad experience I am not going to buy another Toyota. I would not recommend Toyota to anyone because of this and the fact that they will not cove this under the warranty.
I took my new 2012 corolla for the 15k service, since then the brake light and maintenance light have been on and if they serviced it correctly neither should be on!! I also expressed my concerns on it shifting oddly and the mechanic and director told me if the engine wasn't warm it would do that... After 8 months of driving this vehicle, why would it randomly start now?! I tried explaining my concerns to Jamie the director at Toyota in greenwood and she have me the same run around as the mechanic and told me she didn't want ppl like "me" for customers!! This is completely uncalled for since the mistake was made on their behalf, and what kind of customer am I ?! I paid cash for this vehicle, I'm very loyal as I've NEVER had it serviced anywhere else. I'm beyond upset with company and I want some answers and actions on how Toyota is going to fix this.
We purchased a 2010 Camry XLE with navigation. The GPS system is extremly poor as compared to our Garmin GPS. We thought when we purchased the car we were going to get an exceptional GPS system, however, it does not recognize many roads that have been in place for 10 years or more. Why is this such a poor GPS system? How come the Garmin is so much more accurate, easier to use and it comes with lifetime map updates versus paying over $120 for a yearly update to Toyota? Please tell us why we should continue to purchase the GPS disc updates? We would appreciate you sending us the most current GPS disc at no cost. Our name and address is on the corporate complaint to Toyota.
Hello, can you please forward this to "Help Me Howard"?
I recently returned a leased Rav4 to Toyota after a 3 year lease. It had 23K miles and allowance was 33K. Had no damage or scratches and it had had all services. I had replaced 3 tires butapparently 2 were not exactly the same as the others, although they were the tires I was told were needed at tire dealer where I bought them. The inspector told me I would be charged for 2 tires butsaid I could call TYoyota and dispute it. I did that BEFORE returning the car and the person Ispoke withat Customer srvices looked into it and said they should not charge for different tires and that I would not be charged when I received the final bill with the disposition fee. Needless to say when I got the final bill I WAS charged $342 for two tires. I clled but they refuse tohonor their prior commitment. Because they had earlier told me I would not be charged, I did not buy the correct new tires so that I could keep the other new tires that were on the car and resell those to have at least part of the $ to pay for the new ones. I am nearing retirement and every dollar counts. Now of course Toyota will not return to me the tires I had put on the car. They kept those and insist I pay them for new ones as well. That is basically theft.
In April 2011, I purchased a 2011 Toyota Sienna from Herb Chambers in Massachusetts. The trouble started right away. Shortly after I received the van I was having problems with it not starting and needing to be jumped. We brought it back to Herb chambers and they had it for at least 2 weeks.
They decided that the problem was the automatic car starter was draining the battery. They took the starter out and installed a new one. I received my van back. With in a short time the problem was back and my van needed to be jumped again. They told me to call the starter company and have them take out the starter yet again. So we did. About a month later the company put another starter in. For a short time everything was ok.
Then the problem was back. Last month the starter was taken out of my van for the 4th time!!!!!! We have not had it put back in yet. The other day my van would not start and I had to have it jumped. The following morning it happened again and I brought it to Balise Toyota in Warwick RI. While I was there the van needed to be jumped by them in order to move it.
After a few hours of waiting I heard back from the technician to learn that they can not find anything wrong with my vehicle. I am not even sure how this is possible! Something is wrong!!!!!
In less than two years I have had it jumped at least 4 times by Toyota roadside assistants, at least 10 times by friends, It has been taking into Herb Chambers and Balise Toyota, have had three different automatic car starters installed in my van and I only have 18000 miles on it. I work full time, my husband is in the military and we have three sons to care for. The amount of money that I pay for this vehicle that I can not depend on is insane. I feel very unsafe in this vehicle, I never know when it is going to not start!!!! Do you know how that feels? Something needs to be done ASAP!
To whom it may concern. I have grown up riding in Toyota cars my entire life and now as an adult I have the joy of âowningâ a Toyota. I chose the brand for its reliability and comfort. However when a customer service representative calls and tells you your being hard or laughs at you while you explain why your payments have been late; is less than comforting. I do not know what the criteria for being difficult is to a customer service representative or Toyota Company but I am ashamed to be on the other line, feeling sick and worried about any other call I receive from Toyota Motor group and their associates. Will I be labeled as such in the data base? Will the next customer service representative give me the same belittling response when I answer questions? I work for a living and to have another individual that lives in the same country as myself not give me the respect as they would like to receive is very unnerving and sad depiction of what it means to be a working class American citizen that is not getting the respect from their fellow citizen.
I purchased my second toyota this past Sat as my matrix that I had over 10 years was totaled in the flood from Sandy. I loved my Matrix so I decided to go back to Toyota. We went to Crestmont Toyota located in Wayne NJ. NEVER GO THERE.
They charged us over $3000 above sticker price and when we went back to speak to the manager we were not allowed to speak to him and had to deal only with the salesperson that sold us the car. he told us that it is common practice for Crestmont toyota to sell above sticker price on lease but the reason given right now is that the prius is in high demand, that Toyota lost 4,000 of their vehicle and combined with the gas shortage, they have to make their money back so instead of helping Sandy survivor victim they screw them. I will NEVER lease/buy toyota again. Do not go to Crestmont Toyota or prepared to be taking advantage of. Andy was our salesperson.
Have feedback for Toyota?
