The tire pressure light on my dash is blinking. I visited Toyota and was told that they needed to run a diagnosis on my truck and this would cost $135. I don't want or need this function so I asked to just remove the light or cut the wire. I was told that this could not be done. I consider this to be a form of extortion. An uneeded funtion was put on my truck and it cannot be fixed without spending an unreasonable fee and hours of my time. This is a safety concern as it is distracting. I have called your complaint department and I want to compliment them on their professionalism and courtesy. I want to be on the record such that it is noted in the event that this causes and accident that Toyota is liable.
My family has been owners of a 4-Runner, 2 Tundra's, a Tacoma, and 3 Lexus LX's based on the Land Cruiser build. The first LX saved my fathers life in an accident off a cliff. The second LX saved my own flipping into a river. A lesser vehicle and we would not have made it. So....it is with great pain that my loyalty to this company and its affiliates has been destroyed because they won't pay for an $1100 part that has put my life in danger on numerous occasions on the Tacoma.
My issue is I told them the lights would go out under warranty. That there were electical issues. It is documented that is was inspected for. Now two years later they claim the computer chip is damaged. In hindsight, how was that not the obvious solution under warranty? My 4-Runner had a similar issue, where I complained of lack of engine power for years, but they could never find it until the warranty was long gone, meanwhile I drove both faulty cars around in frustration up until I had to pay myself.
As far as I am concerned a completely classless company, and no way to treat a 7 time customer of $30,000-$70,000 vehicles.
I bought a brand new Toyota Corolla 2010 in January 2011 I bought an extended warranty 5yr 100,000 mile warranty. I have had my car serviced by the Weiss Toyota Dealer in St louis MO every 5,000 miles tire rotation, oil change everything they were supposed to do. So now my car tires are balled called the dealer they told my to call Goodyear since they make the tires. So i called they sent me to a near by goodyear dealer the tires were not the issue. The issue was the car was out of alignment in the front.
So I called the dealer back spoke with another manager. They insist that front end alignment is not covered under my warranty and the issue was not their problem. My complain is that shouldn't the technician that was servicing the car every 5,000 miles should have notice a poroblem when rotating my tires??? I told the dealership at 15,000 miles there seemed to be an issue with the tires looking low on tread already I spoke my concern about them rotating the tires, and were they sure they were being rotated.
The lady said yes they were. SO my concern and complaint is that either the technicians were not doing their job correctly or they didn't care one or the other. The facts of the matter are that the front end is out of alignment and all four tires need to be replaced. I do not feel that I should be responsable for this money wise, due to the fact that I placed my confidence in Toyota to keep an eye on my car for me. And why wasnt this noticed or even brought to my attention??? I would appreciate a phone call or an email back.
I have great concern that Toyota dealers are getting away with not living up to their end of the bargain. I paid $20,000 for a car and in 9 months has these issues already how ironic that I thought toyota was a good company.
I have a Toyota highlander hybrid 2009. First problem, battery. When we just open the door for less than 10 mins. The car can start at all. We needed to call road services to dump started the cars. 2 dealership can't solve this problems. It has been like 3 yrs. Even dealership check the car better voltage still good. They said might be something short, but they can't tell. Second problems. Back truck can't auto up, dealership said because weather is cold. They didn't solves the problems at all.
Third problems. We replace a right side back door gasket year ago because it was leaking . But still have little bit of leaking and sound while we were driving. Can someone response and help to solve these problems. We spend fifty thousand dollars for this car. We did all services and repair at the Toyota dealership.
I bought a Toyota Camry SE on November 2011. During the first 1000 milage check up, I ask the service personnel why the phone messages and email are not working. I was told that I have to wait for the update on the entune system. Again during the first 5,000 miles and 10,000 miles checked up, this time I complain why the phone messages and email are not working and the answer was that the sales man will call me. I never received any call from the salesman.
Later, I received a USB in the mail for an update. I tried to do the update and still the phone messages and email are not working. I am formally filing a complaint and hope that the phone messages and email in the entune system of my Toyota Camry SE will be useful.
I went to Durant Toyota in Weatherford Texas to buy a new vehicle, preferably a Toyota Highlander, Tacoma, or Tundra 4WD. I traded my 2006 Nissan Xterra SE and put down $4500.00 to cover negative equity. The would not finance me th Highlander and said the only SUV I could get would be the Rav 4. After being at the dealership for a better part of my day (6+ hours), They told me I could not get into the Highlander and suggested the Rav 4. I was getting tired and wanted to get a vehicle and thought that the Rav 4 would suit my needs for mileage and space. I was never offered to look at the Tacoma 4WD or Tundra 4WD, so I ended up with a vehicle that in essence I did not really want.
After driving it for a month I determined that this was not the vehicle for me due to space constraints, power, and mileage due to a small fuel tank. I have been trying to get out of this Rav 4 Sport and have not been getting anywhere with the dealership in letting me turn this vehicle in and finance a Tundra or Toacoma instead. I absolutely hate this vehicle. I can't tow anything with it since it is only a 4 cylinder engine and there is no 4WD either. I hate the way I have been treated by the Durant Toyota Dealership.
I have been handed over to 4 different salesman and they all end up not getting back to me in a timely manner. I have had my credit run through several times. When I told them that I did not want my credit run through multiple times the salesman (Kevin) told me that with my credit score it would not matter. Well it does matter how many times a credit inquiry hits your credit file. I was insulted by his answer, but I was desparate to get out of this vehicle. Please let someone see this and get me a the 4wd vehicle that I wanted in the first place! Durant Toyota is a horrible dealership!
i have purchase the toyota vios at MAy 2012. the problems come in with driver and passeger door have abnormal sound, bonnet open itself although is lock (release it lock at parking lot) lucky security inform. then at july the car body paint problem with black spots on the bonnet, car ceiling. body rust at the driver side front rear, and the lft hand side tyre.

Dear toyota, I am writing this letter, due to the motor in my 2005 hilux injecter seal failing, cuasing the motor to seaze up. i purchesed the car at oldmac toyota springwood in qld. I had been searing for a new car for about 1yr an finaly found it there with every thing i wanted an was very happy to have purchesed my new veichle, as ive always had toyota an found them "unbrakable" so is was a no brianer to go with toyota again. since i have had the car it has had problems with the water pump, clutch, injecters, but i just got them fixed an gave it benifit of the doubt. the other day i was driving to work on the highway when the egine cut out an i was left on the side of the road. since being to the machanic he's informed me that the motor is sezed an is goin to cost over $7500 to be fixed. an he told me that its actully common for that model of car. i find this extreamly unacceptabele seeing it has just clocked over 120000kms. from going to a car that is "unbrakeable" an spose to last a life time, to lasting 2yrs an 120000kms. I will be looking forward to hearing from you in the near future.
The Toyota Highlander Hybrid window sticker claims 28 mpg combined city/highway. The salesman and my experience says that highway miles should be better. The salesman even went so far as to say I could get upwards of 32 mpg and maybe even 36. My mileage has consistently gone down since I bought the car. I currently get 24mpg regardless. I feel that I have been hoodwinked. I paid a lot of money extra for the hybrid to save fuel costs and have not gotten the benefit. There is poor gas mileage on my Highlander Hybrid, and I paid for something so much more. I feel as if I was lied to, and I needed to vent my problems on the internet for others to read. Thank you for reading my review!
I brought my 2005 Lexus Rx330 to the Jacksonville NC service dept in Sept 2010. I had hit a huge pot hole and blew out my 2 passenger side tires and dented the rims. They came and towed it and I asked them to please make sure that their was no damage done to the car. I told them to order the rims, check under the car and orderd 4 new tires. I take my car in every 3 months to have the oil changed and have my tires rotated every 6000 miles. At that time they check the alignment and do my required service.
My car has ALWAYS been okay on the alignment rack! I went back to toyota b/c I noticed that my tires were cupping. It was loud! Toyota said they would give me a free alignmen if I had my cabin filter changed and my air filter, plus my brakes. (even though they didnt need to be changed yet, but would in the future) do this and we will give you a free alignment. I told them that I would check with my husband. I just wanted to know how to get new tires. Sooooo, I got all my paper work showing that I HAVE had all the appropriate work done on my car. Well, now they want to check it on their alignment rack. It was all green, but slightly off by a smidge. I forgot to mention they never did check to see if there was damage back in 2010. They said it would be $1700.00 to fix it.
A new nuckle, hub and shock. Although we dont know if that will fix the problem. They did not know what was wrong, but we will start there. I was not happy. They offered for me to pay $1000.00 for the parts and they would throw in the labor. I needed to check. So I took it to 3 mechanics. Get a camber kit for the rear is what all 3 said. So I told toyota can we start there?
Okay they said. They put on the camber kit and called me to tell me it did not work. They never showed me the alignment paper showing me that it was now WAY worse! They told me to check with my insurance, so I did. Insurance told me to take it to another shop. The other shop adjusted the camber kit that was "adjusted to the fullest extent" by toyota, and fixed it for $56.00. Funny how they could fix it for that price but Toyota wanted $1700.00. I am so absolutly furious at the Jacksonville NC Toyota service dept.
Talk about trying to rip off a customer. Now, because they never checked under my car to see if there was any damage. (and they said they were at fault) for not checking. I need to get 4 new tires! they conviently lost my paperwork, but I had mine. They said the service writer who took in my car in 2010 should have made sure that it was checked. But she didnt. The guy just looked at me like, "your screwed" I did everything I was supposed to, and they will not stand behind me! I have never been so upset with a dealership! I live in a military town and had heard stories like this before.
This is a disgrace! I believe they owe me 4 new tires. Toyota should make this right. I will be sending a copy of this to the Inspector General of Camp Lejeune and to the Better Business Bureau.
When I took my 2006 Toyota Sienna in for new brakes to the Toyota dealership where I had purchased the vehicle new, they informed me that my steering column fluid was leaking and would require $1500 to repair it. I paid $23,000 only 6 years ago this past August, and now I am already having to put out another $1500 for a repair of a vehicle that is supposed to be one of the most reliable vehicles in the world. This is my third Toyota van. I first had a Celica, then two Siennas. I even convinced my husband to replace his Honda with a 4-Runner two years ago. But I will probably never buy another Toyota. I also had a very bad experience with the Service Department at Rosner Toyota in Stafford, Va. at this last servicing. On top of all of that, my brakes they "replaced" are already making a grinding noise only two months after the job. Not happy with Toyota.
At two separate occasions in the last six months my wife and I have experienced poor vehicle repair on our two Toyota vehicles. Not only were Toyota parts utilized in the "attempted repair" procedure, but the problem in both vehicles resurfaced worse than before. My wife took her 2004 Toyota Sienna into the Jim Norton Dealership here in Lawton, OK. The van was leaking power steering fluid onto a drive axle boot, causing the boot to deteorate. The presumption was made that the "repair" would at least hold for six months, but we were sorely disappointed.
The other vehicle was a 1997 Toyota Avalon, which was leaking oil from the overhead cam seals. Additional parts were purchased to replace parts that were logical candidates for replacement when such a repair job is undertaken. Not only is the oil leaking from the seals again, but the "technician" failed to tighten the valve cover properly, bulging the gasket and not all bolts were replaced.
As a result the vehicle is leaking not only from the seals but the cover as well. This is a shoddy excuse for repair! Current engine and vehicle design mandate dealership service, but if that is typical what is the consumer supposed to do? In addition service personnel and the service manager were less than congenial in their customer contact. It was understood that the Avalon was needed to provide transportation for a new job in OKC, however, the vehicle was not repaired in a timely manner and the vehicle had to be towed. When the vehicle was not repaired as indicated, the windows were left down, and the dealership said they were unable to determine the cause failure of windows to raise the (it was a blown fuse).
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.
I called this dealer to get truck in for computer work done. The lady ask where I got my truck and I said not from you in Chicago she said I would have to go on a waiting list be cause the people who got there trucks from her go first I asked how long is the lis she wouldn't say so I called a different Toyota dealer 50 miles away and got in with in days before I did the other dealer I stopped in and asked if they could look up where my name was on the list but they couldn't because only one lady had that list at all times I would say this place only works on cars an truck they sell.i got very good service at the other dealer I would never send anyone to the one in iron mountain mi
Complaint–I deserve better service! I am a long time customer with Toyota of Nashua NH. I went in, without an appointment, for an oil change today. Steve, the service rep, pulled up my account and confirmed my vehicle, so he had my data. I neglected to tell him I use synthetic oil, but I knew it was on my account. When I left their service dept, I called to confirm that synthetic oil had been used. I had to call several times and finally was told by Steve that I now have regular oil in my car as I hadn’t specified synthetic. When I asked what my oil change had been two months previously at that dealership, he replied synthetic. He couldn’t have asked what I wanted today?? He also said that I shouldn’t be using synthetic oil after 100000 miles. Is this a new policy of your dealership? As a long-time customer, I would have thought I would be asked about my service options should I forget to specify. I called Mr Price, who I believe is the Service Manager, but he did not return my call. I would appreciate someone contacting me about this.
Hello, I have been a fan of Toyota corolla since I bought my 2002 Toyota corolla and recently bought a 2013 Toyota corolla S. It’s a great car but it needs a 7 speed CVT transmission, this would improve gear changes faster and fuel efficiency. I noticed that this transmission is in you Asian market, and wondered why your it did not transfer over to your north American market. Another suggestion I would like to recommend is that why do not sell the Toyota Corolla TRD sportivo edition in north America.
It would draw a younger crowd towards corollas. I feel a little cheated that my corolla is not up to par with the Toyota corolla S model that is sold in Asia which looks much more attractive than its north American counterpart. I would like to also bring up that your 2014 Toyota corolla from Asia has a better body styling then the North American version. I wanted to upgrade this year to the new Toyota corolla S but it does not meet my standards of looks, because it looks nothing like your Toyota corolla that’s sold in Asia. I truly wish that you should make more changes towards the corolla because your competitors have more quality features, then what you
offer at this point.
We have a 2009 Toyota Corolla and 2 weeks ago my front driver door would not lock or unlock unless I did it manually, so we took it to the Toyota dealer to fix the problem and $600.00 later it fixed that problem. However the very next day our back passenger door did the exact same thing, now the back driver door is doing it. I called Toyota and they said they could fix it but the unit to correct the problem to the engine would cost $600.00 per door – Isn’t it strange the very next day the back passenger door did the same thing and now the back drivers door.
I believe this is just not right to have to pay for something the retriggered from having one door fixed???

I own a 2004 Toyota Highlander with 83,000 miles. In 2006 the climate control went bad and was replaced under warranty. It has gone bad again. I have read many complaints about this unit. It seems to be an on going problem that Toyota is having. I feel like Toyota should help me with the repair of this unit since this seems to be a major problem with the design. I have had an estimate on the cost and it is estimated to be $773. Any assistance would be much appreciated and would help rebuild my confidence with the Toyota brand.
I purchased a 2004 Toyota and was talked into a warranty plan that if you didn’t use in three years you got the money back $1895.00. When I reached this time frame and sent in the paper work the letter came back with address unknown . When I talked to Reno Toyota they said the company went out of business 3 years ago and that was it.
I cannot believe you can promote a policy and then not stand behind something like this. We are out this money with no apology not even a notification of this three years later. We saved to pay cash for this pick up and end up being embezzled by Toyota for this money. If this is what you do you should at least warn the customer there is this chance. I am enraged and will bad mouth Toyota to anyone who wants to know.
I wanted an outside temp guage for my 2014 Tacoma. I have read that the vehicle did not come with one due to the fact that there was some problem with them so they were not offered. The dealership that I bought it from says that a mirrow with auto dimming and tem and compass can be installed for around $600.00. I called a 800 number and talked with someone about getting a mirror. Was told that he thought it could be done but would check on this. He told me that it was an option to get this mirror but I never saw it as an option or I would have ordered it. My local dealer who I did not buy the vehicle from told me that they were unaware that one could be installed. They told me that Toyota offered some type of goodwill certificate for $250.00. I also read on forums that the sensor is already in the vehicle and all that is needed is the mirror. I cannot believe I am getting so many conflicting reports. I am getting a little agitated about this. If it was an option I would like to have known about it. Also I just want one installed. I would appreciate any help you can give. I am not complaining about the dealerships. They have tried to help. The dealership I bought my vehicle from was outstanding. I think Toyota needs to either advertise as an option or give out some tech info to dealerships on whether or not one can be installed. I just want one. That is my only complaint. Toyota still makes a very reliable vehicle.
I bought a 2014 Toyota Camry in October 2013. I was extremely excited and happy about the car. During the test drive the car salesman was telling me all the electronic perks of the car 1. Touch screen 2.bluetooth 3. Voice activation 4.backup vision through screen 5.apps from my phone would show up on my screen (pandora, Iheart and maps) 6. Low air pressure alert and come to find out I have NONE of this on my car but the bluetooth and touch screen. I told this to the company a few days after and all they did was out free tint on my car. I think it’s very very unprofessional to tell these lies to a customer because to be honest those where THE ONLY reasons why I bought the car.
I wanted the rav4 but at that time those payments wouldn’t work for me because I had negative equity in the car I traded in. Now I can afford those payments for a rav4 and can’t even get it because now there is $9k I negative equity of my car because if the negative equity we rolled in from my last car and because I have only had my car for 5 MONTHS ! I should not hAve to come up with a down payment and I should not have to suffer with being unhappy with a car that I’m paying $374 a month for ! The car I traded in was a 2010 ford fusion and I just should have kept that car because it had more features, this 2014 doesn’t even have keyless entry for gods sake. I have never been so unhappy in my life.
The finance lady I worked with was wonderful and very great and I thought the sales person was as well but clearly not. He moved to another dealership the week after so that’s probably why he sold me false features just for his sales purpose. I’ve had a 99 Camry before and there is not to much difference in it from this 2014 ! I just don’t like being told one thing and it’s false, toyota said there was nothing they could do because all the negative equity and my credit is new and very low so I keep everything with my credit union because their rate is always 3.75% and they go by my history with them not my credit but they only finance 110% of the value of the car. Toyota should eat whatever amount it is to get to that 110% or lower but it’s basically my word against the car salesman.
It’s very unprofessional and as much as the rav4 XLE is the only car I am totally in love with I would rather drive hours away to another dealership than go to this one but I can’t even do that because no toyota can help me. I contacted over 6 toyotas near me. It’s just sad that I have to go through this because of the lies I was told. If I knew what I know now I would have NEVER EVER gotten this car and I would have just made it work with the rav4 at that time.
This is not my first camry and most of my family members have toyotas. Loyal customers. It’s just sad. The cox toyota people were very nice and friendly but if I was never told a lie we wouldn’t be in this area we are now. If I was the owner of toyota I would have ate the price In whatever ways I could for a innocent customer like me who thought she was getting a great deal and wasn’t because she was a young African American female taken advantage of. I rather my email not reach the cox toyota with my name because I still have to go there when my car needs service and I would hate for anyone to do something unlawful to my car while they have it.
2012 Tocoma has had the problem since it was new. There apppears to be a design problem which causes a 1 to 2 second delay when acceleration in stop and go traffic. This is particularly hazzardous in intersections.
Last month I recently saw an add advertising a new Toyota Camary at 16,999. I went to the dealership and asked about the special and shown a white camary on the lot. I went into the dealer and pur down 2500 as a deposit to hold the car at that price. I was told the price would expire on that day. I went back in 2 days to finish the deal and was brought into the VP of finance to finish the deal. He gave me a sale contract outlining a lot of charges. I asked what they were for and his reply to some of them was I do not know. I didnt think it was right being from a finance background myself but signed the paperwork to get the car. I was supposed to pick the car up on Saturday.
When I went to pick the car up on Saturday I was told that the Sales Manager Rony Levy did not want to sell me the car because of the questions and my attitude I had on a prior night with the VP of Finance. I told him I still wanted the car. He said that the only way he would sell me the car was give the dealership all excellent remarks when I got the customer survey. I truly consider this to be fraud. I was told that if the survey came back perfect he would receive a 500 bonus and all was good.
I drove the car off the lot when I got home I found that the car mats were not in the car yet they were identified on the sticker when I bought the car. I called and I was told by Rony Levy that the price I paid did not include the mats even though they were on the standard equipment on the sticker. When they survey came in I told the truth. I just called Rony Levy and was told that I lied to him and did not give him the excellent survey he requested. I told him I told the truth how I felt.
He said I lied. I then told him that I was contacting an attorney over the mats and he said he did not care and that it was in the legal hands now. This is the first Toyota I have ever bought. Is this how the Germain Family does business and do I need an attorney. I need some answers.
I want to start by explaining that I have owned Toyotas for many years. I have bought new since 1992. I bought a new Prius in 2006 that still runs today (200,000 mi). Last January I bought a used 2009 Prius from Conacelli Toyota. Upon delivery I noticed that the floor mats and cargo cover were missing. I called the dealership and we all believed that this was an oversight when the car was detailed prior to me picking it up. It had thes items when I test drove it. The mats were mailed to me shortly after my phone call but no results with the cargo cover other than they sent me one but it doesn’t fit my vehicle. This has been going on for months with no satisfaction. I tried to resolve this with Conacelli but I feel 9 months is long enough. I hope this letter will help Toyota resolve this.
Sincerely,
Stephen Pagano
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.

We had purchased a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe from Vinnie @ Day Toyota in Pleasant hills, Pa. in October.
we had bought it on a saturday, and was told that it would be washed, waxed, and detailed for our pickup on Monday. i was concerned cause when we took it for a test drive, and there was an odor inside that bothered me. they assured me they would address it. that was joke #1. their way of taking care of it was to spray some air freshner in the vehicle. it was washed, but NOT waxed! Actually when we pulled out of the lot, we had to go down and put gas in it. i thought Wow………what service ! An empty vehicle and NO smiles!
when the air freshner had wore off, the smell was back!!!!! i have allergy, and sinus probems, and was getting a headache every time i got in the vehicle. i had then decided to clean it out myself, and was not too surprised to find cheerios, m&m’s, moldy chicken nuggets, a fork, and toys under the seats.. i was furious to think they would actually sell a vehicle like that………………… this proves my point……………. the vehicle was NOT detailed. they lied!
i went to this dealer cause i was referred to them, and said they would treat me good. and be fair. We had bought an extended vehicle that cost us $1,600.00 and said we wanted bumper to bumper coverage so we would not have to worry about anything…………………….. they assured us everything would be covered. this was joke #2. A few months after driving it
i heard a noise when i turned the wheel, and when i took it in for an oil change and to get a price on new tires, they told me (the oil change store) that my tyrod, and ball joint were bad with suspension problems.
i did not get the work done there cause i had an extended warranty with a $100.00 deductible.
i took it back to the dealer where i had bought it, and they confirmed the work that needed done, but informed us the warranty company refused it cause it was “Out of warranty” and was only covered up to 50,000 miles. we had bought the vehicle with OVER 57,000 miles on it.
Basically they sold us a warranty that was already “OUT OF WARRANTY” ! why were we not informed, and offered a cheaper warranty to just cover the “Powertrain”???????
they had given us an owners manual for a Hyundai car, and NOT a “SUV”. i had to fight to get an owners manual, and wait 6 weeks to get it. (2) weeks after i got the truck, , a light burnt out and i took it back and they replaced it with an attitude, and then put gas in the vehicle, and then , and only then when i insisted on talking to a manager
there were 4 mis matched tires on the vehicle when they sold it to us, the windshield skorters are completely off, and dont even hit the windshield.. i have a broken handle in the back seat, and the inside wasnt even cleaned. there were stains on the seats.
NOW………….my check engine light is on!
They do not want to work with me and make me “HAPPY” and fix these issues.
it has been one problem after another, and. i am so sorry i walked in to this dealership
i have called a number of times to put in a complaint, and NEVER EVER got a return call.!
I am VERY MAD customer and i have all rights to be! i will NEVER recommend this dealer to anyone, and will tell everyone i come in contact with about the “POOR” service, and how we got :”RIPPED” off!.
IMy next step is to i call the Attorney General, the BBB, and the news media about this issue.
you are a very dishonest dealership and rip people off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . how would you like to pay for a warranty that you cant use UNLESS the motor or tranny blows up but was told differently?
Very dissatisified customer!
Is it normal for them to only stick out around 3inches:( I have a 71/2 foot that it barely fits on them. I was running trying to get out of the rain my foot slipped off needless to say not very happy!!!my husband cant even use them!!! please help!!! I only had my truck two months it’s my first time owning a Toyota and the runningboards were the first thing we purchase for it. very unhappy with then:( but love my Toyota!!!
I had my fuel enjecters cleaned which I thought they were fixing them . This was Sept . 4 , 2012 , Now I have a problem . My gas gage is not working . I thought they changed the fuel injuctors , but they just cleaned them I paid $159.00 which I think is crazy for them to just be flushed . I could of bought something myself . I was under the impression that my fuel injecters were changed . I have a 2008 prius that I got Sept 2010 . I had to pay $400.00 for a battery and took in for the recalls . I was told I have to pay $115.00 for a diagnostic test which will be charged to me if what they find is not under warrenty . Or if the work they did is not the problem . I think that’s a bunch of crap . They just did a diagnostic test when I took it in to get the recalls done can'[t they go by that . I can’t afford to pay anymore money on this car . I am so upset that this can’t be resolved . What the heck is the warranty for if I have to pay for the diagnostic , I;m coccidering takeing it back and trading it with some other dealer . Money , money , money is all you want from ppl . I should of been told that it was just a flushing , I could of did that myself and saved myself $159.00 . I don’t even want the car anymore . I had the car 2 yrs and had to get a new battery . What kind of cars are you guys sellling . I’m sure they knew it would need to be replaced soon . Does your company sell half ass fixed used cars . I was very happy with this car now I have all these things going on and have only had the car 3 yrs . Sept . 2013 . Can someone please call me . Thank you Rosemary Soto 909-889-5208 or 909-252-0717 .
In your ad on tv in fort smith ar tv area the ad says we make them better. Well if you look close at the ad a hand wipes the side of a truck showing your logo on the drivers front fender . The paint job is. orange peeled around the logo that is not better by no means . I fi. rst thought was if you can’t get the paint job right then what else is wrong .that stopped me from buying one this year. Instead I went with. A chevy. truckyou might want to look at your ad and see for your self. Truck coming off the assembly line looking like that lost a sale for your company . Sorry about that but I notice everything.

I brought a new 2011 Toyota Tacoma in 2011 from Danville Toyota in Danville, VA. I have been having problems with the brakes every since day one. I have taken the truck back to the dealership at lease 3 to 4 times. They have replaced all the brakes and rodory as well. I am still having issues. They can’t get the brake issue resolve. This need to be place on the lemon law. I am try of taking it back and forwad to the shop for repairs. I have not enjoyed my new truck yet. When you paid as much as I did for a new truck, you should enjoy it. I am so try of this problem. The brakes are grinding and virbrating, and they smell as well. Toyota should take this truck. I am afraid that I will be having trouble withthe brakes forever long after the warranty has completed. Please respond as soon as possible. I have been patient long enough. Thanks, Dexter H. Miller
I own a Toyota Rav4, with 22000 miles. I went out to start the car and it made a horrible noise like a rod was knocking. I turned if off and called my husband and he told me not to try to start it again. When he came home we tried to start it and it would not start. He checked the oil and everything he knew how to check and we tried to start it again. It sounded really sluggish when we tried to start it but it finally started, but made that horrible sound again and thick smoke came out of the tailpipe.
We call Don Ringler Toyota in Temple Texas and they told us to have it towed in where they could check it out. The service dept. originally told us it had something to do with the cam. The dealership kept it all day and then told us to come pick it up. When we started it, it still made this horrible sound for about 10 or 15 seconds, then stopped making the sound. The Service Dept. at Don Ringler Toyota told us that the car is supposed to make this sound when it is first started. We have had the car for a year and it has NEVER made this sound.
We were told that when the car is first started it has to have time for the oil to get up into the engine so that is what is causing the sound. Personally this sound like a BS answer. The car has a problem and the dealership doesnt know what it is. I have owned several cars over the years and its NOT normal for a car to make a sound like a rod is knocking when you first start it. Now the dealership tells me that I have to pay the towing charge since they couldnt find anything wrong with the vehicle.
This is unfair because there is definately something wrong with the car. I am not a mechanic, but at the same time I am not a idiot. I would think that a company with the reputation of Toyota would find what the problem is and fix it and pay for the towing since they are the ones that told me to have it towed in. The car still makes a sound like a rod is knocking when I first start the vehicle, but the sound does stop after a few seconds.
No matter what anyone says, this is not normal for the operation of any vehicle. I dont know what the problem is, as I said I am not a mechanic, but I do know there is a problem. I would appreciate if if someone could get back with me on this and tell me what my next step should be. Thanks Melinda Murray
Although I find it an unpleasant task, I feel that I must bring to your attention a couple of issues occurred with your representative working the evening of 3/15/2013 at your Ensley Store Toyota. I have purchased several Toyota vehicles including one on 3/15/13. I’m not upset but disappointed. Up until this year I’ve had a good experience with every Toyota I’ve purchased.
I have never had a salesman refuse to take an offer to management and have never been given the incorrect payment for a vehicle based on price and interest rate. These things happened to my wife and me on 3/15/2013. The negotiations process began with dealer m making an offer we made a counter offer then this happen. The salesman refused to take an offer to the Manager for a vehicle. His Words “you ask him”.
Then begin to state he wouldn’t lose a deal over 100.00. He would give us the money out his pocket, once my wife stressed that 100.00 was a lot of money to us. Then he stated he accepted the offer, but until that comment we were confused. After the acceptance of the offer we completed the deal.
He returned with numbers for the deal total amount financed 23,700 at 2.95 for 72 months with a payment of 376.00 and a 1.9 percent finance offer for 60 months with an additional 1000 added to vehicle also. I took the 72 month option. The monthly payment he stated was incorrect it should have been 359.56. Then, I went to finance with Russ with the understanding payment was 376 for 72 months.
I was offered an extended warranty and the new payment would be 394.00. I accepted the offer believing it was approximately an additional 20.00 a month and the cost of warranty an estimated 1400.00. I firmly believe it was on purpose to encourage me to purchase the warranty. I take responsibility for not reading my contract completely before signing. However, concerning sales representative actions with my spouse and I during the negotiations process were unprofessional, and an unwarranted under the circumstances.
The incorrect monthly payment I found also very misleading and unethical. Presently, I hope my experience is not the norm for your dealership. I feel obligated to send this letter to your corporate office. I don’t want anyone else to experience the attitude, but importantly be taken advantage of by trusting your accounting. I’m not upset but disappointed. Up until this year I’ve had a good experience with every Toyota I’ve purchased.
I have a toyota 4 runner sport edition 2005, my toyota is in good condition, but I very upset when I see the dash completely cracked and I don’t have money to buy new one. I believe that the Company Toyota have to repair my car because they use a bad material for manufacture the dash. If somebody can help, do now , please.

To Toyota, My Name is Ben Buse, I purchased my kluger in dec 2010 from a Sydney dealership. The car was always serviced by Toyota with full log book history! Being one reason I bought the car! I also purchased an extended warranty to go with it as the original one was to expire shortly!
Within a year of owning the car it developed a suspect (rattle on start up) and when I asked about it on the next Toyota service the mechanic said he could find the problem! This went on for the next few services until with my persistence the Toyota mechanic herd the noise, diagnosed as a VVti issue common with these engines!
As I have always had the car serviced on time and kms by Toyota I was very disappointed to find out that the issue was not covered under my warranty or extended warranty! After consulting with Mike Carney Toyota in Townsville they said to me that I would still have to bare all the labour costs amounting to $5700.
The car has only just reached 60000 km and as I bought this car for a family veh and planned to have it for many years, I feel through no fault of my own I have been delt an unfair hand with this vehicial.I feel that Toyota Australia should cover all expenses in fixing this Veh as I have always got every service done by Toyota and the Veh fault is obviously a design problem!
I had my first service for my 2012 prius plug in and experienced ANOTHER SERVICE DEPT. being dishonest. I used to own a honda hybrid civic and brought it to service to have oil change and tire rotation. I removed front valve covers from tires to make sure they did it. When I picked up car sure enough, they said they did and noted it on service form that it was, but lied and didnt. do it. I complained and they gave me the same old bs that. sorry we’ll do it now and they gave me a free oil change. I figured they cant be trusted and went to different dealer for service from then on.
Lo and behold i buy the prius and I do the same thing, remove valve covers. Wait an hour and a half pick up car and go home. I check valve covers and sure enough they didnt rotate tires like they said and marked off on sheet. I had to drive all the way back , they apolgized and I watched them do it. Imagine how many times they dont get caught. Please reply to this email
Am unable to repair the frame of my 1997 4-Runner (Limited Edition). The Frame is completely rusted through in 4 locations, and has been deemed unsafe to drive! The private service/repairmen have questioned why the steel on such a well mainted vehicle would be so damaged. (NOTE: The body, engine, & interior are in good shape). I live in a remote area where a 4-wheel drive is a requirement, and in my case, a medical necessity to maintain cancer treatmenta. I CAN NOT: Afford a loss of $4.5 – $5,000 / Do without a 4xwheel drive / Afford another vehicle. [Owned 12-13 yrs / hwy use only / vin# -JT3HN86R5VO115911 999 / Originally purchased- Fannin’s Toyota, Flatwoods- KY (now) Ashland, KY 41101. I JUST WANT TO FIX MY 4-RUNNER…..PLEASE HELP!!
On 12/26/12 my daughter was in an accident with our 2013 Toyota Corolla and her seatbelt never locked nor did the airbags deploy. As a result she was thrown forward and her head hit the rear view mirror, her left hanf smashed into to airvent over the radio. She fractured her hand and tore the ligement in that hand also. She was not a fault for the accident the other driver was. She was hit in the right front passanger side, causing $5550.00 in damaged just to the car, this does not inclued the medical damages to her. I believe that this is a huge safety concern and should be addressed. I can be reached at 978-360-5144 Robin or by email grandmummie43@yahoo.com
Thank you
I own a 2008 Toyota Camry has only 40000 miles is burning oil. Found out the car burning oil in late 2011, and went to San Francisco Toyota dealer try to fix it . They test the car almost a year and the result is burning oil . They told me is already fix the problem. Oil Chang done in the dealer. Now I find out the car still burning oil and went back to the dealer . They told me every 1200 miles burning one quart oil is normal. The car only fill with only 4 quart engine oil . They told me can change oil every 5000 miles. That doesn’t sound right. But my car warranty only has 5 years with 60000 miles. The warranty will end soon. How can I get my engine fix under the warranty period.
Car salesmen sold me a 49000 vehicle and left me in the cold with no keys to new vehicle no tag and dealership closed doors to dealership. Had to catch the mechanic that was leaving to catch the salesmen. Then nobody helped me retreive belongings from my trade. I Drove over 300 miles to buy this vehicle and 300 miles home. Then I made a complaint over the phone went back five days later with my wife(bi-racial couple) and six year old and was refused service or the help from a manager. The salemen David Linzy(vicksburg toyota) the verbly attaked me with curse words in front of our 6 year old and charged me phisically as I walked outside of the building. The other salesmen restrained the associate in front of me and my family. I paid for taxes and tags on 12/12/12 and todays date is 1/4/2013 I was given a seven day tag and had to wait and make several complaints to get another which has expired and was told i would receive one within seven to ten days.This plate still has not arrived and the associate also threatend to have me and my family followed and run off the road . Charges were filed with vicksburg city police. The police also gave us a friendly escort since the dealership representative new we were from out of state and notified us we would be followed and run off the road. Not sure of the dealerships screening methods of who they hire or even who they deal with or if they even care about any of there customers so far we have been treated with no respect at all or well being for my family.My six year old started crying and my wife and I feel very unsafe by the methods that took place at Vicsburg toyota..
Marietta Toyota had the audacity to charge me $316 to change an $8 gasket. The process took no more than 1 hour. When I complained to management, I received a curt, irritated response from a robot-like person who said, “We charge a flat rate for the repair. It has nothing to do with the cost of the part.” What nonsense! How on earth can a $316 charge be justified for something that took a maximum of 1 hour. This is totally outrageous, and everyone should know how Marietta Toyota rips you off and then gets irritated when you challenge their disrespect for customers.
I have Toyota fortuner and I got my car repair from globe Toyota Mohali near Chandigarh punjab after taking the delivery of my vehicle i came to know that parts replaced during repair are customer property but when contacted dealer next day I shocked to hear that the dealer has sold out my parts (amounting Rs 15000) in the market. After giving me assurance by dealer to compancate me neither I lodged a complaint against dealer nor taken any other legal action. Now I realise to be cheated by Toyota dealer which is not appreciated as part of great Toyota co. As I have to move to court for justice
I’ve purchased my Toyota Rush 1.5G A/T (Register No:- SA 8188) in year Nov. 2011 from Toyota sales centre (Harapan Memang Sdn Bhd) in Kolombong, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. I’ve religiously follow the Maintenance schedule as stated by Toyota. During my first maintenance i sent to UMW maintenance centre which located at Inanam, Kota Kinabalu.
Second weeks after my first maintenance and my neighbour have notice that My Rush have some oil dripping off from underneath of the car. Thereafter, I brought the car back to UMW for further inspection but at the same time they also found the Exhaust-pipe leakage (hole) but it has been fixed and it was very satisfied.
Out of Sudden, I’ve heard some noise coming out from the gear box last two months ago, and i just simply brought my car to one of the workshop which near by to my house for inspection just want to clarify that I might be wrong. After the inspection and test drive by the workshop mechanic and surprisingly the mechanic also complaint about the same noise as what i heard.
Thereafter, I brought my car back to UMW Service Centre for complaining about the noise and they told me that they will look into it and go for further inspection. When i collected the car
and they said no problem with the gear box but when i drove the car out from the service centre and heard the same noise were still there. I called them and told them why the noise is still there, but they said its like that. So i got no choice to drive the car away with the noise and hope it’s will be alright.
After few days and i hear the noise getting worst and worst. So I brought the car back to UMW Service Centre again & again to complaint the same problem but they just ignore me and told me that no problem with the gear box and it,s like that. It’s meant the Mechanic in UMW Service Centre unable to hear the noise and to rectify the problem.
During the purchased of the car, there is an express and implied the warranty that the car is suppose to be of merchantable quality and fit to purpose and that i am eligible for free services and any replacement of parts if it is manufacturing defect.
I hope you can help me in this matter because from my point of view. Toyota should take this seriously for the such character and behavior of the maintenance team. And appreciated if Toyota can call me (+6016 88100633)for the further inspection & repair of my car before too late.
Have feedback for Toyota?
Thanks for your feedback!
Sorry. Please try again later!
