Well, man.....sorry to hear about what the dealers said. I understand how it feels, I was worried and upset before I got the problem fixed, as well as I felt frustrated by the quality of the car that my money were paid for.
Luckily, I got my problem fixed before those "shxxt" dealers made those "shxxt" decisions that they are not going to fix the problem for those who purchased their elsewhere.
Well, I have a thinking. Those dealers that refused to fix cars purchased else where was because the Toyota Australia was not paying them for this. What if we pay for the fixes? What I mean is, get a quote from the dealer on how much they gonna cost for those fixes. Then if you guys are up for it, maybe organise a group fixes and negotiate the price a bit ????
If the price is reasonable, I guess it worths to give it a go. That really makes you fall in love with your car again. .
Just an idea........hope that helps.
