  1. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    "Federal auto safety regulators are considering a formal investigation into model-year 2024 through 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander crossovers following reports that the vehicle's front grille design leaves critical cooling components vulnerable to road debris, potentially causing severe engine...
  2. Trusting Toyota Service Department

    As long as the name outside the dealership says Toyota, they wear Toyota shirts and work shirts inside the dealer, that name Toyota sticks. That means to the customer, it says Toyota along with the named dealership. Bad dealer, or bad service reflects poorly on Toyota likewise, or else why...
  3. Do we need a front lower grille mesh on Tacoma 2024+?

    Now get some chicken wire for the lower openings' underneath...
  4. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    Yes, Toyota has gone cheaper and cheaper in their designs and materials. 6-speed manual transmission, poor design, replaced at 15k miles by Toyota. Now, I am still in negotiations with the dealer after I sent them some of my forward-facing camera inputs. But the a/c condenser is of weak...
  5. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    Since Toyota makes weak condensers, I finished phase 1 of the front project. Basic chicken wire and self-tappers plugged the 4 openings on lower chin. Does not have to look pretty, gets the job done that Toyota lacks.
  6. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    Yup, Toyota poor design or cheap parts, either way, they will not cover the bill and have to make up an "accident" with insurance claim. Sad that Toyota will not assist and blame you, the driver.
  7. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    Do not say that, some on here will accuse you of being "crazy" and other stuff. I agree, Toyota could do better with their bumper openings especially with such a huge nose on this truck. I will start with this: And I will design some chicken wire squares that I will self-tap into the 4...

    Dude, you never been through an ISO audit have you? You have to be precise in your work, show defined procedures and documentation to where the employee or process is well defined and being followed. That shows CREDIBILITY with the work you are doing, and it will show with not only the...
  9. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    Typical response! The tech and service greeter techs admitting to commit fraud on my front camera, not telling me how long the diagnostic test and recalls would take and then driving my truck on the street without the seatbelt (chime signing along for miles) and you support that? And I think...
  10. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    I blame Toyota for not even giving a shyt about something I had no idea happened. It's called customer service. All Toyota customer service stated was to make up an "accident" with my insurance company and file an insurance claim while I have a full warranty to 100,000 above just the...
  11. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    Trophy trucks have typically 37" off-road racing tires, and they kick up more rocks than a rock beach when they pass a stock-mini Toyota with stock radiator up front. Point was, never had a rock hit my factory radiator up front in 7 desert races..
  12. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    In Baja we had trophy trucks kick dirt and rocks into my 86 Toyota front, no issues whatsoever with stock radiator placement up front. No breaking shock bodies or mounts, tie-rod ends, axle shafts, nothing.
  13. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    Seriously, do you people know how the world works? I had to make up an "accident" with my insurance company to get the "claim" filed because Toyota would not stand with its customer base. We picked a date, road I was on and time of day to get the "claim" started. That is why I got upset that...
  14. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    So, catching them on camera talking about defrauding the customer and not being thoural is ok with you? Nice to know... Same issue would happen with the TRD Pro, but my Camry would not have suffered this same fate.
  15. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    They designed it, not me. If the customer has to resort to chicken wire on a new model, that tells you something. I have driven Toyota trucks for decades and raced with Toyota back in the day down in Baja, please do not lecture me about these trucks.
  16. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    It can be a design issue, if the support was just a few inches over, this would have never happened. I did not approve of final front bumper/ plastic design though, they did.
  17. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    No, I had to lie to the insurance company that I had some "accident" and figure out a day when it happened, also known as a lie. Plus, I had to lie about what road and time it happened on likewise. It was no "accident" because I have no police report either.
  18. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    It was not my design the front grill and connectors. Toyota designed it and it failed the customer. I already had to add to this cheapened design: Metal front skid plate because Toyota put a felt fabric one. Proper front retrieval points and added rear ones because none back there. Better...

    This nose attracts it all compared to my Camry
  20. Condenser struck by (something) Toyota will not replace under warranty

    Update to all: The service manager called and talked with me at length and he explained the sitch. He agreed after I file an insurance claim that he would waive the original diagnostic fee to determine what happened into the insurance claim. So, for now it is all out of my hands and the...
