Replying to: sparkland (Jul 06, 2008 12:05 pm) are you joking? the bodies arent' rotting. the frames are. i don't see other vehicles with "exposure to high salt areas" having this problem. they messed up royally is what they did and they should have to pay. sh_t! don't you think they have insurance for this type of thing.

#318 of 921 Getting Angry by cal4 Jul 07, 2008 (11:09 am)
Owners of hard used trucks that have been used in construction and oil fields are likely happy with the buy back. I bought my truck new, took great care of it, with the intention of running it 20 years and 300K miles. People like me are not making out on this deal.   I am getting angrier by the day at the way Toyota is calling all the shots and making $lemonade$ out of other peoples misfortune of buying their defective product. My experience with this situation so far is one of the Toyota people bullying me around. What can I do? I have to sell back to them for whatever they offer since these trucks are branded and worthless after this fiasco is over. We are getting lower value price due to the book value they choose, how they use it and what they allow in or out. It’s a bad time to buy a truck due to the old gas guzzling designs and the dealer’s lack of incentive to deal like when I bought my truck in 1997. Sales taxes, higher insurance (with starting over with a new vehicle) are a couple of issues that are no gift from Toyota. Toyota is going to get at least $500 for scrap value for these trucks, then keep their factories running to replace the scrapped trucks with more gas unfriendly trucks that they lure you into with $1000 off MSRP. Bottom line… Toyota wins I/we lose..   This has not all played out with me and my truck, but I certainly did not need this crappy situation Toyota has put me into right now.

Replying to: cgranberg (Jul 07, 2008 9:57 am) That contact number is just the main Toyota company, They are not giving us any information from there, Just keep saying that someone will call....WHEN??? It has been 2 months...This is so fustrating...It is like we are punished for buying a newer truck.

Replying to: cal4 (Jul 07, 2008 11:09 am) My dealer hid the 2009 Tacoma brochures in the back room then lied to me saying Toyota did not make such and such a combination of tran/engine/body type. they do . He just wonted to sell what he wonted to sell me, to hell with what the customer wants.

Have you noticed, the milage on each of the 2009 Tacomas went down 2-3 miles per gallon from 2008? Replies to this message: cal4 (Jul 08, 2008 11:37 am)

Replying to: 2001taco (Jul 07, 2008 11:42 am) HELP!! Have 2000 Tacoma--96,000 kms. Purchased in S. Ontario in 2003. Paid in full at purchase time. Received letter about undercoating defect. Holding off on dealership inspection as I am indecisive about how to handle this situation. New experience. Should local mechanic check it out first?? Called dealership. Said 10 Tacomas came in. Four pulled off road. Not prepared to possibly have to change vehicles at this time. LOVE our truck and very much needed. I am a young widow feeling proud to have purchased this beautiful set of wheels alone, but now intimidated by the "deals" Toyota is offering. Please advise on what I should do!!

Replying to: divwid (Jul 08, 2008 10:54 am) Your options are limited. Once you have been told your truck is unsafe if you continue to drive it, get in an accident because of the defect, your insurance company will not cover you since you were told it was unsafe. You have no real choice but take it in and go from there. I wouldn't wast the time and $ on your local shop looking at it since that shop did not manufacture the truck and will not fix or replace it. If only 4 out of 10 trucks got pulled by your dealer that is a mirical. My local dealer tagged every one I know of and quickly hid them, a couple of miles away, to avoid bad publicity and people asking questions when they went to the dealership to look at toyota products. I hae delt with nothing but Toyota schisters through out this mess. Verefi on the Kelly Blue Book, on line, what your truck is worth, make sure Toyota gives you 1.5 times that number and go buy a non Toyota product.
