At least they are steping up to the plate. Only time Toyota steps up to the plate is after their customers either hound them or the courts tell them to. Thats why CR reports on the Camry has dropped so much. So go back to your tinny toyota forums where you belong.

The problem is when you need warranty work. Their attitude is nothing is wrong, its a toyota its all in your head and thats the way its supposed to work. Go over to the Camry site and read back about all the problems and the people who have sold them at a loss just to get rid of them BECAUSE THEY DON'T STEP UP TO THE PLATE.

Like other manufacturers, GM is often reluctant to publicly admit problems. Instead, it describes such things as banging engines in brand-new trucks as "perfectly normal," while secretly buying back vehicles from consumers who are assertive to retain a lawyer. It's been playing this little game lately with its full-sized pickups and SUVs.
Then there's DexCool, the standard coolant on many new GM vehicles. The owner's manual states that this stuff lasts up to 100,000 miles. In fact, in all too many cases, the coolant turns to gunk long before then, causing serious problems that include overheating and subsequent engine failure. GM knows about the problem but so far has refused to take responsibility.

Kind of like the Toyota sludge problems on the Camry, the Tundra engines blowing up on brand new trucks or the big recall and few deaths on their trucks due to hesatation. Same problem that Toyota owners have been fighting with Toyota on certain models of Lexus and the Camry but it is all on deaf ears. Sinse you are toyota4life you couldn't see a problem if it was right in front of your nose so why not go back to your Toyota boards and ejoy.

Has anyone had a chance to sample an '09 Lambda? Can you tell a difference in the acceleration with the Direct Injected engine?

I wish I could share toyota4life's confidence in Toyota products and dealers. My experiences with my 2001 Toyota Sequoia Limited and my local dealer's service dept have been below standard. The truck itself has always been giving electronic trouble of some kind- mosltly minor stuff, but annoying. However, the central computer module has had to be replaced, and now the throttle body assembly ($1036 + labor) for some electrical fault. The truck was liable to stall ANYWHERE. It was very dangerous.
Also the first Sequoias had a braking system that was not adequate for the weight of the truck. Our brakes have been replaced at least three if not four times in 75k miles, and it's not the driver's fault. We put up 65k on our last vehicle before we had to replace the brakes.
Lastly, I have been overcharged, cheated and lied to my face by my local Toyota service manager.
We just bought a Buick Enclave CXL(Goodbye Toyota). So far we like it. I know that now there is a recall coming up- so what? I've had GM prducts that have been recalled before- they just fix the problem and give the car back.
