Broke down

I was going to buy new but went 1 gen instead bought 96 extrcab 4 banger and just escaped the payment monster..... 140 miles paid 5000$ .... but anyways my mechanic bought new 2016 inferno 4door long bed and is having trouble with his tranny i feel sorry for him because i was all upset that i. Lost a hubcap that didnt seem to want stay on and he really has reason to be angry! Lol

 

140 miles?

 

Oh im sorry Lol ! 140000

 

5 lugs are still better then rangers we got that going for us.

 

I called every local dealer to see if they would provide a loaner before the tow got there. Not a single one said they would do it. When I bought the vehicle, one of the "perks" was a free loaner during warranty work. That, apparently was a lie.

 

stealerships man.

 

I wouldn't have called an asked, I would have called and told

 

In writing in your warranty papers? It should be. If so, call the GM and tell him you are getting the run around. Because no one has looked at it yet, they can't 'determine' if it's warranty work or you abused it by not using Toyota Care. (I'm serious. It's nuts, but I bet that's what it is)

Or was the loaner salesman talk? If salesman, ask the salesman why he lied. In front of his boss. And other customers. Nicely of course, but with enough volume to be heard clearly.

 

Corporate just called and they diagnosed the problem...any guesses?

 

It's normal. They all do that.

Or.

It's out of gas.

Or.

We can't replicate, it runs fine.

 

Cps

 

Geez. Post 3, 5 & 6 all had that.......... Should we become service writers?

Insist on the trans fluid check, tell them you want to know how much they add.

Insist on the trans TSB being performed while it's there too.

 

Haha

 

Does anyone know the tsb # off the top of their head

 

Excellent idea

Ask corp for the 100k warranty

 

I dig it.

Yea, it's not lush. But if it does what you need it to for a vehicle, it's a great choice.

Look at it this way. You saved $2k of instant depreciation not buying new. That will do a lot of updating/repair/baseline maintenance on your ride.

And your insurance will be silly cheap by comparison.

 

I don't think I'm capable of pulling that off, however, I have lost a fair amount of confidence in this truck

 

It's actually quite easy. Call, tell them what happened and ask how a brand new toyota truck could leave you stranded on the road. Your confidence in the truck has been shattered, ask what they do to mitigate concerns like that. Ask how you should be confident enough to keep the truck and not trade it in for another manufacturer.

Call multiple times if you need to, but I don't think you'll have to.
