Dealer Impounded my 2016 Tacoma on Routine Service Due to Recall

LOL!!!

 

Yeah, but we can afford to be closed minded because we're right.

 

That is true, we might apologize everyone to death, or have our Prime Minister take selfies with everyone.

OP is going to make TW status with a single post in a year.

 

I'm thinking they're may be some cleaning up by a mod or 2. Hopefully no one gets a vacation.
On a serious note. Seems weird that the dealer could legally do that.

 

Asks question, gets reply "normal" and then cancels membership and sells truck. After the dealer gives it back, of course.

 

I would ask a sheriff''s deputy to meet me at the dealership and have them explain to the deputy under what statute or other legal means they have confiscated my property--and advise them that if they do not return same they will be arrested for felony theft. I have seen the "rear axle" TSB (I am assuming that is their issue) and it states that dealers are to hold new and used vehicles "in their inventory" until further instruction.

However it does not, nor could it, grant them authority to seize personal property--that's what court orders can do, not Toyota or one of their dealerships that has decided to play Mr. BadÅss guardian of the public safety...

 

If I am not mistaken it is a Recall and not a TSB. I am sure the OP will get the Truck back in short order and can enjoy the Loaner SUV in the meantime.

 

OP abandoned us.

 

It doesn't matter, the dealership has NO authority, legal or otherwise, to confiscate his property--if a dealer tried that with me I would say "You people are quite the jokers aren't you?" and then call the police...

 

If dealer tryed 2 keep my truk id git reel mayud n yell n pull out my pistol gun n git reel tuff. aint nobuddy gona keep my stuff! fuk them 4 takin my broke ass truk i need to carry round stuff in the bed aint no mini van gonna halp me being a man...my nuts wont fit in a van! you no what im sayin?

 

Pretty much, however I would be less vulgar, more civilised and more business-like--unless they pushed me beyond "that" point...

 

hell ya bro, thats what im screamin about

 

@cliffyk op left us n i been lookin 4 sum friends...we have a lot in comon we shood hang out sum time

 

Theresa Caputo taking over @2016_dbag and spiriting Oneshort? Scary shit for sure.

 

Wait! What? There is an official toyota recall fix. Read the damn recall. It tells the dealerships exactly what they are to do. Call corp toyota care. It's an 800 number. Tell them to light a fire under your dealership.
