lost the battle with Toyota corp on my differential

I voided my warranty in the first six months of having my truck. Not a lot of fucks given but I also don't have any leaks. Actually that's a lie, my rack and pinion is leaking but I will go ahead and fix that myself in a couple weeks.

I was just offering up a solution to the problem.

Good luck with your diff

 

Not everyone wants to toss their warranty in the trash on a 35K truck. If the dealer proves unable or unwilling to fix it then, yes do what you gotta do, but some people want to exhaust their options first.

 

no the floormats that killed were a aftermarket type that weren't secured properly with the OEM mat clips and slid up under the accelerator, but Lawyers blamed Toyota for it

 

Everyone is entitled to their opinion Bill even though he says "100% true" lol. And to beat it all a lawyer said it! Q: When was the last time a lawyer told the truth? A: Never haha

It's all good though.

 

Yeah and it’s yakuza anyway. I mean really.

 

There are plenty of lawyers that are truthful. Dig deeper into the Toyota floor mat debacle and you will see it was never about the floor mats. It was always defective software yet Toyota came up with the floor mat defense as if millions of drivers over the years were too stupid to know where to place their floor mats, so now we all have floor mat hinges. I’m not sure why Toyota would settle for over $30 million if their floor mat defense was so solid.

I trust his word over Toyota. If you believe Toyota I got a " inferno red " Tacoma for you. Luckily I drive a magnetic grey one.

 

I still contend it was operator error. People drive thru convenience stores everyday because they thought they were pressing the brake but were on the gas.

I remember when that all happened some car magazine or such did a test with a bunch of cars (Prius included) and every single one the brakes were able to stop the car with the gas pedal floored. Even a Shelby GT500.

 

I think Toyota and other large Corporations settle because of bad publicity and fake news that the Progressive media puts out because all business is evil in their minds, and it hurts their sales if they don't pay off the bribe, this is nothing new, the Lawyers are there to pick up a large percent of the payoff not because of mans inhumanity towards man but for personal profits for themselves.

 

I understand many people feel this way but I am sure there was a lot of behind the scenes dynamics here that many do not know. You don’t pay that kind of money if you are innocent. In fact, Toyota lost this case at trial and then wanted to settle because they were likely about to get hammered. At times corporate America messes up and money can play a role in their profit driven decisions to make something right. I’m a Toyota fan but they messed up here and they know it. They put forth the most practical defense they could and it didn’t work. Then they settled before the damages verdict was handed down. I will say they did try the case and it is my understanding they played hardball the entire time so they stood behind their story. Either way, that is all over so let’s get those howling rear diffs fixed!

 

Don't quote me on this but I heard (fellow engineer buddy) from his buddy... Toyota application engineer) that their is supposedly a solution coming before end of year. Just what I heard.

 

I hope you are right but we have been hearing this for over a year now. Fingers crossed....

 

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or serious.
I wanna believe, but...

 

I think we should talk about something differential. (Oops)

I mean different.

 

Good point. Lol

A company as big a Toyota won’t care about something form one person, unless they see this issue form a multitude of people. So quit your biching and go buy a Nissan. Or some other much lesser vehicle.

Wonder how this will shake out, Toyota buys material from Kobe

The scandal engulfing Kobe Steel Ltd.threatened to deepen further as the company warned it may reveal more cases of falsified data after admitting to faking information on products that found their way into cars, trains, aircraft and electronics.
