Dealership refusing to cover under warranty due to offroad abuse

No....he drove it on mud/sand filled drums for 5 months after being told they needed to be cleaned out.

 

So either its poor engineering or a defective piece... In both cases, the dealership shouldve replaced it under warranty

 

"Off-Road" is too general of a term.

This is technically Off-Road:

and so is this:


Should you expect Toyota warrant your vehicle on both? I think we see more of their ads with Tacos on terrain like the first photo, don't you? That's not false advertising.

 

All I could think of is the other guy who had his whole back axle ripped off while reading this whole thread.

You could get his drum brakes or maybe help him get a warranty coverage? Lol. It’s covered right?

 

I thought he cleaned the drums for 5 months after the dealer told him to swamp his muds?

 

I cant find that post... I keep going to OPs first post then scoured each page thereafter trying to find post where OP states he drove using Shreks swamp for rear brakes

 

He doesn't state in the OP of this thread specifically when they failed, but we do know that he got informed of the mud back in december.






Hold up I found this post later on in that thread. This thread is full of conflicting info.

 

Thats what I thought, I couldnt find that post anywhere

 

Wrong, read my post below that I just made.

 

Finally the truth.

Defense rests your honor

 

Good news though OP. Brakes are about as easy as it gets.Next time save yourself some money and fix it yourself. I would never pay 900 on brakes . Very easy and if you wheel a good thing to learn especially if they fail on the trail.

 

LOL It's actually an RC vehicle! Just used the photo to make a point. Notice the tree size on the left?

That's a huge tree. Where can I find these, Pandora?

 

A proportionate valve should have detected the sudden loss of brake line pressure to the rear brakes and sealed off the front brakes.

This would have prevented the complete brake failure as described. Furthermore, should your rear brake components come apart, the hand brake wouldn't work?

Or am I missing something?

 

Heck ya it's cool. I'm sure it exists in real size somewhere.

 

We are probably missing a lot of things.

 

I honestly don't know whether the brakes broke 5 months ago when he went into the dealership, or if he went to the dealership with mud in the drums, then didn't clean them, then had the brake issues...either way this has be going

Why did you quote me? im on your side!!!

 

Ok... So basically, EVERYONE IS ASSUMING OP DROVE SWAMP-DRUMS FOR 5 MONTHS WHEN HE NEVER STATED THAT.... Your Honor, this is slander and I would like the record to show that assumptions were made here based on factitious information based on nothing but imagination, I move to dismiss any further argument made by the defendant(s) till further clarification by OP
