Is it just me... or would you be ticked at Toyota

Even when it's not 'needed' it can still make for a special occasion lol

 

This thread was very entertaining. Especially the outrage and stitching LOL.

 

No warranty does!!!

 

It's a shifter knob on a 6 year old truck!!!
I must be missing the point?

l guess I'd just be happy that that's all l had to complain about. But that's just me.

 

Seems like the OP should be talking to this guy

Personally I NEVER buy an extended warranty, as may have said they are a waste of money. Take would you would have paid for the warranty and put it in the bank. Then when you do have a problem there's cash on hand to deal with it. Over time there will be more cash because extended warrantees are sold to make money for the "insurance" company. There's no reason why you shouldn't be the one keeping the money.

 

Just bash a hole in the roof, say a UFO hit it or something.......during a rain storm......

I know homeowners will cover floors from a washer leak or line bursting....

I know for a fact they cover stolen firearms from your car...

 

This thread is great. I'd not even notice the thread was worn through for another 6 years. Lol.

 

Not real good to have a firearm stolen from your vehicle though. Lots of questions of why it was there and how long. But good to know they will cover that. Hopefully someone comes in and steals my ex wife’s wedding ring. They will cover that as well

 

I think judging by the reaction to the torn stitching, this might be the smallest issue in OP’s life.

 

Warranty is for mechanical or electrical failures. Or something the factory may have assembled incorrectly. A shift knob wearing out is probably going under the "normal wear" category like tires and brakes.

 

"Bumper to Bumper Warranty!"




Except for the following: engine, transmission, axles, suspension, interior pieces, body panels, and anything else that could break

OP, after 4 pages and 70-some responses, it seems it is just you...

 

My brake pedal cover is worn. Do I sue the dealership?

 

the part is apx. $45 retail, how much dealer cost is, I don't know. The fact that they pissed you off for sub $40 shows that you are dealing with armatures at this dealership. The service manager has it within his discretion for a certain $ amount of "good will" and if it went the other way you would be on here praising this dealer for replacing a 5 year old worn shift knob for free, unfortunately it didn't go that way... they just bought themselves a million $ worth of bad press for $40.

 

My steering wheel is slightly worn at the 12 o’clock position on my 2012. I should sue for a brand new truck

 

Yes for sure.

 

They already have tons of bad press,and Toyota seems to careless.

 

Armatures?

 

Did this when the stitching on my 2010's knob went bad. Only a 12 ball instead of 8.

My only complaint is sometimes the sun hits that shiny party just right and blinds me. I keep meaning to paint it black.

 

Maybe that happens in New York....around here, or wait...I'm sorry let me say it right.........ahemmmm "Around THESE parts", nobody asks why or how long. They KNOW why, and they don't care how long.
