Advice on arbitration process?

Does the dealership have a carwash they run their cars through?

 

Arbitrators are hired by Toyota, not by you. If they rule against the parent company too much, Toyota can shop for a new arbitration provider. So technically the system is stacked against you, but, that's just the world we live in.

(I know that's "car accident" but it's pretty good general advice)

I think your case will be pretty weak if it's "I want my money back because I can't use this one carwash in Jacksonville, FL" so I'd at least try to replicate the problem outside of that place, just to strengthen your argument.

Yes...after the windshield replcement, they verfied the leak. At their wash, fixed it tested it for 11 days no leaks. Gave it back to me, I test it at the wash I discovered at and it leaks.

 

Did you go through that carwash with them?

 

There's another thread about his problem. @Why me? should probably put a link to it in the original post.

 

Work ing on that now....point being it shouldn't leak at any wash.

 

No...

 

Well, I mean, no car/truck cabin is hermetically sealed. Otherwise we'd suffocate on road trips. So every cab in the world will let water in, given the right conditions. I think your job is to disprove their assertion that the cause is a defective carwash.

 

I'm challenged...tell me how

 

Sure...but if I knew beforehand I wouldn't of purchased. Is it acceptable in 2019 that a quality vehicle wound have water pour in the cabin?

 

haha, took me a long time to find it.

There's a little edit button at the bottom right corner of your post. You can edit and paste that url if you want. Or just leave it here!

 

If you go to arbitration, I want you to win. That's a good argument to have in your arsenal. Use it.

 

Yeah, I'm working off a phone....can you post for me? Significant passenger side leak.

 

That's why I became a member...to gain some knowledge and to inform you guys.... If Toyota cannot fix it a TSB should be issued.

 

Thanks for posting, a buddy had to post the video for me....old dog new tricks thing.

 

i would stop going through that car wash.

If you are allergic to peanuts do you keep eating peanuts?

Just stop it and your life will improve.

 

probably forgot to close the rear sliding window all the way
