TFL just broke their new Tacoma

Can someone point me to a place talking about the differences between the Toyota ADD and the Jeep or Bronco FAD? Or, if you know how it's different post here.

Also, OP edited to include all 3 video links.

 

Given the fact the failure was caught on video and then posted to YouTube for millions of people to see, how could you not expect the chief engineer to be involved.

 

That wasn't a cut. I was just commenting I think it will be sooner. You don't think you'll get in before this summer?

 

I was expecting to have it by June. I am still ready to order Alucab and a front bumper (from whomever) whenever they announce. So that I would be ready to throw and go in preparation for the fall shoulder season travel. By that time KO3s or Wildpeaks 4ws in 35s will be in stock. That was plan A. Now with recent events, I really expect Toyota's end to be pushed back several months.

 

You should go and investigate.

 

I guess I'm more optimistic they'll hit their target in April. There is a LOT of pressure for them to do that. If they don't, some heads may roll.

 

If it happened to me or you, the dealer would claim abuse as most probable cause, warranty denied, and a bill to fix it.

 

No need really, it failed, check your parts supplier, check function, try to replicate it and see what happens. I just thought the 20 engineers comment was amusing, if anything...too many engineers talking about one thing is the problem...lol

 

100% correct!

 

It's a totally new model and vehicle #316 off the assembly line. I'm sure the guy that lead the engineering team would like to get to the bottom of it. Wouldn't you think?

 

The seem to have a few engineers to spare maybe those will be some of the heads...lol

 

2 of them dont break even if your tires arent snow rated?

 

A couple of the early tundra engine failures were turned away at first because of the abuse argument until they started dropping more often, so I think his statement is totally valid and representative of what a lot of normal customers might experience.

 

Well the chief engineer is in the loop even though you don't like their protocol. Sorry.

 

Yes. Then he wouldn't look like just a PR spokesmodel.

 

Never apologize for your beliefs!!!....I could care less about their protocol, I mainly find this amusing

 

Which year?

 

Definitely. I just watched a video a couple days ago of a guy who’s Tundra engine failed and the dealer claimed it was his fault because he takes it offroad and gave him a bill of $32K to repair the engine.

 

Everyone should just keep a screenshot of Toyota.com for their day in court.
