Consumer Description
I SENT A LETTER (ATTACHED) TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND TO TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION. THIS IS TOYOTA CORPORATE'S RESPONSE. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT A MAJOR CAR COMPANY ABLE TO SELL AND SERVICE CARS IN THE U.S. WOULD RESPOND IN THIS FASHION. THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THEY DIDN'T ACCEPT THE REQUIRED RESULTANT ACTION FROM THE CORROSION RECALL AND REMEDY. THEY SIMPLY PASSED BY TREATING THE FRAME (PATH OF LEAST COST AND EFFORT) AND DID NOT ACT IN GOOD FAITH NOW THEY HAVE A CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY AND SATISFACTION OF THEIR PATRONS. THE CASE MANAGER DID NOT SEE THE VEHICLE HIMSELF OR VIEW THE DAMAGE OR HAVE PICTURES PRIOR TO HIS RESPONSE. BELOW IS THEIR RESPONSE: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING TOYOTA.
