Consumer Description

I HAVE OWNED MY TOYOTA TACOMA FOR 18 MONTHS AND MY RADIO HAS HAD PROBLEMS EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT IT. TOYOTA SUPPOSEDLY HAS RAN TESTS ON IT EVERY TIME I BROUGHT IT IN AT 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATIONS. IT STILL RANDOMLY CUTS OFF AND TAKES FOREVER TO COME BACK ON. IT ALSO WILL END A CALL WHILE I'M ON THE PHONE WITH SOMEONE OR DISCONNECT MY PHONE WHILE I'M ON THE PHONE WITH SOMEONE AND WON'T CONNECT BACK. TODAY I TOOK IT UP THERE AND I JUST HIT 37,000 MILES TODAY AND NOW THEY WANT TO TELL ME I NEED A NEW RADIO BUT IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY AFTER I HIT 37,000 MILES SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. IT IS NOW BEING TAKEN UP WITH TOYOTA SINCE I HAVE TOLD THEM ABOUT IT SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK.
