Toyota mechanical incompetence

As a toyota lover and consumer who values respect and fairness, I would like to inform and possibly warn other potential consumers of my horrific experience with toyota of goldsboro. on august 11, 2008, I took my toyota corolla 1999 in for my annual maintenance (as a professor, I commute 100 miles daily) for the beginning of the academic year. I felt particularly sure that I needed a tune up because the car was taking off a bit slower than usual, which was my only complaint. allow me to regress a minute, this car is my third toyota - the second one i've purchased new & from this very dealership. consequently, I feel rather qualified to speak on the reliability of toyotas. they have always served me well; and, I have been able to confidently drive them well into the 200, 000 mile mark. such had been the case with this car, it had 157, ooo miles; had never given me any major problems; and was yet "running strong." I had my regular maintenance services performed religiously. I mean, this was the least I could do, because after all, the car took care of me. so, while in my hometown visiting family, I placed my car in the supposedly trusted care of the dealership to perform the tune up. well, the assistant service manager, frank olivieri, suggested that I also get a fuel injecting cleaning & a transmission fuel change ("the transmission fuel looks dark," he says). so, in the best interest of the car and upon his recommendations, I comply, spending about three hundred dollars.in the end, I could not get the car to my sister's place from the dealership before the transmission had failed. when I took the car back, to my surprise, the service manager, phillip hill, tells me that the transmission has died. his explanation further informs me that the transmission fuel change initiated the transmission failure, which was going to happen eventually. I rather it had happened eventually. so, did the mechanics see any concerns while performing the transmission service and neglected to inform me? better yet, why wasn't I warned of any possible repercussions or potentiality of such a tragedy? to top it off, the covering under the hood of the car had been burnt and the parts (around the motor) looked badly manipulated (it certainly didn't look like "my car"). and most disappointingly, they lied. the receipt states that I requested the transmission fuel change (unlike the other services) when in actually it was recommended.in the end, toyota of goldsboro "tore up" my car.

Ultimately and unfortunately, I share this to save anybody else my experience, because if I only would have known...

Toyota bad service

Good evening Mr(s):
More than be complainted, I just need help with, thats a reason of this.
After of to take chosen to buy a car of the firm Toyota and recommend my family, friends and acquaintances to choose the same by considering them cars of comfort, with low consumption of fuel, easy of drive, and confident in receiving a service to the height of its promocion of marketing.
All this concept change when one year before change me of direccion, and even paying my monthly payments with the new one direccion, they continus sending the correspondence to the previous one, causing that receive my mail out of date. One month ago my car begin to leak in great quantity under the cabin in the left side, I went me to request the service to fix my car, but the answer was that tapeworm a single I gave just only one day: Wednesday between 9:00am and 12:00am, for what i request permission in my work and gave to carry the car to repair, leave it in the Dealer until8.53am to 3:45pm went it to collect, after take delivered (supposedly fixed this defect)inside the car find the cabin backslider, call to whom me attended in service and the same one affably person put the cabin with his hands making presion, then upon arriving at my house and check the car, the carpet was completely full of water and it did not they change or they dried, all this happened the day:8/6/2008.
Today surrendly my carr got the same problem again and i shy to go at the same place to recive the same service again.Dont know if can find any person who give me a correct answer and solucion to my problem with the car.
I only hope that somebady give me orientation about find a solution, and maybe the Dealer could contract more AC tecnichians for a best service or find other alternative, be more carefully in the future.

Thanks in advance and have good evening.

Toyota bad service

Posted fuel Economy Information on vehicle does not even come close to millage Posted. 60 mpg city, 51mpg Highway. Highest ever had was 48 avg first few weeks, then drop to 46 to 44age after.In Nov 2007 drop to 38avg and then has (drop to 34avg.) Dealship say it is performing to OEM SPECS, Claimes they can not find any problems.This Auto only has 6517 mile on it.

As far as I am concern this is fraud by deception. I brought this Toyota PRIUS because of the fuel Economy. I knew to expect probably 5 miles avg less than what they post on the window of the car. I never dream in a thousand years that the Acture milage would drop to a avg of 15 miles below the lower end of the posted avg.

Toyota no investigation

This is regarding the EEOC Cleveland Field Office�s inability to investigate a claim properly and do the job of actually looking out for people like me that were blatantly discriminated against.

Here's a recap;

I told my employer Bob Fisher I was pregnant in July 06, whereby he told me I was a pain in the neck and that he already took a risk hiring me since I was honest in hiring that the only reason I had a year lapse in employment the previous year was because of cancer and chemo but that I have a free bill of health now.

Then July 12th I gave Mr. Fisher a letter from my doctor stating I was to go on bedrest and that I was a high risk pregnancy. Being after 15 years of marriage and already having an ovary removed the previous year I didn't won't to jeopardize the chance of loosing my possibly only one shot at a kid.

Sure enough in August he told me he no longer needed me� in essence letting me go so I told him I was letting the EEOC know of this.

So I sent a letter to the EEOC and they responded they would let me know when they started the investigation...

Then Premier Toyotas owner Bob Fisher retorted that I can come back only with a doctors release to return to work. I concurred letting him know my due date was October 24th.

As everyone knows you go for your two week check-up after the pregnancy in which I did� then I sent him the letter from my doctor that I could return to work via fax and I have the confirmation page to prove it.

Premier responded with a certified letter to come in for a meeting to discuss coming back.

Before I could even go to the meeting in November I got a letter from the EEOC that they saw no reason to further the investigation because I never went back for my job.

Not only do I have a letter to go to the meeting but I recorded it on tape to cover my ###� little good it did since to this day no one at the EEOC did anything to help.

Coincidentally at this meeting I was not offered my job back or a comparable one or even salary comparable but I was offered a car sales position in which case I had to sell 15 cars a month or I was fired� I have never sold anything so how was I expected to do such a position, it was a blatant job offer to get rid of me!

Then I had to go on welfare even though I sent copies of 24 weeks of paystubs with Premier because Premier Toyota only paid in for 15 of those weeks. Being a new dealership gets them off the hook I guess.

Maybe the EEOC thinks they did their job but I feel otherwise so no matter what proof you have it isn't enough if the agency your using doesn't do their job.

I'm too poor to sue Premier but itleast you know my story and will take heed in dealing with the EEOC and Premier Toyota of Amherst.

BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE! I took my lexus there for a simple repair (sensor). The guy that checked my car into service told me "Nice Car" they called me at home to tell me that the part would take a couple of days to get. I should have went back and got my car. It took ten days. When I went back to get my car the same guy that said nice car to me ten days earlier, looked at me with a smurk and walked away grinning and shaking his head. I stepped to the service counter and announced that I was there to pick up my Lexus. He handed me the keys and said we brought it to the side of the building. When I offered to pay he said go out and test drive it first (wierd) never had that happen before. I went out and my car wasnt there. I went back in and told him that he was mistaken. He said oh it must be in the back. They sent someone to retrieve it. The guy came back and whispered to the manager and they both left out. 15 minutes later they came in and annouced that they couldnt find my car. they wanted me to call the police, I insisted that they call the police instead. Of course they refused. I called and then went and filed a report and asked to speak with the owner but of course he was busy. I called for 3 days and could not speak with the owner and he wouldnt return my calls. I finally got the owners personal cell phone number from a friend and called him. He was upset that I called his personal number and demanded that I tell him who gave it to me. I refused and we then began to discuss the theft of my lexus. He refused to let me come back up there to show him which employee laughed at me when i came to pick my car up. He refused to pay for my car and told me that I should file it on my insurance. WOW! He then told me that I was being childish when I demanded that he replace or pay for my car. He offered to sell me a new car and after I refused He then told me to never step foot back into his dealership and never to call again and that he would sue me for slander if I told anyone this story! My car was recovered in Cleveland, NO BROKEN GLASS but Stripped to nothing...When my insurance co. called Premier toyota in AMHERST, Oh. to inquire about my car..the service manager responded "which stolen car" WHICH? sounds to me like this has happended before. my Insurance co. gave me a check for the value but I lost $11k in the deal because of the custom stereo, custom wheels, navigation, PS3 and 3 tvs that was in the car. I was depressed for a long time over my car, I bought that Lexus off the show room floor it was a rare Platnum edition. I could not believe how insensitive they were and I will always believe that This was an INSIDE JOB!

Toyota bad employer

I was employed at Premier Toyota of Amherst Ohio Feb 06-Aug 06 after. The dealership didn't open till May of that year but I was there before opening with a select few new employees to get it ready for opening. I worked there for over 24 weeks before I found out I was pregnant and it was high risk. I was put on maternity leave by my doctor with a note of possible misscarriage if I didn't get off my feet. The owner was not happy at all siting that I was already a risky hire... this said since I had made him aware at hiring the only reason I had a lapse in employment before employment with Premier Toyota was because I took a year off for cancer surgery and chemo. I'm very honest. Anyway when I was allowed by my physician to return to work I gave a doctors release to Premier Toyota and they had me come in but only offered me a car sales position... this to a graphic designer and former business development manager. Whatever happened to the promise of a comparable position like the EEOC promised. The EEOC investigated and Premier Toyota told them I never came back for my job? So they dropped there investigation at that. I have the meeting on tape too and the EEOC never asked for my evidence... the EEOC is my next complaint on this site what a joke they aren't looking out for the little guy. Then I went to get unemployment and couldn't becuase it turned out even though I have 24 weeks of paystubs... BOB FISHER the owner didn't start paying in to unemployment but 15 of those weeks. Screw the little guy. And he speaks of being there for the community. SO I had a newborn no job no income and had to go on welfare till I could get back in the workforce. Lost my car. He also kept my last bonus and never paid me the agreed salary he promised in his initial hire email to me. Always an excuse. I guess it goes to show you can't trust a car salesman... yes the owner was just a car salesman before.

I hate Premier Toyota and feel a little acid come up in my mouth everytime I see his commercial with his fake promises and cheerful demeanor knowing what an ### he truly is and what a lie he truly represents.

All statements in this are fact by me and I welcome anyone who wants to challenge them including the legal counsel of Premier Toyota. I save my letters from the doctor, the letter from Premier to go to the meeting about returning to work and I recorded the actual meeting. I might not can afford an attorney to sue them for loss of wages and blatantly discriminating against a pregnant woman but Most certainly will make my experience known to everyone I encounter!

It is because of Premier Toyota that I no longer purchase Toyota's! I purchased six of them from a very reputable dealer in the Cleveland area and took the last one to Premier for servicing only to be told I needed a rack an pinion at a cost of $1200.00. I told them to drop the car from the lift and took it to the dealer I bought it from. Their diagnosis of the problem was not the rack and pinion but a steering shaft that had several Toyota service bulletins assigned to it. After writing Toyota Motor Corp. and sending them documented proof of Premier's dishonest tactics I received a generic letter acknowledging they received my complaint. I took that as a way of saying they didn't want my business anymore and purchased a Ford Fusion. Every time I drive it I sing " I love what you did for me Toyota"!

They made promises to me as well, which were never kept. Bob Fisher (Robert L. Fisher) responded to my concerns, but not until after I had already quit. They kept expecting me to do more and more, to spend extra hours of my day working to bring in money for them. Yet when it came time to compensate me for this additional time and effort, no additional money was put on the table.

Furthermore, Bob felt it necessary to pass judgment and make personal attacks in a misguided effort to assert his authority. The kicker was when Mr. Fisher stated that my leaving had been recorded as "job abandonment, " clearly to spite me and defame my character as I continue to search for viable opportunities to better myself and my career.

Simply put, Premier's owner is a snake. There is no shortage of dealerships in the area to do business with, and I encourage you to reconsider buying or servicing a vehicle at Premier Toyota of Amherst.

Attorneys would take a claim like yours on a contingency basis. The only way they would not is if your case has no merit. Auto dealers are generally easy pickins in the court system. Have you even talk to an attorney? I hope your pregnancy went well. The best thing to do is suck it up and get on with your life and quit feeling sorry for yourself.

Good luck.

Toyota bad customer service

Worst customer service imaginable. Was asked to make offer on a used Chevy Avalanche. After making a reasonable offer based on other comparable vehicles, the manager comes over and states, "I only wanted to see if this was a real offer, " and not another word. Just walks away. The worthless, pos, obviously needs a lesson in customer service.

Toyota inferior quality

A heads up notice. I bought an o9 Camry. My dissatisfaction: when you open the drivers side front door. The piece that runs along the bottom of the open door---This metal piece is too thin. It makes a crumbly, crinkly noise as one gets in and out of the car. So, every time you get in the car you are reminded of inferior qualityThe dealer replaced the fastners, but tthe problem remains exactly the same.

Before you buy a new camry, open the door and press that metal piece. It could make a noise that you will not like..

Camry should do a recall and replace this piece as it is not at all up to Toyota quality. I am amazed that Toyota lets cars go out like this. Where is quality control?

Toyota they screwed me on a warranty issue

Right Toyota, of Scottsdale Arizona refused to cover under warranty a transfer case that failed on our '07 FJ on the assertion that it was towed, and therefore it voided the warranty. This, despite the fact that the drive shaft had always been disconnected during towing, and therefore towing could not have caused the transfer case failure. You cannot tow the FJ straight out of the box. You must use a drive shaft disconnect kit. Hundreds are being towed with that same kit, with no problem. We had no problem for over 10, 000 miles of towing! Shame on them!

But did you buy the truck and tire warranty from Right Toyota? No you didn't they don't sell tire warrantys. When I purchases my truck they told me that I could buy one at Discount tire which I did and it covers everything. So why voice your concerns about a dealer who has nothing to do with your issue?. What a ###!

I bought the 06 Tundra with the extended tire warranty. I had a tire go flat and took the truck to my local dealer around 2 PM and had to wait until after 5 PM to get it looked at. They said it had a side wall thorn and would have to be replaced. They didn't have a replacement and told me I would have to bring ti back Monday. They put the spare on and I left about 6:30 PM.

I went back Monday and it took them about 2 hrs to get the tire replaced and the charge was $178.00. I paid and they said I would have to send in for the warranty refund.
I got $75.00 back, spent 5 1/2 hours. I called the tire dealer just up the street from the dealer and they told me the same tire total cost mounted and balanced would cost me $105.00.

I got screwed by Toyota that sold me the truck with a worthless tire warranty. I will not forget how I was screwed next time the time comes for a new truck.

The 6 cyl. truck was advertised to get EPA 22 MPG. Most of the time I get 18 MPG. I got 16 to 17 MPG from my full sized Ford.

It is my understanding that the warranty is only honored at Right Toyota and all other Toyota servicing departments. I don't think Right Toyota is the one to blame here it is the manufactor that honors the warranty and they must have failed you caused the problem therefore voilding the warranty... You complaint should be with Toyota motor sales not the dealer they are just the one who had to deliver the bad news, They didn't make the car Toyota motor sales did so you should complain to them. Another thing is you FJ a 4X4 is so it is says right in the owners manual not to tow it because it will cause this issue. I know this because I own one and read up on this before I towed mine. I think you screwed up and are blaming it on someone else for them to pay for your mistake. Sorry ;) Now I guess you know to read your owners manual, know what you can and can't do and be a responsible owner. I love my FJ and I am going to safe guard it and you should too.

Toyota cheating and lying to sell a car

I recently purchased a Used 2005 Toyota Matrix from Findlay Toyota, and I am horribly appalled by the outright lies and misinformation I was given by the salesman. I feel I was bullied into purchasing a car I was not 100% sure I wanted and I was told every lie imaginable to get me to walk back into the dealership to make this purchase after I had originally said no.

I stated what payment terms I was comfortable with and after many rounds back and forth we could not come to an agreement so I left the dealership. Some of my main concerns were not overextending myself with payments I was not comfortable with and making sure I was driving off the lot with a vehicle that had a warranty.

The Salesman would not take no for an answer. He used ploys of lower cost of insurance (which is not true. My insurance is now more expensive since I traded in my Jeep), and extending my payments beyond my comfort zone of 60 months, so that I could afford this vehicle. He continually wanted me to overextend myself into a loan I was not comfortable with. I tried to explain to your salesman that the basis of good credit is being able to make payments and loan terms that do not overburden an individual. He would hear none of this and continued his barrage of reasons why I should purchase this vehicle.

Finally after I had put my foot down on the price, the salesman began using a new tactic. He knew the warranty had been an issue causing the payments to rise above what I was comfortable with and he knew that I would not purchase a used vehicle without a warranty. When I asked him originally about the remainder of the factory warranty, he assured me that the vehicle I was considering purchasing was still covered by at least a year of its original 36000 mile warranty.

The 3 year or 36000 mile term was blurred into just a 36000 mile warranty and he used the fact that the vehicle had only 26000 miles on it as his measuring stick. He told me I would still have 1 year or 10000 miles before the factory warranty expired. He told me of the reliability of Toyotas and if I really felt I needed an extended warranty, I could wait out the end of that warranty and purchase a Toyota extended warranty in a year when the 36000 mile warranty expired.

His last assurance and a deliberate lie about the warranty was the only reason I came back to the dealership. I did not want to overextend myself into a loan and if the salesman was correct I would be able to purchase a Toyota extended warranty down the road when my original expired, leaving me with the ability to purchase the vehicle that night with the payment terms I was comfortable with.

I was to find out this was all a lie after 2 hours of waiting at the dealership.

I asked the salesman what paperwork I would need to bring to the dealership to begin the finance process. He told me I wouldn't need to bring anything (this is an obvious lie as no one can ever get financing without proof of employment, bank statements, etc..). Another example of bold face lying and misinformation from the salesman.

As stated, I was made to wait at least 2 hours after arriving at the dealership before I was even seen by the finance department. I was introduced to the finance manager and he was the one to deliver the bad news about the warranty. Not only was the car out of its original factory 3yr/36000 mile warranty, but the Toyota extended warranty that the salesman assured me could be purchased anytime, was not a Toyota warranty at all. If I did not purchase a warranty that night, the car would be driven off the lot with no warranty. I did have the option of an after market warranty, but tge finance manager assured me that it would be a waste as it does not cover the same items that Toyota warranty would cover and I would be paying more out of pocket.

It was unclear if I was now being swindled by the finance manager too, but the fact was this car was not warranted as promised by the salesman. After all the paperwork was signed I was taken to the vehicle and sent home to await financing approval. The vehicle wasn't even filled with gas and the antenna wasn't on or in the vehicle at all. the salesman gave me a courtesy call a day later and when I informed him of this he told me the antenna must have been stolen and I could purchase another one from Findlay Toyota if I needed it.

I cant believe after all the lies and trickery, I am expected to purchase a part that should have been on the car the moment I drove it away. I wasn't even given a full tank of gas to go home in.

I am so unbelievably disappointed with my overall experience with Findlay Toyota. I feel I was bullied into purchasing this car and, the salesman used lies and trickery to get me to come back in after I had originally decided it was a bad Idea.

Toyota false statement by salesmen

On 06/13/2008, i went in to see a 2007 Toyota Camry SE. I was told it was fully loaded including a GPS, blue tooth, Jbl ound system. I loved the car but we could not work a deal on that day. I was called to come back at 9pm on 06/16/2008. I did not get to see the car since i seen and driven it already the previous date i was there. I signed paperwork, cosmetically as is. Sales person told me the car was beautiful and about all the neat features. Well i get home. The next day i try to use the navigation system and it is nonfunctional. There is a crack on the windshield and then we find out the sound system has been completely redone and the buttons on the steering wheel do not work. Also the navigation is after marker and not a TOYOTA STOCK as described and written down. Obviously when later i asked about this paper, they say this paper was not a legal binding paper and not in the deal. Well i went back on 06/18 to complain and i was told that the car was sold as is. This is supposed to be a certified toyota under warranty. The speakers did not work and were switched by prior owner. The ones on there do not work. Also when listening to normal radio, the signal goes in and out. I believe i was sold a used car under a bunch of lies. I was promised something and they did not deliver what was promised. I am now stuck with a $23k car that have electrical issues and the airbag on the side is showing and also a cracked windshield which i did not notice due to the nighttime in which i bought the car. Also it seems the car's whole dash was redone and everything was switched out. Nothing that would normally come with a stock toyota was there.

I only found out today I was dooped out of $2, 500 Dollars towards an extended warranty I purchased when I Purchased a new Toyota Matrix. I went back to the dealership & asked to have the $2.500 removed from the invoice because I did not want to pay finance charges on the extended warrany. So I paid an additional 2675 using my Discover Card. I called today to cancel the extended warranty & was informed that it was on the invoice & the lein holder would be notified. Toyota is an excellent car however the dealerships are fraudulent in ripping off the consumer. I will further pursue this matter.

Today is 14th of June & my car is still lying in their workshop without repair & GOD knows when this suffering will conclude. This has cost me a great deal of money & anger in addition to great change in family plans.

My new Camry 2008 J-68735) was banged from behind by a minibus when I was standing for a red signal! It went for repairs on 25th August 2008. There was very poor customer service offerred by AL futtaim bodyshop in Rashidiya, with no follow-ups to intimate me about the whereabouts of my car. Their bodyshop tel no 2856406/2855054 are funny as well as irritating to call. No body ever picks up.

After a whole 2 months and 10 days I got a call that my car was ready in the bodyshop. I went a couple od days later to pick it up only to find that it was not washed. The inside was full of dirt and the white body had very tiny brown spots, which I was told "will go in the car wash". When I took my car to the car wash I was adviced to send the car for rubbing and polishing which cost me AED 600/-. I called Al futtaim body shop to seek an explanation as to why the vehicle was mis-handeled and I was assured that the Bodyshop manager would return my call. I have no response till date. I have alreay sufferred a loss of AED 5000/- for renting a car for 2 1/2 months till the car was in the bodyshop.

I have only concluded that Al futtaim motors has lots of "big" businness and clients and they don't care for single-car owners like us. Their staffs have become thick-skinned and shameless and do not heed to any sort of complaint made against them.

If Al futtaim motors are incapable of handling the large amount of Toyota cars in UAE, they should end their monopoly in the market and allow other groups to handle the low budget cars. I hope Abdullah Hamad Al Futtaim and Omar Al Futtaim are listening!

Toyota fraudulent dealership

My daughter was buying a Corolla for $21000 and was told that she was approved for $0 down 2.9% for 60 months. She has a credit rating in the mid 700's with a 2% debt ratio. She had all of the papers signed and was taking delivery the next day since she was told that the vehicle had just rolled off the truck and was not checked in yet.

She shows up to the dealer the next day to pick up the vehicle and is then told that she isn't approved and she needs to give them $6700. How can you be approved one minute and then told the next day your not after all of the papers are signed; especially with financials like hers and she makes $30K a year with a government entity.

I told the finance manager that first the whole deal was just fraudulent and that a $6700 down on a $21K vehicle was beyond reproach. I also asked him since she had not taken delivery on the vehicle and she was still willing to agree to the terms she signed. Who at the dealership was going to honour the contract that he signed obligating the dealership to the same terms.

I would love to have an attorney explain "failure to perform" to him alone with the arbitration agreement that my daughter signed. Some things aren't worth fighting about since there is more than one Toyota dealer in Vegas. I do know that Desert Toyota won't be getting any of the family’s business ever again.

Toyota hostile manager

Manager John Angelo is very rude. He yelled at me and made a scene out of my own expense. We were asking for the down payment my sister made in the morning since we decided not to buy the car after seeing all the added costs they wrote on the financing papers. Moreover, I didn't like how they don't have the car yet and insisted that the MSRP is the price we pay. The manager was very hostile and started yelling at me out of nowhere. He made accusations and threatened to call the police to escort me if I don't leave in 2mins. What a jerk! My sister has to wait until Monday before she gets here $5K, of which $3K was paid in cash. "Nobody is here to open the safe, accounting went home already." What a load of cr*p. Do they put in their pockets then whatever money the customers give them "after their accountant has gone home?"

John Angelo and his minions have been making harassing and prank phone calls to my home for over 1 1/2 years. The Little Falls PD have spoken to them about it. I've turned them in to the FTC and have been keeping records of the calls. My husband and I have spoken to John Angelo directly and he is determined to push us to file harassment charge..so John, you got your wish. The Little Falls PD will be in touch with you soon.

Toyota Unauthorized credit check

I was informed by a Credit Card Company that I was denied credit because there was one too many inquiries made on my credit history

I later found out from TransUnion that Toyota South had made an inquiry on 03/28/2008, and this was unknown to me and without my permission.

I had received a flier from the Company that I had won a prize. When I visited I was told that I had to register before being able to receive the prize, which was said to be a Wal Mart gift card of an unspecified amount. During the registration process, I was offerred to purchase a car, which I promptly declined.They tried getting me to change my mind but I insisted that I was there to collect the prize. I was subsequently told that all the prizes were already distributed and none was available for me.

Some time later I found out that the Company had actually checked my credit while I was there to collect the prize.

I had since contacted the Company, and first there was a denial and when I mentioned the evidence from TransUnion, the official claimed that the registration process was their clue to check my credit.

I am seeking some form of satisfaction and for this Company to be sanctioned for their dishonesty and deception. They should also remove the inquiry from my credit history.

Toyota don't trust them

I agreed on a price for a new car with the salesman at Lustine Toyota, provided a deposit, and received a vin by email 2 days later.

The morning the car was delivered from the port several days later, the salesman called me and emailed me that the car was in and that it would be detailed to pick up that day. I agreed to come in that evening to pick it up.

Before I got there, Lustine management sold the car to someone else that I was told agreed to pay near MSRP. I think I know a contract when I see it. Based on this case and others I have seen here and on other posting internet sites, Lustine Toyota does not consistently recognize or honor agreements that are legal contracts and moral obligations.

Toyota free tank of gas scam

After I contacted the dealership on a Monday for a Honda Ridgeline, their phone rep Joaquin (Wakeem) called me EVERY DAY when I agreed to come on Thursday of that week. Wednesday's phone call was to tell me they have a special offer. Everyone that goes on a test drive gets a free tank of gas. I show up 2 hrs after talking to Wakeem (drove 1hr 20 min, they knew this). The car was sold! Then the sales guy (not Wakeem) says Wakeem isn't even a salesman and he's never heard of that promotion. I did see the car driven away by a family, but the dealership was reluctant to prove that it was sold. The sales guy never even told me his name. Obviously I was going to buy the truck if I drove that far w/ my 5 mo. pregnant wife and 3 years old. This ### wouldn't even tell me the interest rates when I told him we have tier I credit. STAY AWAY FROM ROUTE 22 TOYOTA, ROUTE 22 HONDA AS WELL THEY ARE OWNED BY THE SAME COMPANY.

Listen Route 22 Toyota, Route 22 Honda anything Route 22 is owned by the same company. They are crooks and feed off of desperate people. I went in to purchase a used vehcile (Izuzu Rodeo) Look at the car, the sales person could not get it started. He asked for help, they brought the jumper out to jump start the battery, turns out the alarm system has shut down the car. After the papers was signed, I waited 3 hours to get the vehicle ready and I was wondering why it's taking so long. Turns out the took out the alarm system and if I want it to be installed it would cost me an addition $200! Charging me for a sytem that was aready in the car.

A lot of people asked me if they should go to Route 22 aparantly they have been advertising, told them never to step foot into that place and I hope they get closed down due to the economy and everyone of them gets laid off! Hehe

OK, let me guess this straight. You see the car driven away and that's not proof enough. Why didn't you offer a deposit to hold the car over the phone? Don't you think they want to sell the car? I wouldn't tell you the customers name either with all the privacy laws and Do Not Call laws.
And you say Joaquin is a phone rep in your first sentence but yet you are surprised he is not a salesman. I would bet you got a rookie salesperson because in most stores if you ask for a manager they will know more about what is going on and go out of their way to help.
As far as the rate goes, did you ask one of the business managers because they could tell you.
And there is no reason to call the guy a ###. He's just trying to earn a living.

Toyota customer harrassment

We ordered a vehicle thru the USAA buying program which directed us to Fairfield Toyota and had many problems from the
start. First, we did not receive any calls back from the sales rep, but
when finally contacted, the experience was poor from the start, much the opposite to the USAA website that said it was fun and easy. The Sales
rep, Jackson Willingsby was disrepectful and provided little to no customer
service throughout the experience. I provided the sales rep with exact
specifications on my requirements for the sale and was continuously told
"too hard" "you're wrong", etc...not good customer relations...things not heard from a dealership that is in the business of selling vehicles to customers, especially in the current economic climate.

I felt from the start that the entire buying process switched both customer
and sales roles as I was doing most of the work, especially since the price
was pre-negotiated from the start (buying program supposed to make the
process easier).

After purchasing 6 vehicles in the past years, I have never seen or been
treated with such indignity or disrespect as my wife and I experienced by
the Sales Manager, Warren, The General Manager, Robert Armstrong, along
with other sales managers.

We went to the dealership after much prodding to the sales rep to meet our
timing to take off from work and children's schedules to contract and
pickup the vehicle.

Upon arriving at the dealership we waited for over 20 minutes to get the
process started and took the vehicle for a test drive. One of my
requirements was to not have any Fairfield Toyota advertising on the
vehicle and to not install a front license plate frame (as I am an active
duty military member with residency in Pennsylvania which only has 1 rear
plate).

This was not the case and once the dealer removed the front plate frame
there were multiple scratches and 2 holes from the installation.

This is where much of the trouble started. I then asked if it were
possible to buff the scratches and fill the holes with grommets to cover
them. The salesman, Jackson Willingsby then went on ranting about how he
couldn't sell me the car and how demanding I was. Nothing asked for above
was impossible or irrational. We never said we didn't want the vehicle.
We just wanted it as agreed to.

We then asked to speak with the general manager or someone in charge to
resolve the issue. We were escorted inside and sat for 30 minutes until my
wife and I proceeded to the sales manager's office to ask what was going
on?

We were then verbally attacked by all three persons in the room and my wife
was told "we were the rudest couple evert" and when asked why someone
hadn't contacted us in the past 30 minutes, told in a most negative manner
"only 30 minutes" after my wife explained we had to take one of our sons to
a scheduled event.

After speaking with Robert Armstrong via telephone, he told me the only way he could sell me the vehicle was if I told him that I would rip up the Toyota customer service survey or have positive remarks?I called Toyota Headquarters and confirmed this is not and should not be part of the sales discussion by the dealers to the customers.

While speaking on the phone, my wife was brought to tears after this verbal abuse by the Warren. We
then spoke with the general manager on the phone where Warren told him that
the words above were never exchanged.

In the end we left embarrassed, saddened, and disrespected from the
incident.

I would think in the current economy with slumping auto sales that this
particular dealership would tread people at the minimum with dignity,
respect, and in the end good customer service to stay in business and sell
vehicles.

Any help you can provide in getting the word out to fellow citizens on the
sales practices of Fairfield Toyota would be greatly appreciated.

On 3/16/08, I traded my 1999 Toyota Camry to Oldsmobile Alero. While I was in the dealership, they said they found a lender for me from Oregon. Since my credit is very bad and thinking to myself, this dealership is giving me chance. I drove the car off the lot and thinking everything was fine. About a month later, I had a problem with the car. I called the dealership, took it in. What they told me that a diesel gas was put in. I even reported this to my insurance company stated the same matter. How is that possible I told them. Then about 2 weeks later, my car will not start sometimes. The only way it would start if you put in neutral (it's an automatic car) until my car was taken away on 6/1/08 approximately 1:30 A.M. I called the police station to report that my car was taken away. No idea why.

The next day. I called the dealership and admitted that it was them who took the car because no lenders approved me after two months later. On that same day 6/2/08, I went to the dealership with my parents so I can take all of my belongings from the car they took. Per my conversation with one of the Financial Managers, he told me that he called me 13x and mailed certified letter, which is impossible. I told him I ONLY got a call from them 2x, in which I did return their call and left them a voice mail. But no return call and no certified letter. During our conversation, what he said in front of my parents that the check will be cut the next day. I went back the next day, no check was cut. I spoke w/one of the Sales Managers and told me that to call tomorrow and ask for another Sales Manager since he was going to be off that day. He said to call before noon, which I DID.

On 6/4/08, I called the dealership and actually spoke with that Sales Manager and the call was transferred to the Financial Managers. While talking to the Financial Manager to call him back with 30 minutes (12:00 P.M.) During our phone conversation, what he told me to come in the afternoon and the check will be cut. So, after work, I went back to the dealership, the check was not ready. The actually Finance Manager was there but would not faced me. So, I ended up talking to another Financial Managers, what he told that they had an audit that and everyone was busy and he (Financial Manager) was trying to call me... BS. Another excuses there. I told him that I am really tired of the run around, the commute, my time, etc. I also told you guys always it should be ready tomorrow, then tomorrow... During our conversation, what he said and promised that they will have someone or FED EX my check the next day to my work, in which I asked him to do that in writing. And I want to see if this going to happen.

The car that I traded in with got sold.

Wow. Exact same experience with Toyota of Lewisville, Texas Saturday 4/20/08. Lied to about price, berated, talked to like children, waited for 3 hours for an agreed to price over the phone. Filled out credit application on line but was told they could not retrieve the information and that I refused to give them information when asked. GM said he would call back but did not. Everyone that was involved has lied. The lack of integrity was amazing. My son left in tears and I was shocked. After buying 5 toyotas in the past this was a real eye opener and basically boiled down to them not believing that we would give an excellent rating on the survey. Even the finance manager was in on it. Very shady and unproffessional. After googling information it appears calling corporate will do nothing. Please be aware that Toyota of Lewisville in Texas is not a company of integrity. Toyota's policy of respect for people was wiped out on this day.
