Dealers that is, Just had a phone call from a mate that's totally p@#@#@ off with a Toyo dealer that sold him a landcruiser 100s about a 18mths ago. The vehicle had 230,000ks on it and they replaced the timing belt before putting it on the lot for sale.
Now that's a fair bit over as 150,000 is the belt change interval, but at least they recognised that. The vehicle has performed with out a glitch for the last 60,000ks and has been doing a lot of caravan towing , until yesterday when it came to a sudden stop on the highway . The timing belt broke due to a tensioner failure causing mass destruction internally of the(1HDFTE).....It appears they just wacked a belt on it and left the rest of the hardware!....Very poor effort from a Toyota dealer here I feel.
Axle above is what you originally posted, and yes you did bag out the dealer, your other post above proves you did so without all the facts.
One of the facts you missed with your premature post was that they ( the dealer ) accepted liability.
The other is that they are willing to repair the car.
Now that you have all the facts and had you waited to see the outcome, your original post may have been very different to the one you posted.
Just sayin.
As for the Colorado issue I have no comment.
