I was ripped off during service, I would suggest to get written estimate when you drop the car, don't believe them that discount or coupons will be applied during payment. They gave me quote over the phone so I took my car for service, but after service when i went to pick up the car, the charged me totally different price and even refused to apply coupons printed from Jay Wolfe Website. I was told they have new management and sure looks like they don't care.

No wonder people don't go to dealers for service any more.

Many people think that Toyota is a good car model. But, I had a bad experience. As a owner of new 2006 Toyota Highlander (hyb_LTD), I had 5 times of incidences of the front windshield dents or crakes caused by flying stones within 3 months. I had contacted Toyota customer service and did not get an appropriate response. Subsequently, I experienced 3 more similar incidences within the past 8 months, which all caused more severe damages on the front windshield. Some cracks extended automatically to more than 8 to 12 inches after single attack by a small flying stone. I, then, again contacted Toyota Customer Experience Center, requesting investigation and resolution. After repeatedly inquiring, the staff member created a case number and agreed to have an inspection. However, the field inspector never came, instead, without an inspection; he simply told me by phone that all damages on windshield were not product-quality related, so he would not come. I kept trying to contact Toyota Customer Experience Center, but there was no chance that I could directly speak with the assigned case manager over the phone for the past more than 4 months.
For my safety, I changed the front windshield without any Toyota’s help. Although I continue driving the same way as usual, and had several flying stone incidences, I have never had any dent or crake, suggesting the quality of these two pieces of windshield seems different. I am very dissatisfactory about the way that Toyota treats customers and the quality of its original windshield.

I got the following e-mail. I would like to know if this a scam or not.

I am in the process of looking for another Tacoma pick up to replace my current one which is being bought back by Toyota for frames problems. I'm looking to purchase a 4x2 version for the gas savings. Toyota lists the traction controlstabilityy control option on both its web site and in the dealer brochure in the area. However I'm being told by the dealers that the stability control option is not available on trucks in this region of the country.

WHY? We have lots of snow and a traction control system would certainly help with winter driving. Why isn't it part of the standard package anyway? I know I can opt for a 4x4 but would prefer not to spend the extra money in gas or entail costs.

I have received an e-mail from an e-mail from Mr. Dominic Gerard, Lottery Manager, stating that I've won the Toyota Automobile Lottery with prizes of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS and a brand new Toyota brand car. The e-mail states:
