I have a 2001 Camry LE. Yes, its 11 yrs. old but it’s a Camry! You expect a lot from a Camry. I’ve had older and cheaper cars but never had a car when the driver door handle broke off. When It broke off, I realized its nothing but plastic!!!!! What genius at Toyota decided an essential part like a door handle which is used every time you drive your car, should be made of plastic?????? I now have to use a screw driver to wedge under the latch to open the door. The only other alternative is to get in on the passenger side and crawl over the gear box. Thats not a pretty sight or an easy feat for a 72 yr. old woman. I can’t afford to replace my door. I do know one thing – I’ll never buy another Toyota!!!!!!

My husband and I are probably Toyota’s biggest fans…that was until about a month ago. We have owned and been extremely happy with 6 out of the 7 different Toyota vehicles we have had. We recruited friends and family to purchase Toyota because “they stand behind their vehicles” that seems to be not the case anymore.
We purchasse a 2011 Toyota Sequoia Limited brand new in March of 2011. In February of 2012 my husband and 11 yr old daughter drove about 45 miles north to purchase cross country skiis for her. On their way back, they stopped at our cabin to check things out. My husband drove into the driveway and became stuck in about 6 inches of snow. He put the vehicle in 4wheel drive and proceeded to try and move the truck forward, it didn’t budge. He walked up to the cabin to grab a shovel and cleared away the snow from all tires. He got back in the truck and tried again to move the truck forward and then put it in reverse to try and move it back. He opened the truck door to look at see if the tires were spinning and he noticed the rear tires were not spinning. He put the truck in park, put it in 4 low and tried again. He couldn’t understand why it wasn’t moving so he called a neighbor who drove onto the property, drove a circle around our vehicle, and connected the two and pulled our Sequoia out to the main road. When my husband proceeded to head home, he put the truck in drive and noticed a grinding noise and it seemed to shift hard.
The next day my husband had to leave on a business trip for the week. He drove the truck to Wausau to have it serviced and to see what was going on with the transmission. He mentioned he would be gone for the week and hopefully they could resolve the issue while he was gone. When they called my husband to let him know that the transmission was blown and the differential, they immediately told my husband the warranty would not be covering this issue due to abuse. My husband asked what he did to cause the issue but the service mngr said he couldn’t see what caused the problem, but that it appeared to be abuse. My husband tried telling his story that he didn’t believe he did anything wrong to cause the problem and would like to know what he did? The service mngr again said he couldn’t say, but that it was abuse. We can not accept that, we did not abuse our vehicle.
We contacted the dearlership where we purchased the vehicle (not the dealership we brought the truck to) and they were even surprised that this dealership made these claims. We have contacted other dealerships and transmission specialists that can’t figure out how they came to this conclusion. Unfortunately we believe if we brought our Sequoia to the dealership where we purchased the vehicle, this probably wouldn’t have happened. On another note, we were in negotiations to trade in and purchase a 2012 Toyota Sequoia Limited and to purchase new each year we were cabable with the dealership we bought this vehicle from. We feel the dealer in Wausau we brought our Toyota to is bitter that we didn’t purchase from them, but they had put a foul taste in our mouth when we pursued the 2011 Sequoia and decided against using them as our dealer except for the maintenance.
We need help with this situation, we have tried calling, not Jim Lentz, but he will get called next. We are loyal Toyota buyers and want to be treated like one otherwise we feel we need to move on and honestly I don’t want to. Stand behind your vehicles Toyota, you have in the past and you need to continue in the future to maintain a strong company!!

Its been four days straight of leaving messages and go figure everyone is out of the office but will check messages and get back to you ASAP. I wonder what their definition of ASAP equals? Anyone else want to jump on my band wagon and have an official investigation? eashine16@gmail.com

Carmen, How did this work out for you? I am having a similiar issue with Toyota Peruzzi of Hatfield, Pa. Bought the platnium warranty for 100,000miles or 2014 year. Having a cylinder 4 misfire and now they want to tell me that they can’t truly diagnos the problem unless I allow the to take the entire engin apart to point of failure which maybe at my cost. Saying it could be the lack of oil or oil changes since it wasn’t done at their shop. My mechanic is very reliable. But obviously my warranty that Peruzzi pushed me into buing for $2000.00 is not reliable.

Dear President/Treasury Secretary/Larry Simmers,

This is a Humble and a reliable suggestion to bring our country back from recession and UMEMPLOYMENT rate.Economy is going bad day by day..It will keep continue like this until 2014 and get worse if we didn’t acts on it…I know you are trying ur best and I also know that there is nothing much any one ,any us citizens can do until we think out of shell.
There is always solution to this situation and I thought u will think in that direction when u became president. But no one even act on that..We all know that illegals are here in our country. BUT they are not the source of this situation..They didn’t contribute to any of these unemployment that is happening now..the SKilled Unemployment..It is caused by all the WORK VISA folks in our country from places like India and other parts of ASIA,where employers bring in cheap labour force in the name of Skilled Workers into our country and replace our citizens in Jobs. There are around 1-1.5 Million H1 Work Visa Holders in our country, Around 1.5 Million L1 Visa Holders and there spouse work freely in our country, SO 3 Million of those folks who work in our country and there are 3-4 Million EAD Holders in the process of getting Green Card.AND unlimited amount of B1 VISA folks.. All together there are 7 Million WORK VISA folks in our country taking US citizens JObs..And US citizens END up taking Unemployment Benifits..

We are NOT ASKING to cancel these visa immediately. BUT Increase those folks visa fees to $30-40K/ANNUM so only brightest and best people work here in those visa’s. So all these companies will bring in people by paying in premium if at all they are needed in this country(and companies are willing to do that if they think they are best and brightest and NOT CHEAPEST) and will end up Hiring American citizens..At the same time since our govt get 40K as visa fees and can be reused to train atleast 2 US citizens. 7-8 Million Folks that is 50% of our current unemployment.. THINK ABOUT IT Dear President AND POLITICANS. bringing these visa folks only 2 sets of people wins. First and foremost is the lawyers and attorneys as they process the visa and get there share of visa fees in consulting charges. second set of those who gain with those visa folks is cheap consulting business like Indian IT companies and American companies…ABOVE is the only Solution. Give also tax break to companies who hire only US citizens. I can tell u that if we propose this changes Now, and get it in action by December of this year, Buy June 2012 our unemployment rate will be down to 4-5%. IT is Guaranteed. We don’t want to stop offshoring..that will happen irrespective of any thing regulation..America and Europe became the great countries in the world Not because of IMPORT of Labor but by the HARD work of its own citizens.
