Toyota Recall

maxiner

We were sold our Toyota from a Toyota dealership late in January.

Am reading reports in the Times that Toyota knew of this problem last Summer.

Would we have been mis-sold a defective product? If so, would there be potential to claim for this?

Wow the press really are trying to make something out of this none story....

The acelerator problem only happens if corrosion over years occurs and affects a tiny tiny tiny amount of cars, and there's a free fix.

The PIOUS braking issue is software based and only happens in a freak set of circumstances, there's a free software update to fix this.

So neither issue makes a new car unsafe, there's a free fix, so there's no grounds to reject it.

Toyota should also be comended for there fast and very public response to this issue, unlike some other manufacturers like renault who do everything they can to avoid recalls (Clio faulty bonet catches).

Assuming you car is affected by the recall, then the defect will be corrected free of charge. What else were you expecting? If it is 'compen-say-shun', then I would forget about it.

I agree, if there were more manufacturers like Toyota, the world would be a better place.

Take note:
Renault - Clio bonets - Scenic instrument panels
BMW - Weak alloy wheels
Mini - Power steering pumps

A common sense answer to a stupid question

I guess there will be a credit card fees reclaim company branching out and starting to put leaflets on Toyotas in supermarket car parks offering to represent you for a fee though.

Now where is the photocopier?
