I have a Camry hybrid. 1st all if there is any amount of heavy rain, my floor board is soaking wet when I get in in the car the next day. Their responds, “I don't know what you are talking about" The remote key battery has to be changed every 6 months to a year. and if the key is NOT directly in my hand. I can not get in car. It's funny how my phone can find the Bluetooth when my phone is in the bottom of my purse, covered with tons of stuff yet this remote key can not open the car door unless it is in my hand. Their response, maybe not a good connection. If there is only a little frost on the car, you can forget about getting in the trunk or rolling down a window. I FREAKING HATE THIS CAR even more so because Toyota doesn't give a flying crap!

Bought an '06 Tacoma new. Off the showroom floor found a bent frame. Replaced with another Tacoma and had constant clutch problems from the start. Not enough space to list all of the problems (none ever covered by Toyota), but here is the total cost figure. Not including any maintenance costs, this truck has cost me over $9,140 in repairs - most should have been covered under warranty. The truck just blew a head gasket, so I donated it to a charity... Good riddance forever Toyota. Through the course of all of these problems, none of the 3 dealerships I visited, nor the the Corporate folks ever assisted me to fixing this overpriced, unreliable piece of junk. I have NEVER owned such a poorly designed vehicle where the company was unwilling to stand behind their product. A product that has had several recalls and TSBs assigned to it. Wow, it feels pretty good to no longer have this piece of junk in my life anymore...

i hate Toyota. my sister bought me highlander 2011 for my birthday and i was so excited to have it. that by the time i realized 2 months after it was too late to give it back and now I'm stock with these car. From the beginning the price was insane for the SUV it self $30k for 2011 and 40k miles in the SUV. then second when i was either driving in the highway the car will shake every time we have to break in top of that, the wheel makes a noise when you turn right or left. i have taking these car to the dealer service 3 or 4 times to get it check supposed to nothing is wrong by the alignment, they did it 2 times and still the same. Them they say it was the tires and change then and is nothing, stay the same. them the balance of the tires done twice and nothing works. i have try to trade by the only give half o what o owed them every time i go to the dealer. I HATE THESE TOYOTA AND TOYOTA DEALER. THESE IS ONLY BUSINESS. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER SERVICES.

I leased a 2016 toy Tacoma for 3 years contract had it for 1 year then a factory call back popped up. They have had it since may 9th when it called for a oil change. Well they kept the truck because of a factory callback. here it is June 16 and they don't even have the parts yet. NO parts untilLate June then I was told I am 12th on the list for parts. Now here is the kicker Toyota will only give out 2 as in TWO part per day to fix them. For that they lent me a new( car)damn I need a truck. You can not know how much money it has cost me because I haven't got a truck to use. SCREW TOYOTO Chevys from now on.

I am a disabled vet and Toyota new that used it and screwed me on my new 2015 tundra promised me a free extended warrenty but I ended up paying for it and they will not I repeat not refund credit or help me in any way they won't eben return an email or phone call. And then to top it off I get a flat tire and the warrenty company will not replace the tire with the same tire? They opt for a cheaper tire and now my 4 wheel drive is getting messed up by driving on 3 city tires and 1 off road tire and my spair is damaged by factory and all I getfro Toyota is its not my fault and here are some new tires to buy? I say iftoyota will screw's a vet they will screw america so america needs toscrew Toyota boycott Toyota !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To build the Sonic, both the union leaders and the company are taking risks.
---True of any product.
General Motors, despite the business logic that often lands small-car production in foreign locales with lower labor costs, put up $600 million to retool the plant in Orion, which it had shut down in November 2009.
--Ok, we're trying...
The United Auto Workers, meanwhile, agreed to much lower base wages. About 500 of the plant's 1,400 workers will make about half the typical union wage of $28 an hour.
Not everyone is happy.
---Would you be if you and almost half of your coworkers got your salary cut in half?
"It's just greed," said Greg Granberry, who worked at the GM plant until it closed and would be offered a new job at the lower wage. "It's corporate. At the same time they're doing this, they're asking the government to take the caps off of executive bonuses. Tell me what sense that makes."
---Correct, but the big guys don't care about that....
Even King, who supports the deal, questions whether the lower "entry-level" wage represents a long-term solution.
---Stop gap at best.
"I want all of our members to have a good middle-class income and to be able to buy the cars they're building," he said. "That's not true of someone making the entry level today."
---That's not happening when your salary is cut in half.
But without the deal, he noted, the Orion plant would have remained closed, leaving 1,500 potential jobs on the sidelines.
---"Don't like it? We'll build it elsewhere. Take it or leave it...."
"The 900 people making $28 at the plant wouldn't have a job at all," he said "It was a win for the community. It was win for the company. And it was a win for the UAW."
---Sure the UAW guy will say that. It was hardly a "victory".
'It has a snarl'
---Sure did.
In truth, however, the savings provided by the labor concessions are relatively small, and the fact that the union had to make concessions reflects just how tight those margins are.
---Hence, cheaply made parts, unfortunately.
It takes about 18 hours of labor to build a small car at a U.S. plant, according to industry figures.
The typical union wages, at about $57 an hour including the costs of pensions and health insurance, would add up to about $1,026 in labor costs per car.
---Far cry from $28 an hour and less...
With the union concessions, the average compensation in the plant comes down to just over $47 an hour. As a result, the labor cost per car would be $853.
---At what expense?
All in all, that's a savings of about $173 per car from the union concessions. By comparison, the Sonic is expected to sell in the same range as its competitors, which are built with cheaper labor in foreign plants and sell for about $15,000.
---Has it sold as much as its competitors?
"It's not just labor costs that we had to save on," Tremblay said. To make the Sonic profitable, the company had to drive down its costs from suppliers and find savings in engineering and materials.
---I.E., bottom barrel quality parts.
It was worth it, she said, because "we felt that if we can prove that we can do this. We thought we could prove that we could make anything in the U.S."
But making the Sonic cheaply is just one step in the project. The fate of the effort ultimately will be settled in the marketplace.
--That's with anything.
Again, you like your Sonic. I'm happy for you. I'm disappointed with mine, and if I didn't get GM to cover the car like they are, I'd be very, very angry and would have probably gone the legal route. My neighbors shake their heads when it goes to the dealer on a flat bed:
"Again?"
"Wasn't it just there?"
"Man, what a pain."
"I've seen that same tow truck here before...."
"Can't they buy it back, isn't it a lemon?"
etc, etc.
Like I said, another three years and then I'll likely be sending the Super Sonic to the sky......
