Did someone tell you no landcruisers would ever have problems?This is just unfortunate. It seems I was oversold on reliability, dependability and quality of LC 200.
Of that magnitude, yes.Did someone tell you no landcruisers would ever have problems?

Have you spoken to anyone above the service manager? I think some calm conversations with people higher up in the chain of command could be fruitful. There is nothing a user can do to an unmodified land cruiser that would cause that. And if you had a Kia or Hyundai this would be covered under warranty.

I’ll try to speak to someone higher up again..... but when I asked they wouldn’t transfer or give me anyone’s info. I found a way to dispute a claim , so am going to try that too with Corporate.
