Toyota Support of Customer Support Bulletin After Expiry?

Yes very disappointed in Toyoda over this model. These newer models are. Certainly throw aways . Like all the rest these days.

 

I recently had the same problem. My 2012 Prius recently had multiple warning lights on regarding the brake booster and brake booster pump assemblies. I found a Customer Support Bulletin #POL18-03 dated 8/9/2018. While my car has all of the issues listed in the bulletin, it falls outside of the Customer Support Date of 8/31/2019. My car also does not fit into the date of first use (2012) availability but only has 127,000 miles. I called corporate with no luck. The repair was quoted at approximately $4000.00 (yikes). I am still looking for any supporting documents to have them pay part of the cost. I did have my Toyota serviced at the dealer including recent big-ticket items like 110,000 service. Are they still liable if they were supposed to check it and did not?

 

There's no check they can do while it's sitting there at the dealer service especially if no lights are on and no codes are coming It's a non-dealer serviceable item non-human serviceable item there's nothing I don't think that Toyota software will tell you and a Toyota tech certainly is not going to do any better It's just how these things work this is why the later model cars have built this outboard set it on the firewall and it's you know under $200 to buy them rebuilt Just look at the Corolla My Suzuki's the same way I can get a replacement ABS whole shebang for sub $200 yeah that's remanufactured but I don't care I just need it to work and not cost $1,500 these prices of 1500 bucks is what I was paying for those things back in the '90s for BMWs and whatnot and BMW and those makers have gone to the less expensive design and style that you see on most vehicles now because people aren't just going for that $1,500 ABS assembly that's kind of played out.

 

Iirc, once Toyota extends a warranty period, they refuse all help after the extended period ends,
I suppose you can’t blame them, but it is disappointing that they designed a poor product to begin with.
I guess the question is, how long should they cover it?

 

Sadly, the ten-year limit and 150,000 mile limit are independent; the coverage ends at the first one.

Recalls, though, tend to be reserved for things that are really defective, that have some reason they might conk out right away or in some crazy short time. A part that wears out over a dozen years and 127,000 miles is on the disappointing side, and probably in the left-hand half of the bell curve for those parts wearing out, but it's a little harder by then to make the case it was a defect, and not just a part wearing out.

 

i thinkthe disappointment is the replacement cost

 

I think every manufacture should warranty EVERYTHING on the car for 50 years!
Unlimited mileage!
It should be a law!
