Ok so here we go, the follow up..


If you do go to the track, even with an instructor in a driver school (everyone who hasn't been and drives this car on the street DD is silly, are we 18?) make sure you put your car as close to 100% back to stock as possible.

The service manager judged the tires and brakes and stickers and took that to say the clutch was "abused". I drove my 2009 Mazda Speed3 the SAME as a drive this car and that clutch made it to 95,000 without BREAKING IN HALF.

I talked to another dealer who said since the clutch that I had left wasn't worn down, the flywheel was OK, and that it wasn't slipping then it wasn't wear and tear.

It was obviously a subjective situation....racetrack, HPDE, racing? not racing? warranty? etc. Point is protect yourself because Toyota provides no help at all. I called them and they said they would do their "research". They called the dealer and the rep and then told me they go with what the rep said and I was SOL.

I told them I did not feel that I was being treated fairly by the dealer and the rep. I told them since the dealer wouldn't show me the email stating the warranty was denied that I had no proof the dealer wasn't "double dipping". Furthermore, I was not allowed to talk to the rep myself. I was forced to have someone else (A**H*** service manager) represent me.......

I asked if there was anyone else I could talk to and they said no. I said then why does it say I can move to arbitration in my owner's manual? They said I had to say that for it to be an option....



Even driving at 80MPH>>> a shift is a shift. The clutch should not have BROKEN IN HALF on me. Even if you don't believe that this wasn't driver error, (it really, really wasn't) how is the TRACK involved???


Had to pay $1100 parts and labor to get my car back...

Why didn't they tell me they weren't going to cover because of stickers and brake pads BEFORE they dropped the transmission and exhaust out of the car to check the clutch???HMMMMM
