Except I saw a Toyota tech post on this forum that they require the system to be returned to OEM for diagnostics. If they are concealing that fact from Toyota corporate, then it is NOT fraud on the part of the consumer, but on the part of the DEALER.


Its the same as a Police officer telling you to make a U-turn when no U-turn is allowed. Did you break the law or not?
