so what makes anyone think that a new frs is going to be any different than the bad one you just turned in?

seems you are just fooling yourselves.

the same problem could just as easily happen a few miles down the road

I'm hoping that my experience with the dealership is as good as OP's.

I'm seeing the GM of my dealership on Tuesday. I will walk out with a brand new car or with my money back that same day or I won't leave at all.

They've been nice people so far, actually, but I'm sick of the whole experience.

You are correct, but I absolutely love the car, and the impression I get (not verified) is that less than 25% of cars are affected by the problem.

Also, I'm pretty certain that the repair process will get more efficient (and faster) as Toyoburu figure out the issues, put out the appropriate TSBs or recall notices, and back off enough on production to ensure that parts get to the US. If I get a week or two out before the problem returns, I think the process will be at least somewhat more routinized.

And then there's the roll of the dice - maybe this one will be be one of the lucky ones?
