Tail lights fogging up?? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

v3rgil · 02-12-2013, 01:07 AM

ok, so yesterday we had quite a bit of rain and my driver-side tail light fogged up completely,
drove up to my dealer, he had one look and ordered a new one straight away (under warranty) he also had a look at the door window rubber wear and said he'll take it up with TSA as the amount of wear is unusual at 6 months.

Yep, had the same problem before I got mine replaced.

Have you been to Toyota to have them replaced under warranty?

@ V3rgil: Nope not yet, I was going to wait until 1st service and then give them a list.

@ DBacon1052: Bummer about the replacement fogging up too!

Toyota SA is just useless. I've been waiting for my tail lights to be replaced since December 2012 when I logged a complaint with McCarthy Centurion. Eventualy no one from McCarthy Centurion was getting back to me. I then logged a complaint with Toyota SA two weeks ago. I received an sms from them but to this date no one has contacted me back.

Does anyone have any contact details to complain to TSA - someone in higher management as this is now ridiculous.

This is their customer care email (ccc@tsb.toyota.co.za)
I sent them a query with regards to the Aero kit and they said they're not bringing it to SA.

Mine been through numerous car washes and heavy rain and no issues - touch wood...

My left hand side does mist up from time to time. As soon as my baby is fixed, I will make Toyota fix it...

Just went and checked after reading this thread. Especially with all the rain. Everything seems 100s, hopefully stays that way.
