I know, but the dealer is prone to doing it all of the time. They will do everything in their power to avoid any type of warranty work. They'll even lie about things (and get other dealers to follow along) just to avoid shelling out any kind of money.

The pulleys are one of those grey area parts. They can go bad from abuse or just driving through a wet road. The dealer will almost always say abuse though.

Since when does a dealer pay for warranty work? Isn't Toyota is ultimately billed for any normal warranty work (or the insurance company if you have some extended aftermarkt plan). I would think Warranty work is good for both the customer (who gets the work done for free), the dealer (who keeps his tech's employed), and the local economy (for the influx of money from outside the area).
