Angry Re: Front Diff Seals leaking again

[EDIT 042208] This is the part when I'm all pissed off [/EDIT]

[02-28-08]The dealer told me that Toyota said we won't cover it because you have after market suspension. They wouldn't even take it apart to inspect the seal or the half shaft.

I told them this was unacceptable and that they would have to prove that my suspension is causing the front diff seal to leak. I mentioned the Magnusen Moss Act. Dealer told me they would call me back (this all happened yesterday on 2-28-08) after I told them this was unacceptable. They called me back as promised and then said that some sort of rep would now be coming out to look at my vehicle. I told them they better look at the problem area instead of trying to get me to roll over. I'm awaiting info from the "specialist". How could I be the only person to have this problem twice?!? As you all are well aware of there are hundreds of lifted FJs including Dealer sold FJs out there that are not experiencing this problem. There is obviously something wrong with my diff or the half shaft that is causing the problem! Furthermore, the first time I took my vehicle in for this same problem the Toyota TECH said "your lift is not the reason for this problem" Also, my service adviser informed me that they have had some stock FJs come in with the same problem I'm experiencing.

Toyota is marketing this FJ as an Offroad vehicle and has the Trail Teams going around the country with lifted (spacer lifts) FJs saying look what it can do. Not to mention all the OFFROAD coverage on the website for this vehicle. They are selling fully lifted FJs with full warranties too. STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT OR QUIT FALSELY ADVERTISING THE CAPABILITIES OF THIS VEHICLE!!!

I'm awaiting information from the "specialist" and the fate of my Toyota. Hopefully this will all be taken care of and the problem will be discovered. If not [EDIT][PISSEDOFTALK]Arbitration will happen[/PISSEDOFTALK][/EDIT].
