Nulification of Rear Sonar warranty
I just had the honor of paying $70.40 to the Salem, Oregon Toyota Dealership, for the priviledge of finding out that my backup sensors are not covered by warranty when they get mud on them from the inside of the bumper. Now let me figure this out! The bumper is on a four wheel drive designed for off road use and the rear bumper apparently doesn't seal the sensors off from mud or anything else, so the sensors are not covered if this happens. What did toyota think was going to happen to the rear bumper of their FJ's while off roading???? I guess if you have the sensors, be careful when you get off the pavement.
The sensors cost $125 ea. and I chose not to replace them. I told them not to put the rear bumper back on as I would do that myself. Well when I picked up the FJ the pumper was put back on and they charge me for it. The service manager, when I tried to reason with him, just shrugged his shoulders and pointed his finger at me and said he dosen't disagree with me completly but those are toyota's guidlines.
So beware all you mud collecting off roaders out there because this idiotic information was left out of the brochure.
I am putting this out so people will know whats going on before they have to put out any money.
