| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We purchased a toyota tacoma with extended warranty from toyota of easley in august of 2000. when the truck had about 12000 miles on it, the front tires were wearing irregularly. i called the toyota dealership and they said that the front end needed alignment so i took it back to them to do so. since the front tires by then were worn pretty badly, i asked them to rotate the tires. they would not rotate the tires under warranty, so i paid them to rotate the tires. they didn't even want to talk about replacing the worn tires. after about another 12000 miles, the front tires have worn the same way again. i called the dealership and they said to bring it in. i told them that aligning the front end did not fix it before and after arguing with them for some time, they told me they would contact technical service and see what might be causing the problem. they were supposed to call me back and let me know what they were going to do to fix the problem. they have not called. it's been about a week and a half. i have called them several times since then and each time was told they haven't heard anything from technical service yet. i called two days ago and the service manager told me again, that he would call me back. i have called several times since then and each time, i have been told that he was out doing a test drive. i have left my name and number and asked that he return my call and as of yet he has not called me back. i presently have a truck that is a year old and has excessive wear on all four tires now and have front end problems that i am unable to get the dealership to do anything about. can you offer any suggestions? thank you. david loftis. *ak |
