So mad at Toyota I am having trouble typing!!!
So I got the official answer today from Toyota Corporate that they will not repair or replace the pathetic excuse for a tailgate that came on my 2007 Tundra!!!!! I know that there are over 850 posts in the other thread regarding this tailgate issue here in this forum and am completely disgusted with the response I got today after the area rep turned me down and I had to go to corporate with this issue.
I need help from my fellow Tundra owners that have had their tailgates fail, and am currently planning on starting poll that I can use to show Toyota how many people are affected by this. Toyota should be ashamed of themselves for their disgraceful and blatant denial of this unbelieveably enemicly designed tailgate.
How you can help me is simple.
If you have had a tailgate failure that they won't fix please email me at rpmgsxr@hotmail.com with "Toyota won't fix my tailgate" in the subject line.
If your tailgate failed and you had it fixed by Toyota email me at rpmgsxr@hotmail.com with "Toyota fixed my tailgate" in the subject line.
Any proof or pertinent subject matter can be added in the body of your email (details, invoices...).
TOYOTA IS NOT GOING TO GET AWAY WITH THIS DIGUSTING DENIAL OF POOR DESIGN AND WORSE... DIPLORABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Not if I can help it.
My plan is to gather as many names and as much proof (receipts from dealerships for replacement under warranty, pictures from Tundra Forum members, etc) as possible and take this to Toyota Corporate.
I bought this truck in good faith that it would act as a viable truck. A tailgate that fails because I roll sportbikes up a ramp occasionally is not anything proving this to be anything close to a viable truck.
Anything that you think will help my cause is greatly appreciated but I think the best argument for me is that the tailgate from what I understand was redesigned somewhere around April of 2008 production (anyone out there with proof of this??), and that many people have had their early producion model gates replaced already with no hassle. Why is Toyota picking and choosing who they replace these gates for?????
Look at the pics of my truck does it appear abused to you???
THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!
Please take the time to help me out as Toyota has turned their back on me and suggested that I start a litigation process with them. Is this neccessary????
NO WAY!!! I will spend as much time as necesary here or wherever gather proof of their negligence.
Here is a link to my YOUTUBE Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI4jO6NZGMo
Let's work together and show that when people work in groups we still can make a difference and maybe, just maybe, Toyota will own up and issue the damn TSB, or better yet, Recall, that they should have when this problem was first realized.
Thanks for your time,
Bob Murphy
