Definitely. The service department at the dealer I bought my Venza from refused to honor the part of the deal that included installing the BluLogic, so I ended up taking it to my Tundra dealer.
My Venza dealer also gave up fixing part of the dash (on the Venza) that is out of alignment. Took that one to the Tundra dealer, and they couldn't fix it either. BUT, the Tundra dealer was willing to work on it and we currently have an unresolved case with Toyota. I have seen at least one other new Venza with the same dash problem. Might be awhile, but I am sure a fix will be forthcoming. That's the chance you take with a new model.
My gripe is not about fixing what even Toyota doesn't have a fix for yet. My complaint is that one dealer refuses to honor commitments from their sales dept and refuses to try to fix obvious defects. Guess which dealer will be getting all my business? The Tundra dealer, which is listed in "My Garage." PM if you are local and want to know who my Venza dealer is so you can avoid their service dept too. BTW, I am very happy with the sales side of the Venza dealer, but their service sucks.

07 DC SR5 TRD 4x4 5.7 TRD exhaust, 46K miles, 17 mpg city after battery disconnect reset. Truxedo Lo-Pro with deck rails. Front Susp: Stock coilovers, 4" lift ( http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...6-4-inch-lift/), swapped extra spacers for Bilstein 5100s on lowest setting, wheel well height still 41.5." Rear Susp: ProComp ES3000 #326510 (2.25" taller than stock), 1.25" blocks plus PRG mini-pack ( http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...and-new-truck/) gives 2.25" total lift, parking brake cable bracket spacers, wheel well height 43." Front diff and rear ds drop; trailer hitch electrical harness tucked up above bumper. After 20K miles swapped 305/65/18 BFG AT for 285/75/18 Toyo AT, still on stock 18x8x60 offset TRD wheels, about 1/8" clearance to sway bar. Like the extra height but miss the width. Next time either 305/70/, 295/70, or 35x12.50/18. Added 5th 285/75/18 Toyo AT as spare. Bed Bounce: Stiffer E-tires are worse than stock P-metric; biggest improvement from PRG mini-pack, slight improvement from shocks. Still a stiff ride but tolerable now. Best things about this truck: 5.7 and transmission, interior size and comfort, very quiet at high speed. Worst things about this truck: bed bounce, no VSC in 4wd, mileage sucks above 70.
