4th Gen. differential & seat issues
Still no fix from Toyota regarding my differential whine and loose drivers seat.
I am so tempted to cause damage to Johnston's Toyota in Middletown for missleading me on this purchase, and not wanting to fix my issues.
This dealer is a crook, and they have to pay.

So your solution for a minor problem is to vandalize a Toyota dealership, a lawsuit from the dealer could put you in debt for years if you got caught, even possible jail time.
Seriously how did they mislead you, when I bought mine I knew everything did not even drive it till I signed the papers and left, all I could hope for was some good Toyota quality and so far so good, do you expect them to drive each vehicle several hundred miles and check them over, their selling what they know which is usally based on past vehicle history.
If you want them to pay start a lemon law buy back, it's obvious you feel your truck has a defect in it, then buy a honda pilot and hope the engine does not cease

There techs, service managers and engineers all aknowledged the problems, but cannot fix. Arbitration refuses to get involved.

The best way to get back at the dealer is to stand outside their lot (on public property) with a big sign stating something about this dealer sold you a lemon, etc. Make sure whatever you write is the truth in case they try to sue you. You might also consider putting signs on your vehicle and driving around town and frequently past the dealership too. This will certainly get their attention. They always say that even bad press is good press. Well, not in this case. They aren't going to want their name associated with the term "lemon", that I can assure you.
Also, you might want to post something retracting your earlier posts about "hurting" the dealer or Toyota Corp. If one of those places were to burn down tonight, guess who they would come looking for? And you ain't hard to find! Good luck in your quest to get this problem resolved.

I'm also having mailers printed up and distributed in several NY and NJ news papers.
I never said anything about burning the dealership down. I will however hurt the dealership and Toyota financially by probing their customer database and interfere with the delivery of new vehicles at Johnstons Toyota.

I'm not suggesting that you said anything directly about what you were going to do, I'm just trying to keep you from getting yourself into trouble if something coincidentally would happen. Great job on the magnetic signs and ads. Good luck.

Indeed. The F250 4x4 diesel is not only more powerfull, but much more capable off-road, and far better built. It retains its value better.

My only question to you is that if Ford is so much better, why did you go with Toyota in the first place?

I have found numerous NHTSA complaints against Toyota on the 03 4Runner--and will use it against them.

There is a fine line between being pissed off and being stupid.
Don't be stupid. If this is not for you then take it the the Ford
board and get rid of your Runner.

Gimme a good deal and I'll take that "lemon" off your hands.
Don't get pissed at me when I drive by you stuck on the trail though.
I have yet to see so much foolishness all in one sentance.
