In September 2012 I noticed there was a crack in the air intake. I took it down to Desert Toyota to have it looked at, the advisor said we would need to replace the whole air intake but not to worry it woul intake. I took it down to Desert Toyota to have it looked at, the advisor said we would need to replace the whole air intake but not to worry it would be covered under the warranty. When I went to pick up the vehicle they had informed me that when they ordered the part it was a later model but assured me that it would work for my vehicle. My vehicle is a 2007 FJ Cruiser and they put in a part meant for a 2009 model. 8 months later I had a check engine light come on. I made an appointment with Desert Toyota to have that looked at. Their fixed was to replace a sensor within the air intake. I said okay fine. Few days later the check engine light came on and I made another trip to Desert Toyota. Their fix this time " Oh, we didn't reset the error on the computer." I said okay thanks. Few days later check engine light come on once again. And once again went back to Desert Toyota. This time I was a little frustrated and told them to keep my vehicle until they got to the bottom of what is causing it. They had my vehicle for three days and they got in touch with some Field Technicians up in Phoenix. It came to the conclusion that the air intake installed in vehicle back in September was not compatible with the engine I had. Therefore their fix was to replace it with a stock air intake. They gave me price quotes, $1200 for a new one or $800 for refurbished one. I had stated to them that in September when it was replaced it was under warranty and it wasn't my fault that the wrong part was ordered. Had you guys ordered the right one to begin with I wouldn't be in this situation. Desert Toyota said "It worked this long, not our problem now." During this whole discussion not one apology was made nor did the Service Manager come out to speak with me. To me that is poor customer service. I wanted weeks to see if Desert Toyota would contact me so then I decided to call the corporate office of Toyota which is located in California. My case manager there was Milika Piittman. My first phone call to her was on July 29, 2013. Between her and Desert Toyota's Service Manager Brian Bradley their fix was to place a seal around the air intake. Milika had told me to contact Mr. Bradley for an appointment with his service department for the seal. I asked Milika "Are you sure I contact Brian Bradley?" She said "Yes, he will take care of you. I emailed Brian Bradley a week later just to give him extra time. I called Desert Toyota on August 16, 2013 as a response to his email. His response was "I didn't know Toyota contacted you and I haven't order parts because we are not sure if that's the fix we want to do. We are still discussing it." I told him I got a different story from my Case Manager. Brian Bradley then became rude and said that he wasn't sure what Corporate Toyota was doing. I told him about the seal and asked him when he was going to order it. Then it became personal for Brain Bradley. I told Mr. Bradley that I didn't appreciate being rudely spoken too and was just trying to get some answers. He ended the conversation with "I am not going to order any parts for you nor am I going to service your vehicle now or in the future." That same day I contacted Corporate Toyota and left numerous messages for Milika. Each time I called she was in a meeting or on another call. I left messages for supervisor Mr. Gibson and never received a call back. On August 28, 2013 I was really frustrated and I called every hour until she was available to speak to me. On the morning of August 29th she finally called back. She apologized and didn't know that Desert Toyota was not going to service me anymore. I told her I never had this bad of an experience with any business. I told her I didn't like how I was treated by Brian Bradley. Of course she still hadn't decided on a fix for my vehicle. I felt I was back at square one again. I told her that I didn't need her services anymore because I went ahead and got rid of the vehicle and bought another one (non Toyota). I told her that I loved my FJ Cruiser and would have bought another one but I swore to her that i would never buy another Toyota again nor would I ever step foot at a Toyota Dealership. I also own a 2012 Scion XB and the only near by service department is Desert Toyota. My Scion XB will never be serviced by anyone from Toyota. General Motors had failed me too and I guess I will add Toyota too. I think what upsets me the most is that Brain Bradley never got to service my FJ Cruiser and he got the last laugh. But I am a strong believe of karma. More

Joe was very informative about the Prius. I learned more in 15 minutes when we took the car for a spin than I ever had ( ie power mode, the B for braking ) with my previos experience Toyata Newburgh.
