chicagopnp Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Yes, granted it is a pretty car, but the biggest piece of crap ever produced by Toyota. After reading of several complaints on the UK’s forum, I stopped reading after 56. I decided to tell of my horror story. I purchased my 2004 Solora on October 21, 2003, and had 17 miles on it. While driving it home it started pulling to the left, and continually got worse, to the point to where it was a chore to keep it on the road. I contacted the dealer and they said to bring it back, which I did the next day. They stated that it was just out of alignment. They returned the car back to me, the very next day it started it again, and the tire pressure light came on I again took the car back to the dealer, which they aligned it again. Well again I took the car back to the dealer. Again stating that it was out of alignment but could not give a reason why it keeps happening. I then contacted the Toyota care line; they said the some new adjustments had just been published and that it needed to be returned to the dealer again, this time I took it to anther dealer. They claimed to fix it also, again however it stated pulling again. It has gotten so bad again that it is hard to keep it on the road, taking it a different dealer now 8 times (I think) for the same thing. But this dealer will not work on it until the tires are replaced, which he advised has warn because the car has not been properly aligned (hello, what do you think I’m trying to do). Don’t get me wrong this is my 6th Toyota so this is not a vengeance against Toyota. I was just wondering if anyone else here in the US having these issues?

fidgits Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I'm sorry to hear about that... In the UK, we have the 'sale of goods act 1979' which basically means if a product (including cars) is unsatisfactory, then you are entitled to a refund - the manufacturer can ask for a chance to fix it, but this does not effect your rights.. Im not sure about the law in the US, but if i was you, id push for a full refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtyrrell Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Yes, my Solara pulls to the left also. I had took it in after less than one month of ownership and they performed a TSB on it. Now a year later, it is pulling to the left again. My boyfriend had been noticing it about 6 months ago, but I didn't. I have registered my complaint again with Toyota abount the problem.
