Hi, took 2021 4runner in for #3 service few weeks ago. Although the people at toyota are very nice, $1500.00 plus later everything is breaking down. I am in staying in BC where it rains almost none stop. But even so, I don't feel I should be having all these issues in a vehicle only 3 yrs old not even 50k on it.
Every time you take a toyota in, there is labor and diagnostic costs. 2 hrs is over $300.00, parts are also exesseivley priced. After the #3 service, they had to replace something in the door because headlights wouldn't turn off. Prior to service things were fine.
Today the issue is doors staying locked after locking them? Again, Everything was fine until after they replaced the thing in the door that was messing with headlights. They were kind and only charged $122.00 and then inspected the tubes for the drain from sunroof for free. However, the locking system is not functioning and they gave me a new battery for one fob for free. I'm concerned. Over $1700.00 so far and each time something breaks down after a service and now out of cash. I don't want to accuse anyone of anything, but.... Is it possible mechanics are tampering for more business? Out of cash and toyota wants to write everything off to wear and tear and really doesn't warranty their products well unless you purchase their new extended warranty? This is all very concerning as their vehicles used to last for years without issue. I am not tech savvy and have no mechanical skills. Can anyone advise what the issue may be after every service something going wrong? Thanks in advance from Nanaimo.
