| Description of the problem | Bought this truck used with 8,000 miles on it. It came with a platinum extended warranty transferred from the previous owner. At 18,000 miles the seat was moving, popping and felt like springs were poking me. Sure enough, the seat frame had "worn out". Was replaced by dealer with factory warranty. 42,000 miles the seat issue is back, but different this time. The seat actually moves side to side and "clunks" when stopping and going or turning. Dealer says that this may not be covered under the platinum warranty. I will update this after i take it to the dealer this week. If i had wanted a hunk of junk, i would have bought a dodge! My 2000 tundra was bullet proof. This one.. Not so much. We'll find out how well toyota wants to take care of their customers. |
