I bought a Highlander in November of 2022.
Lie 1: After I paid, the dealership informed me a second key wasn’t available , but I would get it “in 2-3 months.”
Lie 2: In October I called Toyota corporate customer service (not the dealership) and they told me I “should get a letter later this year”.
Lie 3: I called Toyota again and tried to nail down a more specific date and the person said “the letter will arrive later this month”. (Still October)
Lie 4: October goes by, still no letter. So in early November, I called Toyota again and they said I’d get a letter “later this month”. I told him that’s exactly what the last guy told me, and asked him to escalate my case.
Lie 5: I got a voicemail from the escalation person apologizing, and telling me that I was scheduled to get a letter “later this month”.
I called that number back and said I needed something more specific than “later this month” or “later this year”. He put me on hold for a while, came back and said ”Oh, your vehicle was supposed to be in phase 2. You should have gotten a letter months ago, but it looks like for some reason we didn’t send it to you.”
Seriously? What would have happened if I hadn’t called them repeatedly??
Toyota customer service is embarrassingly bad.
What my friend did when they only gave him one key fob with his new 2022 Camry is he got the warranty for the key fob, then three months later he claimed it lost or damaged under the key fob warranty and they have him a new key fob in less than a week.
