Dont think this is right.

Wife got a new Toyota a couple months ago. It has the lane warning alerts and stuff that a car doesn't need and we didn't ask for. Standard equipment now. She had to get the windshield replaced and now her dash is lit up like a Christmas tree because the sensors are in it. Its not covered under warrenty and the Toyota dealers want to charge 400 bucks to reset it.

Wow.

The company that replaces the windshield should reset that. They did on my wife's vehicle.

Try YouTube..might be easily done ?

I will when she gets back in town. She got the glass done in Dumas and they arent electricians and didn't know how to re set it. I just think its BS the dealer wont work with her. If I go their ill bet they would. Customer service should take over here.

So dealer is responsible for broken windshields now......didn’t know that.

Should have bought a ford

Good customer service is not want 400 bucks to reprogram sensors on a 6 week old car.

Common sense tells you to reset them yourself or have the company that installs a new windshield do it.

Should have paid Toyota to replace the windshield then instead of the cheapest window guy in town.

Probably. But shes on a tight schedule and Amarillo is an hour away. No ride or time for appointments.

Well..

Did you file it on your insurance?

Pity those fools if they come into TS for some seven dust and a new pair of Wranglers

Who did the work it in Dumas and how long is she there for?
I might know a couple people there, just saying?

Till the end of the week. Wont know who the shop was till i talk to her again. Thanks.

I would light some people up like a Christmas tree until this is taken care of properly

I loath car dealerships, especially Toyota—great vehicles, but the BS at the dealership infuriates me

When I had a Saturn, I was treated like royalty at the dealership, but Toyota will try to aggressively milk you for every penny

Why should the dealership or manufacturer pay for a fly by night glass companies screw up?

will your comprehensive car insurance pay for this?

500 bucks deductible. I get that, but 400 bucks to reprogram the sensors, im not.

If windshields were part of the warranty then it would have been fixed/replaced under warranty and the codes associated with that repair would have also been fixed. You’re trying to get them to fix something that is not covered by the warranty for free.

A rock chip shouldn't be a 900 dollar fix.

Yup. They didn’t break it and now they’re supposed to fix it???

“I replaced the screen on my day old iPhone and now it doesn’t work and Apple won’t fix it for free.”

Its not glass dummbass. Its the electric stuff associated with it.

You have got to be the most hostile uptight guy on this forum. As for your wife windshield problem up on the rearview mirror is the module for the adaptive cruise control. When the windshield is replaced it needs to be calibrated. Most competent glass shops have the ability to do this. Actually if their good they can replace the glass without having to do it. Second cause is the wrong windshield was used. Vehicles that have this feature use a windshield that is void of tint and UV in that area. Either way if your insurance paid to replace it call them. If it was out of pocket blame the company that replaced the glass.
Oh and lighten up. Your wrapped way too tight and seem to blame all your problems on the rest of the world. Accept responsibility and grow the frig up.

Well nimrod, there’s circuitry embedded in an iPhone screen. How do you think touch screen works?

My company car has that same [censored] on it, but the sensors aren't in the glass. There is a camera on each side of the rear view mirror.
Can you take it to another Toyota dealer, don't tell them that you had the glass replaced and have it fixed under warranty?

Put a tow package on my Wife's 2017 and my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Dealer charges $175 to hook the car up to a computer to enable the car to use trailer lights. No one else can do it. Jeez.

I

You say the word and I will boycott Apple. Alternatively, if you wanted to do some surgical boycotting, I would also agree to boycott the iPhone screen only.

Wait, weren't you the one complaining about customers or something at your job?


Something about keep your doors open late? Maybe you need to show a little customer service.

I take care of them. We shouldnt have to pay a grand for a chipped windshield.

Agree...... that is BS.

Well just who do you think should pay for it?

The government

$400 to reset alarms? WTH would they have charged to replace the windshield on a brand new vehicle? A good reason not to buy a Toyota. They trying to JAP you. In the words of the Big Tuna....."No offence intended".

I like this...we need more OT historians. People seem to think they can just let their willy fly and it will never swing around and smack them in their own face.

Hey look, our resident racist showed up.

No problem. I like Japanese stuff. Just not this.

My mother is Japanese.

Our resident internet tough guy showed up. $400 to reset or disable alarms on a brand new vehicle.

Or a different car dealer.

This isn’t the first time you’ve made racist comments on here.

mine works with a finger, what you usin?

It's love/hate relationship when that happens

Get help. You can drive your Tundra to the shrink. "Racists"..... Japan isn't a race moron. It is a country. And will be a cold day in hell when I purchase a vehicle from them.

Unreal

It’s regarded as an ethnic slur

when I changed tire size I went to a dealer to have the truck reprogramed for 34", cost 125.00 for 15 min. of a tech with a laptop and they had to program to 35s like come on the raptor.

shops charge by the hr. and while 400 is a rip off imo I don't know what they have to reprogam so it may take awhile?

I have a couple of Chevy's and a compact Hyundai for commuting. The South Koreans know what is up. Runs like a top and don't get ripped off if I have an issue. 34 MPG.

What does that have to do with making an ethnic slur?

He knows. He doesn’t care. Plus, he owns a Hyundai, so he can’t be racist.

They do..my family banks selling our stuff to them.

He also said that marines don’t rape and kill okinawans.

I love me some South Koreans. Japanese...... not so much. Study history. Same Ethnicity.

Apple toyota same thing

I was a history major, studied it a lot. Still not sure what you mean.

12. Racism of any kind will NOT be tolerated.

Textbook #12

Waist down?

Japan is one of our closest allies. Toyota makes a lot of cars in the US. It employs a lot of people in the US (and Texas, specifically).

We will see.

Kj is happy right now.

He’s spiraling.

On a side note, is it possible to turn off all that lane warning carp in the new Toyotas? I'm thinking about a 2020 4Runner, and those stupid warnings annoyed me in a rental Camry I had a few weeks ago,

Yup, just knock the window out.

F4B, are you aware that the Japanese love Neil Young, and he loves them, will you now go racist at your favorite Canadian?

I’ve figured out how to turn the lane warning off, but can’t for the life of me get the stupid radar thing to turn off. It’s annoying when using the cruise control and I can’t pass a car to the side of me because my Tundra (made in San Antonio by Americans) thinks I’m too close to the car in front of me.

I am


Lifes good and look what got started over some warning lights ..hell, ill just duck tape over them.

Its called deflection.

Hold the cruise "on" button for about 4 seconds when you turn the cruise on. Works on the wife's RAV (2016) and my new Camry.

Awesome. Thanks!

Yes thanks. If I do pull the trigger on one turning this stuff off is priority #1. That Camry was fun enough to drive, but the lane warnings were a beating (yes, I know I should drive better but I don't care)

Where? South Korea fought with the US. Japan? I would never own one. But Hey..... each to their own.

You ever thought about just letting your own dumb comment go, and not digging the hole even deeper?

Why do you hate Americans and Texans, their paychecks, our allies and global partnerships aimed at “the preservation and promotion of political and economic freedoms...”?

https://www.state.gov/u-s-relations-with-japan/

The U.S.-Japan Alliance is the cornerstone of U.S. security interests in Asia and is fundamental to regional stability and prosperity. The Alliance is based on shared vital interests and values, including: the maintenance of stability in the Indo-Pacific region: the preservation and promotion of political and economic freedoms; support for human rights and democratic institutions; and, the expansion of prosperity for the people of both countries and the international community as a whole.

The U.S.-Japan Alliance was strengthened in 2015 through the release of the revised U.S.-Japan Defense Guidelines, which provide for new and expanded forms of security-oriented cooperation. Japan provides bases as well as financial and material support to U.S. forward-deployed forces, which are essential for maintaining stability in the region. In January 2016 the United States and Japan signed a new five-year package of host nation support for U.S. forces in Japan. In December 2016, the United States returned a major portion of the Northern Training Area, nearly 10,000 acres, reducing the amount of land utilized by the United States on Okinawa by close to 20 percent.

Will you please issue your patented sign-off when you leave the site tonight?

Half the junk in your house is made in Japan.

Maybe the Japanese really abducted you know who during WW2 and not the Viet Cong in 64

This one is among the best.

Speak for yourself. And drive that Toyota with pride.

It's actually true, go take a look at random stuff in your house where it's manufactured and get back to us

I will, got 150,000 miles on it and running strong. Never got that out of any other vehicle.

My mother is not Japanese.

Allegedly.

She may have told you that, but have you taken a look at where she was manufactured? Get back to us on that.

Unbelievable! it’s amazing two jackwagons can convene all at once and cause such mess. Bunch of idiots!

Lol

This would probably depend on the Toyota dealership...the one I use does not.

I went to Japan once. It was nice. Lots of people. Lots of white people. I was like thinking "Hey, where the Japanese women at!?"

They all spoke some English and really got a kick out of trying it out on me. I guess they take English in High School like we take Spanish or French so they all seemed to know a bit. The toilets were very strange. Like a trench in the ground you kind of squat over then the water would run through when you flushed. A LOT Of people wore like surgical masks like Micheal Jackson. I was told if you have a cough or cold its rude not to wear one. They DO have a fascination with very odd porn. There are lots of tiny bars in alley ways. I mean bars that hold like 8 people crammed in. The thing seems to be going from tiny bar to to tiny bar. This was 15 years ago so not sure what the exchange rate is now but the Yen was really strong so it was not cheap. I kept doing the math in my head to convert dollars to yen when buying something and it was ticking me off. They love baseball. I was wearing a Dodgers hat and that was a big ice breaker. They all know the Dodgers and want to talk baseball. Kind of cool.

I would like to go back. We were only there for 2.5 days and did not get out of Tokyo. Seems like a cool place to visit and explore for a week or so.

Thats my book report on Japan. Thanks for reading. I hope I get an A!

My Tundra has a button on the steering wheel to turn off the lane departure and the radar (2019).

I don't think it's fair to talk about coyote and 1shot that way.

Scag's.....I don't think you are a dummbass.

Why are women's naughty bits blurred in some Japanese porn?

It is but he's just old and stupid. Maybe a WWII vet or something.

Yes, let's hear some theories on this.

Well, I believe that porn is illegal in Japan.

Well coming from you, that means a lot.

I find it hard to believe this went unnoticed. Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't you the guy who is a kept man?

Really? I always thought fish4bass was a millennial.

It’s ok. I’m numb to the insults. I wish I wasn’t. It would be nice to feel something. Anything at all.

Yeah not sure about why that is. I did not ask when I was there. Next time I will.

Total greatness!! Thread of the week!!

You should stick to your domestic duties, and let your wife handle the man chores from now on.

No, he is way up there on the old tree.

Millennials have more maturity than F4B.
Just sayin.

Sames

Yep, no nuthugging here

They have decency laws there and at least some parts have to be blurred. It is rarely enforced. According to Wikipedia, the last time it was enforced was 2004 and the director got fined $5,000 and the studio was fined $15,000 (I think that’s what I read earlier).

It must not apply to their XXX rated comic books.

I have seen plenty of Japanese porn. Yes, they do fuzzy out certain things, but I don't believe it's illegal. At least I hope not! Maybe it's the Chinese manufacturing machine at work and they are producing low cost porn and passing it off as Japanese porn.

Women dressed as schoolgirls seems to be a common theme in Japanese porn. There are some depraved people over there.

the girls threw themselves at michael jackson.

I feel as though I'm not as knowledgeable on Japanese porn as I should be.

You should probably start with mukbang.

Its not really blurred, its quantum physics applied to their porn to keep gaijin from looking at their wimmins naughty bits. To get around their high tech barrier, Dr.Quantum says you've gotta use a low tech solution and basically just squint your eyes like 2 slits

I bet Michael pooted on a barbie doll or three.

Didn’t “2 Girls, 1 Cup” use Japanese female thespians for the role of Girl 1 and Girl 2?

Hmmm ..I thought with age comes wisdom...oh well

I thought millennial as well...

I work for 2 of em, not so sure your theory is valid.

Do you not know mort?!

never heard of mort

The bar is set pretty low.
