Vehicle still had three years left from warranty, and three attempted fixes has not worked (I've not been out of pocket thankfully due to the warranty)?
Are there any protocols if the vehicle cannot be fixed?
Vehicle was bought 1 year used with 10k miles, and it is the Toyota manufactures extended warranty.

A lot of fans live in a bubble, so you are welcome. Between multiple football scandals (including sexual assaults accusations against a former assistant coach), basketball scandals, hockey - and woman's water polo, Michigan still maintains there wasn't - and isn't - a widespread culture issue in it's athletic department.
Wall Street Journal: Michigan Left Out Key Details on Probe Into Its Athletic Department Details unearthed in a law-firm investigation into a fired coach and the school’s athletic culture weren’t shared with the public
https://www.wsj.com/sports/football/michigan-investigation-athletic-department-3cae9bfd?st=MgaYNP
An investigation commissioned by the University of Michigan following the firing of football coach Sherrone Moore highlighted problems inside the athletic department that went far beyond his intimate relationship with a staff member.
Jenner & Block, the law firm Michigan hired late last year to investigate Moore and the broader culture inside the athletic department, called out the handling of controversies surrounding the previous football coach, Jim Harbaugh, and former men’s basketball coach Juwan Howard in documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The law firm laid out a series of potential red flags about Moore, and outlined problems in Michigan’s athletic department in other sports, including previously unreported issues with a water polo coach.
Those findings contrast with what the university said in a recently released summary of the investigation. Michigan said that the law firm had not found widespread misconduct in athletics, and didn’t detail issues within other sports.
The school released its summary after university officials viewed a slideshow with detailed findings prepared by the firm. That slideshow, reviewed by the Journal, hasn’t been released. Michigan paid the firm $12 million for the investigation.
A Michigan spokesman said the school was focused on implementing recommendations stemming from the investigation and declined to comment on the substance of confidential interviews. “The university has publicly shared the principal findings, recommendations and actions resulting from those reviews,” the spokesman said.
In 2023, Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel and other officials began receiving complaints about “abusive, unprofessional behavior” by women’s water polo coach Cassie Churnside, the law firm found.
In 2024, parents complained, and the next year, two internal complaints were filed with a university office, according to the firm. Manuel’s deputy sent Churnside at least two formal warning letters, and Manuel himself was notified that Churnside disregarded trainers’ medical advice, the firm said.
This past March, a Michigan news release said that Churnside had resigned.
“While there are improvements to be made, Warde consistently and appropriately engaged and shared information with professionals in the athletic department and within the university, including his supervisors and the Board of Regents,” said Matthew Schenk, Manuel’s lawyer.
The law firm highlighted the school’s response to the behavior of then-men’s basketball coach Juwan Howard. The member of Michigan’s famous 1990s Fab Five recruiting class came on as head coach in 2019 and led the team to the 2021 Big Ten regular-season title. But in February 2022, Howard struck a Wisconsin assistant coach in a postgame confrontation.
It was a shocking moment caught on live television. At the time, the Big Ten and Manuel jointly suspended Howard for the rest of the regular season, five games, and fined him $40,000. The law firm’s slideshow labeled the incident “One Free Punch.”
On Dec. 7, 2023, Howard was involved in another incident: a verbal altercation with another coach, the law firm noted. The school didn’t let Howard go until March 2024, after his team finished the season 8-24.
Through a spokesman, Howard declined to comment.
In football, the law firm noted warning signs that stretched across two coaching regimes. Under Jim Harbaugh, who led the Wolverines to the 2023 national championship, Michigan was involved in a massive sign-stealing scandal and recruiting violations.
“Harbaugh ran a program that was largely dismissive of rules compliance,” the law firm quoted from an August 2025 NCAA infractions report. Harbaugh has said he had no knowledge of any sign-stealing. He didn’t respond to requests for comment through a spokesman.
But Michigan football’s problems didn’t stop when Harbaugh left after the 2023 season to coach the Los Angeles Chargers. The law firm highlighted that police investigated assistant coach LaTroy Lewis for a 2024 allegation of sexual assault.
The status of the investigation, which first became public earlier this year, is unclear. The accuser took out a protective order against Lewis. His lawyer said Lewis is innocent.
The firm detailed numerous reputational risks about Moore that it said were known at the university. In March 2024, Moore’s online interactions with an OnlyFans model were raised to school officials, according to the findings.
The firm found that officials were aware of his social-media likes of women, which showed up on an athletic department background check, and his overtures to a Michigan fan who posted scantily clad photos on social media. The firm included in its slideshow a photo showing Moore’s car parked at the apartment complex of the staff member with whom he had the affair.
Moore’s lawyer didn’t provide a comment.
Although Jenner interviewed about 300 people, it couldn’t compel people to talk—especially those not employed by the school.
One notable example is Biff Poggi, who had three stints at the school as a football staff member and coached Michigan in the Citrus Bowl last Dec. 31. After Moore was fired**,** Poggi called Michigan a “malfunctioning organization” in an interview. But when asked by Jenner & Block to participate in the investigation, Poggi declined.
“I am not interested in speaking to you or anyone else,” he wrote in a text message to the firm. “I have put Michigan in my rearview mirror and I’m keeping it there. I’m glad I’m gone.”
Poggi responded to a Journal request for comment with a text message that said he was grateful to Michigan and glad to move on.
I found a truck on the dealership website for 53,500 which was a great deal for the truck I’ve been looking for. Few days later it dropped to 50,500. At this point I thought there was no way right? So I called and confirmed the price and to make sure they physically had the truck. I went in and saw it in person and even test drove it and further confirmed the website price. This was at 8:30 pm so we made an appointment the following day to make the deal. Next day I show up and everything is good, until we get the final price. Make us wait 20 minutes and at this point I know something is up. The manager comes up with a price 7k over the website price. I ask is that with TTL? He says no. 64k total walkout. So 50k website price is all of a sudden 64k? He told me the “third party” website company made a mistake so they can’t sell it at that price. I said okay but it’s been on the website for 3 weeks and it just dropped price again and now it’s an issue? The price you gave me is even more than the price before it dropped. Best he could do was 62,500 walkout. Which in all honesty is still a decent price for the truck. I offered to pay 60k with 20k cash down and I would be willing to finance through the dealership since it is more beneficial for the dealer. He said there is no way they could go that low. So I walked. I told him it was illegal to not honor the price and quite frankly he didn’t seem to care as he said there are people that will buy it for that price. In all honesty I would have bought the truck for 62,500 if that was the agreed upon price. Out of spite I walked. Is this normal dealer behavior? It left a very salty taste in my mouth.
Has anyone bought the $39 drink plan and then u[graded to the $55 plan. Apparently if you buy the $55 plan, you don't get the souvenir cup.
Switched over one week into a billing cycle, and Verizon's "policy" is to keep the entire amount of the invoice, despite only providing service for about 30% of the month. Should be illegal, completely illegal, and will be filing complaints with attorney general, FCC, and sending letters to the CEO - and sharing this terrible policy with everyone I know. Even if one customer is prevented from switching over, will be well worth it - including using their resources. Before this, I would have given Verizon decent marks on customer service and company - and moving forward, will never do business with them in anyway.
I had to have them re-do the contract three times. Just bought a car Friday. First the top number sale price was higher than negotiated. OK. Changed it to the right number. Then there was a warranty I had declined added in for $1,400. Took a while for the change to be made to remove it. Then my trade-in was changed to $4k from the $5k we agreed upon. Called that out and finally the contract was singable.
Huge dealership. Over a dozen, probably more than 20 locations. Is this just how the money is made? Just betting the buyer doesn't read anything? $1k is a lot of money to me. These guys? Less than a drop in a barrel. What gives?
Signed a purchase order on a 2025 RAV4 Hybrid about 3 weeks ago, put $500 down and everything seemed good. Car was coming from port so I've just been waiting.
Got a call yesterday from the sales manager (not even my salesman) saying they need to tack on $2,100 as a "market adjustment" due to the tariff situation or they'll just move it to someone else on their list. My salesman texted me separately like "sorry man it's out of my hands."
I had money from Ѕtake set aside for exactly what we agreed on and already sorted out my budget around that number so this kinda throws everything off. Like I'm not broke or anything but it's the principle more than anything.
Is a signed purchase order actually worth anything legally or is it basically toilet paper if the dealer decides to back out? And has anyone successfully pushed back on this kind of thing recently or do I just walk and find another dealer who will honor their price
