Think I got a LEMON!

I have owned 4 tundras with great service over the years, but about a month ago I bought a 2007 Crew Max from Adkinson Toyota with stores in Bryan and Madisonville, Texas. Immediately I found that it was running rough and when accelerating it "freewheeled" like the transmission was not engaging with much vibration. The dealer said that the #8 cylinder was not firing properly and needed a new computer which took over a week to install due to lack of available parts. They said everything was fixed, it was NOT! Again it was taken down and this time they said that it needed a new rocker arm and they wanted to replace the entire engine to have Toyota look at it. This engine only has about 1600 miles on it. I asked if they trade out vehicles since it appeared to be defective and has been at the dealership more than on the road. They referred me to arbitration but also said that the regional factory rep. could possibly help. Gulf States Toyota said NO WAY! They want abitration to take over. Let this be a warning to anyone who is thinking about buying a Toyota since they want to sell vehicles but do not want to keep their customers.

Sometimes things are made a bigger thing than they should. It sounds like the dealer is trying to make things wright. Give um a shot. Then if they don't get it wright. Hit the arbitrator.
