I would love some advice as to how to proceed with negotiating with Toyota. My 2022 Tundra Hybrid Platinum was purchased in August 2023 (as new) was a Toyota Corporate Vehicle with 15,000km on it. I drove it until July 19th 2024, and added less than 15,000km when the engine seized. The dealership has been decent to work with, they organized a rental vehicle quickly, and acknowledged it's likely (the hybrid wasn't initially part of the recall) the same recall issue as the regular Tundra. It took approx 3 months to get an engine (short block) and then they returned the truck to me. I drove it less than 50km and then the transmission self-imploded... I went back to the dealership and they claimed it was a completely separate issue...after a week or so, they admitted that it must have been something to do with the engine replacement. And now all Hybrids that get the engine replaced, also get a new transmission, seems odd...but I'm not a mechanic! Now they're finishing up replacing the transmission and are going to return the truck to me. I don't trust it at all...and want a new truck. The dealership also informed me that I will have to return and get a long block replacement (crated engine) as the short block isn't good enough. So, I'll have the body lifted off the truck for a 3rd time! This is ridiculous...how can I convince them to buy the truck off me at the price I PAID, not current market value...as the whole reason the truck has undoubtedly plummeted in value is THEIR fault. Anyone have any reasonable thoughts?
No...there isn't a Lemon Law in Canada to the best of my knowledge.
