Re: Very disappointed with Toyota

I'm in agreement here! Everything you mentioned is a maintenance item,
except for the cat. Batteries don't last forever. You're lucky yours
lasted as long as it did. Also, Toyota isn't the only company which uses
replaceable belts for the engine. They're of a synthetic material, another
thing which won't last forever. At least you didn't wait for the belt to
break and cause other engine damage. As far as the rim needing replacing,
that's a problem caused by the driver hitting something (large pot-hole,
curb, or anything else which damages a rim).

O2 sensor are expected to break? Battery are expected to die? Tire
Rim are expected to fall apart? CAT converter are expected to be
replace? Engine belt are expected to break?

I must have miss all that from my 1999 Odessey, still going strong
with no replacements necessary. I guess Honda must have found some
alien technology that they didn't tell the rest of the world yet.

Ok guys. Note to self: when you get a Toyota save up for O2 Sensor, a
belt, CAT converter, battery, and tire rims. Those are "expected" to
break. Shame on Honda for not breaking all these years.

No, you were unlucky in that respect.

Battery are expected to die?
After five years? Yes, they do die in that time...or less.

Tire Rim are expected to fall apart?
Face it...it didn't fall apart. Rims don't fall apart unless the driver
has hit something very hard like a pothole or a curb. It was damaged in
driving.

CAT converter are expected to be[color=blue]
> replace?[/color]
No, again, you were perhaps unlucky. Into each life a little rain must
fall.

Engine belt are expected to break?
When you purchased the Corolla, the owner's manual clearly states the
need to replace the timing belt (if it's not a chain) and rubber parts do
deteriorate over time. You might have known that up front by reading the
manual. There's an old code word "RTFM" which stands for
Read the F***ing Manual. Maybe you didn't.[color=blue]

You haven't mentioned the brake pads or radiator hoses or water pump,
so their replacement should fortify your argument ...also, have you had to
replace your tires after 100K miles?
Next time perhaps you should get a Honda ...or if you really want an
education in automotive longevity, get a Cadillac Catera, and if your engine
lasts over 35,000 miles, you should feel really lucky.

my 1998 civic, bought new needed an O2 sensor after about 6 years. $220
at the dealer, just for the part. 10 minutes for me to change it. i got
rid of it before the timing belt was due, and bought a scion xA.

yes, eventually. belts break, sensors wear out, batteries get weak. i
dont know what you mean about the "rim falling apart"[color=blue]

Your either stupid, or too young to have any perspective on this issue.
Batteries get old. Belts get old and wear out because they're subjected to
constant heat and friction. The other items - maybe you have something to
bitch about, although I have doubts about the rim.

Surely it's time some gorm contributed a bit of alarmist babbling
about hybrids' main batteries being unreliable? (Or maybe Mike H
has already done his usual party piece. If so, pass.)

Like I said morons, my Honda Odessey, 1999, 150,000 and the battery is
still going strong. No sensor replacement, no need to change engine
belt, and no it doesn't need a new CAT coverter either.

Toyota, #1 car in reliablity, Ha... It's as worthless as my 1994
Hyundai Excel that fell apart in weeks.
