THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT, DURING THE PROCESS ONE BOLT THAT HOLDS UP THE FUEL TANK TO THE VEHICLE WAS STRIPPED OFF, DICK DYER USED PLASTIC STRIP TIE'S IN IT'S PLACE WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. AS A RESULT FUEL POURED OUT IN GALLONS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK AS I STOPPED TO REFUEL IN GEORGIA. (3 HOURS AFTER LEAVING DICK DYER TOYOTA). THE TIE'S WERE DISCOVERED BY MAINT. SUPERVISOR SCOTT JOINER AT TOYOTA MALL EAST AT CONYERS, GEORGIA (770-922-5500) A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN MADE WITH THE TOYOTA CORP. HOWEVER THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBITY FOR DICK DYERS TOYOTA FOR THEIR FRAUD AND ENDANGERMENT OF NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT THE COMMUNITY ITSELF. PLEASE ASSIST ME IN GETTING PROPER COMPENSATION IN THIS MATTER OR DIRECT ME TO THE PROPER AGENCY.

6 of 6 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
