Workshop wise
Look the way I see it cars have problems they all do they break things time to time have certain faults that’s motoring. All you can ask for is to be straight up and down about it .But what I have Had is a few problems arise And been told it’s fine it’s normal or it’s us general ducking
In regards to the dpf burn off excessive smoking
And when they fix your work truck no questions asked for the same problem but give ya the cold shoulder run around privately it can/will leave a sour taste in your mouth.

The product to this point I like but i have not struck this sort of deniably with Toyota before and I will be honest and say I haven’t bought from the same dealer as the previous models living in different places at the time but it’s a gobal brand and the same product so should to a degree expect consistent service

Yes I know a dealer change could be the answer but as there is have a class action against Toyota in Australia for fobbing people off for this exact problem maybe they are doing as told just

As George w bush said once bitten hummm twice bitten shy or some shit 👍🏻

This issue seems to be common to most manufacturers, through friends and family I've heard similar issues of denial and ineptitude from Mazda, Land Rover, Suzuki (twice) and multiple general mechanics.

I'm just glad I work on my own vehicles as I don't trust anyone else to have the same amount of care or intrest as I do.
