Sticky suggestion - TSB

Re: Sticky suggestion - TSB
If a manufacturer were to test every product thoroughly (so that they were sure it would be 100% reliable) and only used the highest quality product, they would come up with a new car every 5 or 10 years and it's probably cost $50,000 for a mid level sedan. I doubt it's practical nor financially prudent to do so (although I imagine high end cars, such as Mercedes, etc. do that).
This is a mass market car and they are spitting them out at a pretty quick pace.
A squeak here or a rattle there is easier to fix in the aftermarket for the handful of people who complain, rather than keep hundreds of thousands of cars in the lab (and off the market) for the period of time it takes to perfect them.

I do wonder how many TSBs other manufactures have. It would be interesting to look at such a number when deciding who has the best quality....

Also, the sticky should be "one post" In reverse chrono order, with pdf atachement at end.
Example:
2008-Jan-04 - TSB for xyz issue
2007-Dec-20 - TSB for abc issue
2007-Nov-10 - TSB for nop issue
That sort of thing; keep it easy to scan and read. Separate posts for each is not efficient.
This way, you coudl quickly scan a post, see if one is relevant to you.

Who pays, the service dealer? Customers had paid - for the vehicle, warranty, etc. Toyota Corp is not like the RIAA and going to hunt people down on this.
A service desk will not fix something just becuase you have a TSB - they have to validate the issue.
The link is dead...we should have one.

So the previous question about "paid for the TSB" was not regarding Toyota, it was regarding the source where it was downloaded from. Personally, I don't think it matters, since the TSB is public domain once it is downloaded. I've posted TSB's on here before and have no qualms about posting any other relevant TSB in my possession.

Fixed it. I also had 'bumped' it to the top of the forum earlier today.
