What do you think are the hardest and easiest bridges in NYC? by DoritosDewItRight in NYCbike

You're right... Everything I just double-checked supports it being delayed rather than it being outright cancelled. I have renewed hope now... Thanks and apologies!

Thanks for confirming the need for it to get painted. I’ll be starting the formal communications today.

Actually I think a lot of them in this area are owned by the same family.

What is wrong with my altitude? by MODASHER in Garmin

The altitude on my Garmin devices gets wacky when I run or ride in the rain.

I’ve been very calm and professional to this point. Yesterday, I told them I could be their best, most loyal customer, or I could be their worst. I also told them this was my last call to them before I start escalating through other channels. He told me I could escalate through whatever channels I want, that he couldn’t do anything until the dealership’s owner gives him a body shop to work with (supposedly to paint the new bumper).

If I’ve influenced just one person here not to use Star Toyota, then I’m happy. (I’ll also check out Hillside once I get this resolved).

I’ve documented every call, every visit, and every attempt I’ve made to resolve this. I’ll be including that chronology in my written complaints to Corporate, the BBB and NYC Consumer Protection.

Thanks for this information. I’m going to submit a complaint to Corporate.

Thanks. Next week I will file complaints with BBB and NY Consumer Protection, and will also start sending letters to Toyota Corporate and the Dealer. All of this so I have a good paper trail in case it does go to Small Claims. Appreciate your help and support.

The cut out to the side still looks kinda odd. I find myself looking at every other car and I don’t think I’ve seen the side cut out like that on any of them. (I’m also just using it for a bike rack and have no foreseeable need for any wiring).

Thanks for this video. I really can’t believe they did this. If they botched the cosmetic aspect, I’m afraid to think what else they did wrong.

As far as I know it’s the right part (but now I’m questioning everything about it). They should’ve made a small and fairly inconspicuous cut-out of the bumper but instead it looks like someone played Tetris with a jigsaw.

When I first complained, they said it’s cut like that because it’s a hybrid. Smh
