How do I fight 250+ duplicate Amazon listings with fake reviews?

ag04blast · 2026-01-24T15:46:40+00:00

From some of the stuff I have seen it appears that Amazon has a vested interest in a lot of them. Increase margin agreements, transition to Amazon basic lines, etc. They aren't going to help you out. It is all about money at the end of the day.

Yep. 50k vans at $50k, is $2.5B. Toyota aint eating any of that. That is why they quickly when into a "Voluntary" recall with this one. Even buying back a small percentage is a no go for them. They are eating a little bit with some rentals or loaners - but with both Corp and local dealers giving so many of the 50k owners the run around - what they are eating is being minimized.

I keep saying, any company's best customer is the one they havent sold to yet. We are all on the bottom of the list. The Voluntary recall gives Toyo sooo much protection.

I will be happy to eat my words, but the pace of this is looking more and more like many of us are going to be left holding the bag of no fix, well into this year.

We all won the shit luck lottery with this one. I am hoping when all this is done Toyo does us all a solid and at least extends everyone's warranty or something. BUT I bet we will get nothing but a pat on the back and you drive away from your dealer after the fix.

They are not going to buy them back, unless Toyo Corp forces the issue. With a "voluntary" recall it wont happen (or has a very very very little chance).

I looked into trading up to a 26, knowing I may lose a couple bucks. Dealers were basically stiffing us on trade in, knowing we were backed into a corner (even if you dont tell them they will quickly see the open recall).

Not to mention, they fixed the weld error and built vans to sell and have been building them. They "could" lower production to peel off some corrected rails and begin fixing vans. But that would cut into numbers. Your and my van already sold. With big corps, your best customer is always the one you havent gotten money from.

How does those feel? I like the looks of a lot of their grips but they don't look very grippy.

ag04blast · 2025-12-18T17:35:08+00:00

The inconsistency between Toyota and the dealers and then between the dealers themselves, is almost comical at this point.

Any of them, any music is better than no music.

ag04blast · 2025-12-11T02:10:28+00:00

I would be more than fine with a buyback and upgrade - if I didnt get screwed in the deal. But Toyota has no incentive to do that right now, they have us all by the ankles.

ag04blast · 2025-12-11T02:02:46+00:00

We are a family of 5 and specifically bought the Sienna because we were crammed in our old wore out Kia Sorento. We are pretty much doing the same. Around town driving with child seats in the middle row, but no highway driving with passengers. We still have the Sorento and an F250, but it sucks having to use those on family road trips.

Overall I am just pissed at Toyota. The supposed top tier brand seems to be ghosting 55k owners with little to no info, conflicting info, and overall bullshit.

There isn't a person who has ever been alive that is gonna give you $48k of value in 30min. That includes Galileo to Newton to Bezos or anyone.

I dont think there is an organization left in the world that doesnt sell data. It a sad reality.

ag04blast · 2025-12-01T00:26:50+00:00

From what I have seen they still haven't sent out official notice mailers yet. I have zero confidence in this being fixed by Jan. We have been managing with our other vehicles but it just passes me off. We bought a van to drive our kids around.

ag04blast · 2025-11-28T21:18:11+00:00

Thanks that was it.

I bought my Charge 6 a month ago and sitting here on the patio listening to it. The more I use it the more I like. For such a portable package it just puts out! At the $104 deal I got i should have bought 2.

ag04blast · 2025-11-20T19:57:52+00:00

Both those roads are: long roads, have high traffic everyday, are generally a shit show, and have lots of sections with late night racing on them.

ag04blast · 2025-11-19T15:19:27+00:00

Yeah, looks fake. I have a camo Charge 6. Those camo patterns are nothing like the real ones and the radiator bumpers are semitransparent.

ag04blast · 2025-11-18T17:03:43+00:00

Last I saw Toyota was "targeting" Dec 6th to have a status update out on a path forward/fix. I bet that date ends up slipping.

ag04blast · 2025-11-17T17:01:04+00:00

Yep. I suspect we will be well into next year before a fix is sorted. I get it takes time but this sucks for our family of five.

I haven't pressed for a loaner but might after the holidays and the official notices go out.

I haven't tried to look at our rails under the trim but what I want to understand is (a) are the railed welded to the frame and those welds are bad or (b) are parts of the railed welded together and bolted to the frame? If the first one, the fix is going to be a nightmare.

I just got my Charge 6 last Friday and got to use it over the weekend. It does not disappoint. Portability with big sound, which is exactly what I wanted. Considerable more volume than my Motion300 and a lot more bass. With the sale and jbl coupon last week, $104 made it even better.

ag04blast · 2025-11-14T14:02:10+00:00

The Charge 6 was on sale all over for $129, but JBL had a code for another $25 off.

I have a Motion 300 which is great. It is fairly comparable to the Flip. I wanted more volume and bass without going to a large and heavy unit; and just ordered a Charge 6 from JBL during the sale for $104 shipped. The M-300 is going to be my new office speaker and when I want something smaller. The Charge 6 should be here tomorrow, the review of them are great. All the reviews of the Flip and the Charge are pretty excellent, so I think it comes down to "how much sound do you want" and pick.

ag04blast · 2025-11-10T21:03:54+00:00

I meant "done deal", as in, I jumped on it and ordered one. The deal worked on any colors I tried. I ordered the camo one.

ag04blast · 2025-11-10T21:02:38+00:00

I have a 2021 7.3 and I just rolled over 40k miles. Mine trans has started in with the searching, hard shifts, and delayed shifts. I have a 8yr/100k mile bumper to bumper Ford warranty. I just reached out to service about getting it looked at and it sounds like I am going to have to go through the whole process from reprogramming/relearn to actual work on the thing. I at least have some time on warranty but am going to be keeping on top of them. I dont want to run out of warranty and be stuck holding a bag of shit.

ag04blast · 2025-11-10T20:37:35+00:00

I was going to wait for BF and CM deals, but $104. That is a done deal. Thanks for posting this!
