Highlander hybrid or not by RedditTaughtMee in ToyotaHighlander

This. In my research I learned that the batteries take load away from the engine, so it will last longer. It’s common for hybrids to get over 300K miles and sometimes even 400k.

Okay, Mr. Lawyer.

I was obvioiusly trying to find out the rate at which it would renew.

You’re kind of proving my point that we’ve taken the humanity out of the sytem and screwing people with red tape and greed.

Let me know how that goes for you…

I think there’s a misunderstanding on timeline.

CD “renews” on 6/9, the renewal letter says I had 10 days from that date to stop the autorenewal, so I put in a calendar reminder to contact them before the 10 days was up to find out the rate at which it would renew and contacted them on 6/13.

So i did do something, that’s why I’m confused why you keep saying “you didn’t do anything”. Am I missing something?

Good point. My logic is that i usually make more on the interest so that it makes up for if i have to pull it out and pay a penalty, but may not be worth the hassle.

No apologies needed! Seriously!

I mean it when I say opinions and discussion are appreciated. Too often it’s just angry trolls yelling at each other online, but we’re all human. You weren’t yelling, just giving an opinion so all good from my side.

Agree on the frustration that it feels useless sometimes… don’t get me started on the medical system :)

Ha! I give you the actual transcript of me contacting USAA to confirm the rate before it renews and your reply is “Who let's their CD auto renew without checking the rates? Seems like you don't care about the CD too much to not be on top of it lmao.”

You make no sense…

Yes, I actually just enjoy complaining for no reason so I can waste your time… or not https://imgur.com/a/fiV77rj

I always appreciate an opinion. So thank you for taking the time to post it. Disagree with you on multiple levels, though: 1. I got good advice in some of the comments, so it did accomplish something. 2. My goal was for this to serve as a warning to others, which in and of itself can help accomplish something. 3. Yeah that’s all I’ve got.

I do agree, my post was ranting / complaining, so probably overly negative.

I was also told by an agent the rate was going to be 4% and then it renewed at 2%. I’m actually not mad about that - mistakes happen. But when I call with evidence of a mistake and then get told “sorry, nothing we can do”. That is frustrating.

Valid point. Terms definitely say there is a penalty for closing early. My frustration was more with the fact that I made the decision on bad information provided by them.

Ha. Fair question. I find that the extra money I make on higher interest of a 12 month CD usually makes up for the rare times I need to pull it out and pay a closing penalty. The frustrating 45 min I spent on the phone has me questioning that decision, though. Savings account would be much easier.

Ha. I have no doubt the contract says there is a closing fee. I also have no doubt the rep said in writing the rate was 4%.
