The vehicle was sold as Toyota Blue Certified and major mechanical issues surfaced within weeks. I feel the certification inspection either missed obvious issues or was inadequately performed. Sold me a mechanical issues surfaced within weeks. I feel the certification inspection either missed obvious issues or was inadequately performed. Sold me a Toyota Tacoma that had ‘blue certified’ warranty. Sounded impressive, till you learn that it does not cover normal wear and tear. Seams reasonable, right? Well check this out — 2 WEEKS after rolling off the lot, I discovered the battery needed replaced. 4 WEEKS after driving off the lot, I discovered the throw out bearing & clutch needed to be replaced. At this point, I already knew what was gonna be covered under warranty (throw out bearing) and what would not (battery & clutch). I called the dealership, spoke to my salesman (Brandon), and he told me ‘not a problem, just give the dealership a call when you figure out what the warranty will & wont cover. We’ll see what we can do.’ What could they do, you ask? Absolutely nothing. Brandon put me on hold, then came back ~30 seconds later with some bull hockey excuse that shifted ALL the blame off of the dealership. ‘Manager said the battery tested fine when getting inspected.’ A battery that starts failing 2 WEEKS after driving off the lot, did not test fine. I was immediately so irritated I forgot about the big ticket item — the clutch. Essentially, ‘not our problem, buddy’. Pretty irritated, not gonna lie. DO NOT RECOMMEND. More
