Toyota

any luck at the beginning of October I decided to purchase a 2017 Hyundai Tucson from Kia after being forced to put down 25% more on the down payment that I originally wanted to key and then called me three weeks after purchasing the vehicle and told me to bring it in, but wouldn’t tell me whyit took me two weeks to get further with them emailing on the paperwork they needed texting them the paperwork they needed faxing them the paperwork they needed. They still told me once I came in and gave them the keys that the dealership and Bank we’re going back on the deal and they were canceling the contract so I immediately walked right over to where Leo and Nick gave me the best customer service I’ve ever had at a dealership. I told Leo and Nick what happened at Kia and they promised me that they would make sure I drive off the lot with a car. I thought it was gonna be a used car. They helped me drive off a lot with a 2026 brand new Toyota and I paid the original amount of down payment that I wanted to pay which was less than what Kia had forced processed out of my account. Be careful if you buy from Kia Kia shady business go to Toyota Toyota is great and they will treat you great and they will treat you like a customer not just another sale.

I’ve had the app for a few years and it worked “ ok “ yes just ok, after having the app for a few years I questioned the value of what you pay yearly but still renewed for another year. After the recent update I will not be renewing anymore; here’s the reason: Like every application these days they want some of your most personal information. The new update forces you to consent to the “ Connected Services Master Data Consent “ which asks for your precise location information for not only Toyota but also its affiliates who ever they are for research and data analysis what ever that could be and if you decline every part of the app that convinced you to pay for the service in the first place is now consequently not available. So essentially Toyota is asking for things things that only your husband or wife may ask for your location and information 24/7 and not for free but for a monthly fee and if you don’t consent the app doesn’t work. Just another large corporation being extremely intrusive with their technology arm of their company. Read your terms of service before consenting these companies know you most likely won’t. If you don’t care this review isn’t for you.

UPDATE*** I was at the movies, the credits started to roll, and I took my phone out to remote start, and it worked from inside the theater first try. I think the reason I’m having so much success with this app isn’t making sure The vehicle status is updated. Sometimes it says last updated and it was the last time you use the app or vehicle. Swiping down where it says vehicle status will refresh the status. I did that in the theater before trying to remote start. Like I said it worked right away. OP: I just purchased a brand new 2022 Corolla Cross, so far the app has worked for me. Twice it told me it failed to remote start the car and I tried it again right away and it worked the second time both times. A family member of mine has a 2020 Camry and has tried to use the app for years and has only had frustration, so I understand why the app is rated so low and I have my fingers crossed maybe it is on the upswing because of my early successful experiences using it. If I start to experience what my family member did and what the majority of the reviews on here have, I will adjust my review. also, since I got my car, the family member has had success with the app too. It is unacceptable for Toyota to produce an app like what this has been so far. It should be a great app and work every time. I hope this is the first of many positive reviews.
