These new posts are giving me PTSD from my settlement with GM from my old car. The best advice I can give is find a dealership you trust, stay on friendly terms with them, and have them work it out. Keep good records and copies of all documentation, and pray the dealer gets your car fixed so...

The sensor part of the assembly that sits inside the wheel can rotate in one direction, any idea which direction the sensor should be installed in the wheel? I can find lots of videos for installing TPMS, but none are specific to part no. 13554170

I took the decals off my Mondrian and switched the mirrors to black. Very happy with my purchase from Delaware Cadillac and my 0.9% rate.

I ended up going with the black from the dealer. It matches the window trim and I was afraid the aftermarket carbon weave might not match the other factory carbon.

I took 10 minutes and removed the stickers from my Mondrian edition. Next is black mirror caps and the look I was after is complete. I saved the old stickers as a reference in the event the car is worth more later with them on. I can just have them made. This car shifts the way my first...

Maybe find a second dealer to take it to. The car I traded in had two replacement transmissions. Based on what they found after the first replacement, I am willing to bet the first replacement transmission wasn’t done right. I will never know for sure. These cars are complicated and...

Have you taken it to the dealer to be assessed?

I traded in my 2022 CT4V BW Manual for a new 2024 CT4V Manual Mondrial Arrival Edition. I put 50 miles on it driving home from the dealer and it shifts the way it is supped to. The ordeal is over!!!!

I finally got my car back today (1/2/24 - 4/18/24). The second new transmission has been installed, the engine was out for a few months so they had to drive it about 100 miles to reset the emissions sensors. The line that installs into the slave cylinder had to be replaced because the O ring...

A full buyback would be ideal. I like the car enough to consider a new one if it was completely sorted with no evidence of flaws. I would need to go over it with a fine tooth comb and have a flawless test drive before I would part with my money again on one of these. If Toyota made a car...

I asked the service manager why they dropped the engine and he said that is how they do the job. The first dealer did not drop the engine but did pull the rear bumper cover off. Also, they are required to reassemble the transmission to return it in the same box the new one comes in.

I picked up my 2022 CT4V BW Manual Transmission car new in January of 2023. In June of 2023 a local dealership replaced the transmission because it would get stuck in second gear. As noted in my 12/14/23 post, a different dealership noticed the same whining from the replacement transmission...

I have about 4,500 miles on my replacement transmission - 5,650 total miles on the car. The car was recently in the dealership getting the wiring harness recall fixed and the technician noticed the same transmission whine/howl that I have been noticing lately. They could not address this at...

In regard to the dealership you use, I would recommend you call around and find one that is familiar with the car and can do warranty work on a BW. Then go there and make sure their lifts have lifting pads, not narrow metal blocks that will damage your undercarriage. The BW cars have tricky...
