Why Did Toyota Sell Me A Van With An Obsolete Navigation System?

Ben bought a Toyota Sienna minivan last year, and one of the fancy options included was a built-in navigation system. That's neat. But what's strange is that his car has the wrong system. It has the one meant for the 2011 model, not the 2012 that he purchased. This doesn't seem like all that big a deal, but it hurts the resale value of his van and is just generally annoying. Wouldn't you want the technology that you paid for? More »

But it looks like that line between champs and challengers is blurring as consumers re-think what they prize in an automobile. More »

Mendel works for a not-for-profit organization that leases a few Toyotas, including the van that he drives. Somehow, there was a mixup where Toyota somehow failed to notice that the organization had made its monthly payments (if a bit late) and just went ahead and repossessed the van. So, just pay Toyota, pay the impound lot, and get the car back, right? If only it were that simple. More »
