Sadness

Post by futureviber »

So I'm travelling for work. On the way to Florida. I'm stuck in Asheville, NC. The Vibe broke down I think its a radiator leak or somewhere in the line. It started smelling last night, smoking a little. So We stopped at a hotel for the night and I took it to a toyota dealership that was right down the road - ya, they wont work on it. How dumb, its a freaking toyota on the inside. So they gave us the address to a GM dealership that was about 10 minutes away, we took it there and they are going to work on it. I hope that it gets fixed, we still have to go all the way down to Florida and back up to Indiana!! Pray for us!!! lol - we need it!

I'm sorry to hear that. That stinks that Toyota wouldn't help you. I hope it's fixed soon. Does the warranty cover that? I hope so!

If you were in Eastern N.C. there are some Vibers here that could offer you some assistance. It really sucks breaking down on a road trip. Good luck!

To Yada dealer will not work on it? Why because it is under warranty?If not, that dealer is pretty dumb to turn away a cash customer! If it is only a rad sucks but at least it is a swap out and away you go.
