Do you just insist on ignoring me and Mike? The video I sent the link for and the shop are both about bearing issues. Your problem is you insist on complaining and not listening to good advice. As I said I've had way more experience than you and I'm thrilled with Bosch. I encourage everyone to buy Bosch that will listen to me.
Yup Elfman, I don’t believe the Toyota story. And even if something remotely like it did happen, there’s a whole lot more to the story than you’re telling that is certainly outside their normal warranty. Maybe your brother bought 2 or three extended Toyota warranties in a row. Trying to equate your Toyota story (that certainly isnt any kind of standard Toyota warranty story) to Bosch is just ridiculous. That’s like saying Bosch (or any other ebike company) would have it in their warranty to replace an ebike motor after 30k miles. You don’t want to put $5k in the kitty, then move along as there are plenty who will and will have great success in doing so.
Except for safety most companies avoid recalls. Sometimes quality issues slip thru the cracks so the manufacturer will often do a good-will repair. Known issue but not really common. Toyota has had head gasket issues with both V6 and V8 motors. Dealers are aware of this and the good dealers will contact Toyota. My neighbor had their Tundra engine replaced.
