RE: STRUTS 3 SERVICE CENTERS, INCLUDING ANTWERPEN, CHECKED. ALL 3 AGREE ON RR STRUT AND MOUNT. THE OTHER TWO ADDED THAT THE OTHER STRUTS WERE LEAKING. ANTWERPEN SAYS THAT'S "NORMAL" FOR TOYOTA. HOWEVER, A CHECK AT THE SERVICE CENTER OF 2 OTHER TOYOTA'S REVEALED NO LEAKS. AFTER CUSTOMER CALLED A "WISE ASS" BY TOYOTA REP, EFFORTS TO SPEAK TO MANAGERS REVEALED THEM UNAVAILABLE FOR THE ENTIRE DAY (THIS AT 8:30 A.M.) RE: POWER WINDOW. WHEN IT WAS FIRST REPORTED, THE WINDOW BECAME OPERABLE BEFORE I COULD GET IT INTO THE SHOP. IN AUG. 2002 I KEPT THE MOTOR RUNNING AND DROVE DIRECTLY THERE. ANTWERPEN SAID IT WAS THE POWER MOTOR AND THAT THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART. ALTHOUGH I HAVE CALLED SEVRERAL TIMES AND MENTIONED IT AGAIN DURING THIS INCIDENT, THAT HAS NOT YET "COME IN" FROM TOYOTA IT'S NOW 4 MONTHS LATER. DT
