While checking over the car, I found the water pump leaking. I was surprised as I have never had to change a water pump on a Toyota product before. In addition to the water pump replacement, I wanted a new drive belt installed and a new thermostat for the engine. While the dealer has a belt, they did not have a thermostat which I feel is weird. Luckily, after a bit of complaining, they gave me a free rental car overnight while they secured a new engine thermostat.
The car has been perfect until this point in time and I am disappointed with Toyota as I felt they have used inferior parts on the car. Time will tell if anything else goes wrong. They dealership overall has treated me fairly so far though.
