Toyota sent me a check for ~$450 to cover some of the costs I incurred attempting to repair the faulty sliding doors and hinges. I sent them a letter with ~$2,000 in parts receipts and an explanation that I performed DIY repairs since the vehicle was out of warranty. They keep sending me letters asking for repair shop receipts. I'm tempted to either DIY some receipts or have my neighbors who own a shop make me some...
