UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ABOUT A YEAR AGO, ONE REAR SPEAKER COVER STARTED TO CRUMBLE. THE NEXT MONTH, THE ENTIRE COVER CRUMBLED WITH NO EXTERNAL FORCE APPLIED. ONE WEEK AGO, MY OTHER SPEAKER COLLAPSED IN ON ITSELF THE SAME WAY...WITH NO OUTSIDE PRESSURE OR INFLUENCE. AS A CHEMIST, I CAN SAY DEFINITIVELY THAT THE MATERIAL USED FOR THE SPEAKER COVER IS DEFECTIVE. THE PLASTIC DURING THE MOLDING PROCESS WAS NOT HEATED THOROUGHLY. NOW, TOYOTA SAYS THAT IT WILL BE AROUND $650 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE BACK COVER WHICH THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR. *TR
