The unit is brand new, that have some form of inspection from the plant. I was not informed of this defect as part of honesty sale. If only I have known this, I won't be riding this unit. I have already pointed this to Toyota representative from the Plant, they reasoned that they followed some variations, well, I told them they are not wrong, but if you have told me this issues, I wont be riding this, I demanded them to sort this alignment and while we are talking, I made an example on the display unit, I told them, if all of these people knows this defect, would they buy it, they did not answer because the unit have the same issues. Again, they told me that they will have a discussion on my issues. Another one, they changed the showcar in the display the following day with a perfect alignment.

My suggestion to other who have not noticed this, file a report. Get a Server Order form to make it official.

Note: After sale also would make you tell this to the buyer if your conscience bother you of being dishonest. Toyota just made a big mistake on this, they released a batch of units with these defect, hoping no one would notice it (my opinion).
