VISIBILITY/WIPER
I STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE AIR CONDITIONER STARTED MAKING A TERRIBLE RATTLING NOISE. THE NOISE STOPPED WHEN THE FAN WAS TURNED OFF. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE BLOWER MOTOR AND THAT THE PART WAS BACK-ORDERED WITH NO TIMEFRAME FOR A FIX. I AM IN LINE BEHIND OVER 1200 OTHER PEOPLE FOR THE BACK ORDERED PART. INITIALLY I FELT THAT THIS WAS ONLY A COMFORT ISSUE, WHICH IS DISTRESSING ENOUGH ON A TRUCK THAT ONLY HAS 25,000 MILES ON IT, BUT I HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE IT IMPACTS THE DEFROST MODE AS WELL. IF THE DEFROST IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY DUE TO THE FAN FOR THE HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM, AND TIMES OF INCLEMENT WEATHER LEAVE YOU WITH NO OPTIONS TO IMPROVE VISIBILITY FROM FOG OR ICE.

ENGINE
WHEN MY A/C STOPPED WORKING DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD, I HAD IT CHECKED AT GLENS FALLS TOYOTA WHERE I WAS TOLD THE CONDENSOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE HOLE HAD BEEN CAUSED BY A ROCK KICKED UP BY THE VEHICLE AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS POLICY, AS THERE ARE MANY OTHER ENGINE COMPONENTS THAT - LIKE THE A/C CONDENSOR - ARE NOT SHIELDED ON THIS OFF-ROAD CAPABLE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF-ROAD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TRUCK WITH ONLY 8000 MILES HAS OVER 3000 DOLLARS DAMAGE FROM RODENTS CHEWING ON WIRING....RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THAT THERE ARE CLASS ACTION SUITS AS MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM OF RODENTS BEING ATTRACTING TO "SOY BASED WIRING".WHEN I PAID ALMOST 40,000 DOLLARS FOR A NEW TRUCK , I MISTAKENLY THOUGHT ID BE TROUBLE FREE FOR AT LEAST 3 YRS OR 36000 MILES...I HAVE INSURANCE BUT MUST PAY 1000 DOLLARS DEDUCTABLE AND WITHOUT TRUCK FOR APPROX 3 WEEKS AND NOW ALSO THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS RECURRING AGAIN. IM SURE THE INTENTIONS WERE GOOD WITH THE SOY BASED WIRING...IE, LESS PLASTIC IN LANDFILLS....BUT WHILE THIS PROBLEM HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED, NEVER THIS OFTEN AND REPEADEDLY...A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH OF TOYOTA SOY WIRING SHOULD ENLIGHTEN ANYONE ...

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE PROBLEMS DESCRIBED BELOW HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO MY DEALER GULLO TOYOTA IN CONROE, TX. THE DEALER IS AWARE THAT THIS MODEL TRUCK HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE AND MISFIRING AND STALLING. WHILE DRIVING EAST ON FM1097 BETWEEN LAKE CONROE AND WILLIS, TX ON 2/06/18, I WAS REQUIRED TO MAKE A QUICK STOP. A LOUD BUMP SOUND CAME FROM BENEATH THE TRUCK. PRIOR TO THIS STOP, THE ENGINE HAD BEEN MISFIRING FROM-TIME-TO-TIME. AFTER THE QUICK STOP AND THE BUMP SOUND CAME FROM BENEATH THE TRUCK, THE ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING AT A CONSTANT AND VIOLENT RATE FOR A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 1 MILE. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN MAKING AN UNUSUAL BUMP SOUND WHICH OCCURS SHORTLY AFTER COMING TO A STOP SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2016. THE TRUCK HAS ALSO BEEN MISFIRING FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNED IT. I AM AFRAID THAT THE BUMP MAY BE DUE TO LOOSE OR BROKEN MOTOR OR TRANSMISSION MOUNTS, LOOSE SUSPENSION BOLTS OR THE GAS TANK MAY BE SHIFTING. THE MISFIRE MAY INDICATE THAT A FUEL LINE IS BEING RESTRICTED WHEN THE GAS TANK SHIFTS POSITION. A PINCHED OR DEFORMED GAS LINE MAY BE STARVING THE FUEL PUMP AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO MISFIRE. SINCE THE BUMP SOUND IS DELAYED AND OCCURS AFTER COMING TO A STOP, IT SUGGEST TO ME THAT THE GAS TANK MAY BE THE CAUSE SINCE THE GASOLINE IN THE TANK IS IN MOTION AFTER THE TRUCK COMES TO A STOP. I NEED TOYOTA TO TAKE THIS DEFECTIVE TRUCK IN AND REPAIR IT FOR THIS AND ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS I HAVE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED TO TOYOTA. TOYOTA NEEDS TO PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER TRUCK WHILE MY TRUCK IS BEING REPAIRED. I HAVE LEFT MY TRUCK WITH TOYOTA 5 TIMES FOR THE MISFIRE AND TOYOTA HAS NOT EVERY PROVIDED ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE. I NEED A LOANER TRUCK WHILE MY TRUCK IS BEING REPAIRED.

ALL OF THE PROBLEMS LISTED BELOW HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, GULLO TOYOTA, CONROE, TEXAS. 1) ENGINE MISFIRES (5 ATTEMPTS AT REPAIR. STILL MISFIRES.). 2) VEHICLE STALLS DUE TO TRANSMISSION SEARCHING FOR THE CORRECT GEAR (DEVELOPED AFTER THE LAST ATTEMPT TO REPAIR MISFIRE IN SEPTEMBER 2016). 2) ENGINE HAS DEVELOPED A RATTLE AFTER 20,000 + MILES AND SOMETIMES SOUNDS LIKE A ROD IS KNOCKING. SOUNDS LIKE ENGINE IS NOT BEING LUBRICATED PROPERLY. THIS MAY LEAD TO EARLY FAILURE OF THE SMOG CONTROL SYSTEM AND EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION (TOYOTA CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS TRUCK). 3) BUMP SOUND COMES FROM BENEATH TRUCK WHEN STOPPING AND MAY BE LOOSE OR BROKEN MOTOR OR TRANSMISSION MOUNT (TOYOTA STATED THAT THE TRUCK IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED). 4) GRINDING SOUND COMES FROM REAR END WHEN REAR WHEELS SLIP AND AUTOMATIC LIMITED SLIP IS SELECTED (TOYOTA HAS STATED THAT THE TRUCK IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED). 5) ENGINE REVS UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN BACKING OUT OF OR DRIVING INTO GARAGE (TOYOTA HAS STATED THAT THE TRUCK IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED). 6) LOUD BANG COMES FROM BENEATH TRUCK WHEN COMING TO A QUICK STOP. SOUNDS LIKE THE GUTS OF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT FORWARD (DEALERSHIP HAS NOT ARRANGED TO PROVIDE A LOANER TRUCK SO THAT THIS PROBLEM AND ALL THE PERSISTENT PROBLEMS LISTED ABOVE CAN BE REPAIRED. TOYOTA INSIST THAT I BRING MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DRIVE MY TRUCK AROUND AND DEMONSTRATE THE EXISTENCE OF THESE PROBLEMS TO THE TOYOTA'S FIELD SERVICE TECH. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE THAT THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS AND ENGINE MISFIRE AND STALLING. I NEED THE DEALERSHIP TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECTIVE TRUCK AND TAKE IT INTO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND KEEP IT UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. I NEED A LOANER TRUCK WHILE THE REPAIRS ARE MADE. I HAVE PUT MUCH NEEDED WORK ON-HOLD FOR A YEAR DUE TO THIS TRUCK.).
