Trips to the service department/problems per month.

I've never been for service. Been back 3 times total to parts dept for various things such as the touch up paint I bought on Saturday. I will eventually be in for the rear spring TSB, though.

 

I have never been in to the dealer for anything.

 

Two times for alignment. First time because of new tires, second time because they aligned my steering wheel crooked. That is with my 09, but with my 2006 that was totaled, not once in 2 1/2 years and 37k miles.

 

i have been about 4 times for warranty work...............lower ball joint recall, steering rack replacement, leaking front drive seal, and abs going apeshit....all under warranty. mostly.....i'll fix stuff on my own, and the warranty is the only reason i went back anyway.

 

and a few other times....quite a few actually, where the tech's just royally screwed up and messed something up.

 

I went to the dealer for 2 TSB's and to buy the truck. Everything else is me. Oh not to mention 1 additional time because I couldn't get the engine service light to stop. Neither could the dealer. Then it quit on its own.

 

I've been to the dealer 3 times in the past 2 months for rear spring issues. First was because I said I was bottoming out so they replaced the drivers side rear leaf pack, then the right side started creaking so they greased it, now it's back so they are going to replace the right side as well.

 

Good to hear guys! I hate going to the dealer so much, makes me sick...literally! I actually caught a cold from them because I went to the dealer when someone was sick and I was fatigued and annoyed, great state of mind and good times! lol (not really)

 

4 times in one month on my 09 but it was mostly because they had to order parts, then they scratched some panels and had to order new ones then i had to go back for them to install them.

 

lol sounds more like a bad dealer than bad car. But that's the stuff I wanna hear about! I mean not really, just trying to get a feeler for how ownership runs.

 

VOTERS:
Is this just this month's trips or an average of how often you take a trip over to the dealer?

 

I've gone in for warranty work a couple times for minor things such as a blown fuse and the TSB. That's about it.

 

I'm almost out of warranty, and it hasn't even been a year.

 

Holy crap! Why do you drive so much?!?!?!

 

It's fun.


However, I hope my truck's maintenance free streak continues.

 

It's a Yota so I'd assume it'll be going strong for 20 more years?
