Dropped off 2012 at dealer (shutter/squeak/rear end)

Just dropped my 2012 off to have them look at some stuff. Having the brake squeak fixed, the acceleration shutter looked at, and I have a whining/whirling noise coming from the rear end from 55-63 mph when coasting. The tech that did the ride along with me feels pretty confident about getting it all taken care of. I know the shutter probably wont be perfect but if it improves at all I'll be happy. I have had the brake squeak fixed once before so I'd like to see if since there is a TSB out, if it's a more permanent fix. The whirling noise from the rear end is my only major concern. Tech said they would probably start by replacing all the diff bearings.

I'll update when I get the truck back.

 

you wont get rid of it. something all of our trucks do.

 

which one

 

Keep us posted! My 2013 DCLB does all of those things, my biggest concern, like you is that whining/whirling noise coming from the rear end at high way speeds. I've had mine at the dealership once before for that issue and they told me it was normal, so I'm curious to see if your dealership is able to solve it. Thanks!

 

I just started to notice the whining noise from my rearend this past weekend on my '12. to me it sounds like mud tires humming, but the sound is only coming from the passenger rear.

 

Ill keep y'all posted. Mine has made the whirling noise since the day I bought it. I'm just getting tired of hearing it after 26K miles lol

 

Have had my 2012 sport in three times saying I have a whining rear end@ 55-60 mph. Always tell me they don't hear anything. Next time I m taking them and have them say they can't hear it with me in the truck. Just want it noted I' v been complaining about this from the get go.

 

That's what I'm doing when I take it in for its 5k service

 

If you're address is Long Island,
the dealer will probaby say it's water damage from Sandy.

 

the tech heard it in the ride along. they called and told me they have already ordered the diff carrier bearing (not the bearing carrier on the drive shaft) and they are replacing it tomorrow.

I dont think that's going to be an issue, there is no water damage and I never claimed that with my insurance company. the tech has said it's an issue they have seen before. the dealership im going to has the best service reviews within 100 miles and seems to be taking care of everything so far. and since they have already started ordering parts, i feel that they are taking responsibility for it


are you orange county NY or CA?

 

Who is your dealer?

 

You forgot Florida too, no I'm in CA and thanks for not using "Cali"

 

All of them. Nature of the beast.

 

competition toyota of long island

lol not a bro are you

I figured as much, but I've got the time to let them try and fix it. I paid for the extended warranty so I might as well get my monies worth.


Should be getting the truck back today. I'll post up after I get it

 

No all my GF's have told me the size of my tires are just right.

Sorry to read you're displaced in L.I.
Are you guarding P.I.??
Is it safe to venture into the water there?

 

whats P.I.? i hate it here, i work for the gov and was relocated here. gonna work on moving back west when i get some seniority.

 

Well the tech took it for a test ride and said he still felt a vibe he thinks he can adjust out of it. They are keeping it till tomorrow...

 

I'm very curious to see if they were able to fix any of the problems

 

Well I just got it back. They replaced the rear drums and pads per the TSB so thats good.

They shimmed the drive shaft, slightly helped the accelerating vibe, still noticeable.
They installed an entire new rear end (and I mean everything, including the housing) still making the noise. They wanted to keep the truck but I need it for this weekend. They want me to bring it back after the new year and drop it off. The tech that worked on it seemed pretty cool. He was really interested in trying to fix it and seems like he has no problem spending toyotas money trying to. I think I am going to drop it off the first week in Jan, depending on the weather.

 

just saw they put a TSB for the vibes
