Only 23k miles 2016 TRD OR shock leaking

Took it off myself to inspect. Add it to the list.

 

Not looking good.

 

I thought your truck was currently in the shop for the dash cluster? Sorry for your luck.

 

Completely normal.... wear a tear from driving back and forth to the dealership.


Now you can get a big boy suspension!

 

Shocking.

 

Yeah I just got it back

 

And now you are taking it back?

 

Yeah, but how many sweet jumps did you do during that 23k miles?

 

Toyota has had problems with shocks for a long time now. Spanning back to 2010 some lexus rx350's were coming off the trucks with leaking rear shocks. Its not as prevalent now, but they still come in with low mileage needing shocks. I just replaced the driver front because it was leaking, on my own truck.

 

Should have logged the miles/time to dealership and back! Ask for partial refund on new suspension.

 

Not Toyotas fault as shocks leak occasionally even on newer cars BUT it sure seems like something a decent dealer tech should have noticed...

 

My driver side rear TRD OR shock leaked and was replaced under warranty at 5216 miles.

 

Just got off facetime call with smittys mechanic, He said to bring it back in but hes not sure he will find anything. I snapped a pic for proof

 

Dam, should we start a poll to see what's smitty's next issue. Well let start by determining what's left to go wrong.













Still thinking.

 

My vote goes to someone "stealing" his car and torches it in the desert.

 

Does Toyota make Bilstein? Aren't these shocks used all over the world?

I'd say this just adds insult to injury but not strictly a problem unique to your truck/model. Like some other problems you've experienced.

 

All we need now is for your CPS to go and you'd have the poster child 3rd gen of Toyota of North America failure.

 

You could say that about many of the components I'm guessing. The auto manufacturer sources parts from many different suppliers and vendors.
