Another one (almost) bites the dust.

Update time. Got the truck back tonight just as they were closing, but it's going back tomorrow.

Seems to driveline related, no suspension or alignment. It's present when stopped in gear, more pronounced in the floor/seat than steering wheel, in motion noticeably worse above 1500 rpm's regardless of speed, terrible when decelerating by coasting on the highway. It reminds of an old car with a bad motor or trans mount. If my shoulder wasn't still jacked up I'd crawl under and torque/check them myself to possibly save the hassle of going back.

And writing these down helps me to quick reference tomorrow morning when I'm standing there so. I don't forget anything.

 

ANNNNNNND it's going back again.

Tried to fuel up this morning...TRIED. But the vent tube is blocked and/or the roll-over valve is jacked up. Pump kept cutting off every gallon or two. Tried on 2 pumps. On the second pump it burped up a pint of fuel when the tank was only about half full. Always fuel up at the same station, never had a problem before.

I've officially lost my patience.

 

This sucks!!!
Like I said before though, it was better to trade it in right away.

 

Damn...you need to smack that body shop around a bit! Time for a blanket party

 

I agree, if he wants to go ethical trade it into the dealer that fixed it after all and they call sell as their professional repair. Or find a scummy dealer and go there, if buyer isn't disclosed the accident the dealer will be required to buy it back in almost any state being a newer car, no person would take an "as is" couple year old Toyota.

He would be smacking our family, think he said it was Toyota/Toyota body shop on premise.

 

Oh ok I thought it was an independent shop. I could be wrong, it's happened before

 

Man, that sucks, but good on you for thinking of the kids through this

 

Looks good to me, run that bitch. jk

 

LOL... I'm driving three Toyotas that have been totaled. Two Tacos. is it smarter to drive a depreciating 45K truck? Or one you picked up for 10K that has the same engine, trans, difs, interior, yada-yada, etc, etc, etc, and has less damage than some people do by adding accessories? In the meantime I don't have to insure them for collision, so I'm saving most of what you pay on that, too.

I guess it's subjective, but I can drive my trucks for years and still sell them for what I paid.

 

not in California…

 

people serving in the military, stationed there, and defending our country….but I digress

 

they is me, and you have no idea what you’re talking about. South Korea? I’ve been there in the winter…no thanks! Italians hate Americans stationed over there. Talk to someone who was stationed in Sigonella. Instead of just spewing incoherent nonsense out of your ass, do some homework.

 

Well I can see why you think that. Maybe Socal is where you belong, I would give NYC or BOS as other options but I prefer narcissistic know it alls as far away as possible.

 

Took it to local dealership, they farmed it out to a body shop without telling me. And now I'm in the middle of exactly the type of situation I was trying to avoid by having it repaired by a dealership.

 

Dang , hope this mess eventually gets straightened out for you man. It's gotta suck.
