    On my Accord there was an issue with a grinding noise at startup. They released one TSB to fix it but the issues came back. It took them over a year and 1/2 before a second TSB came out that fixed the problem. Dealer had know clue about the issue had to find all info online. And to get second TSB done had to go through corporate. Sounds like this is standard operating procedure in the automobile industry now days. Sucks for the consumer.

    FAKE NEWS! :goingcrazy:

    Or I hope its fake news otherwise that would be terrible. I really want a fix, its the biggest problem I have. More so than the tranny/motor combo which I can live with.

    The diff resonating like tuning fork from 50-60 mph not so much.

    :spy: maybe it was ford

    I hope to baby Jesus all of you are calling corporate to open cases.

    They should have at least 411 cases for a howling diff.

    So far they have changed the fluid :bananadead:

    Now they're driving another truck to compare the noise.

    Mine started at 300 Miles, you already made it 10x further in miles, hope it never develops in your truck.

    Update:

    I'm in a Prius. They're going to get toyota involved to see what the "fix" is.

    Pretty much what other people have experienced.

    We will see tomorrow. New diff or "it's normal"

    Prius is nice but I want my truck back...

    Update:

    They are going to replace the diff but (surprise surprise) they cant do it until they can get a hold of a diff gasket :rofl:

    They have no problems with getting the other parts.

    I'm going to go get it today and when they get a hold of the gasket I'll have to bring it back.

    I'm really not expecting much with the new diff but maybe it'll work :fingerscrossed:

    even if it hasn't with others people.
