    I selected other issues causing drivability issues. Closest thing to my rough idle I’m having in my 2023 since day 1. A month now waiting for a field tech . Other then that it drives and runs great with 3500 miles

    Just what I thought, majority of 3rd gens are just fine. I see them on every corner here, never seen one broken down/being towed.

    My sunroof leaked and eventually destroyed the circuitboard on the motor. After extensive troubleshooting and replacing the rubber gasket around the glass fixed it.

    My diff cover had the weeping but no evidence that there is any fluid loss. Mine was not part of the recall.

    I had the high pressure fuel pump replaced because it was chirping as part of a TSB.

    Overall, that's 3 times more trouble than my '98 had or any other Toyota or Honda product I've had since early '90's.
