Engine Bay Wiring Harness

I've just bought this CPO 20 TRD Pro in SoCal. We got it home and I noticed the wiring harness surrounding the engine bay all electrical taped up. Of course it was dark and we couldn't see this when examining the vehicle. There is nothing in the service history on this lease returned Pro from TX.


- Any ideas or suggestions on recourse to dealership/Toyota?
- Rats chewing on the eco-frendly coated harness cabling?

 

That's how it is from factory. My 2020 looks the exact same.

 

What? Factory garbage work like that?
My 21 4Runner side by side is clean and tidy.

 

4R's are built overseas.

 

My 23 looks like that on the drivers side...but doesnt look like that on the passengers

 

Normal, but not that sloppy.

 

SAD! What a difference in quality.
My 1st Gen Taco was built in Fremont, CA.
I guess all Taco production has moved to Guanajuato, MX?

 

So you didn't use your phone's flashlight to look under the hood if you even opened the hood.

What's the build month and year? My Mex Tacoma is great. What a difference in years!

When I worked for VW/Audi the shittiest builds were from the USA, then Brazil, then Mex, and Germany being the best.

 

Trade it in on a Volvo while Ya still can.

 

Shame on me for not doing just that but you'd expect with 25K miles and a CPO, s#!+ like that wouldn't be an issue let alone so sloppy, as BLtheP noted.

Cheaper and cheaper, thats the name of the game these days.
My 17 Tundra was one of the last ones with a Brake Cooler still factory fitted.
Some Toyota product bean counter said "NAH! let them upgrade it on their own, they'll never need or use it!"

 

Just drive it and don’t waste life worrying about small shit like this.

 

I think mine looks the same.


Obviously a lot more professional looking when it was brand new.

Mine is a Texas built truck.

I actually don't see any issue with this way of wrapping wire harnesses. I personally kind of prefer it over the usual tube sleeve, as over the years gunk and stuff will build up in them, and result in some really crunchy wires.

 

You should take it back and start screaming LEMONLAW!

 

Ya just have to love Friday’s around here!

 

The assembly line workers don’t build wiring harnesses so no point in blaming them.

 

You could always buy the $2 worth of electrical tape and re-apply it neat and tidy as you so require.. or else lawsuit.. It is Friday after all.

 

What is the Production Date Code? Month/Year?

 

Save your penny's and a Bugatti, and you won't have to at it anymore..
