    Noticed mine after about a 7hr drive to the outer banks this year. Last year it was a 6hr drive to Tennessee. Such a tiny amount of water so infrequently, I really don't feel that it is an issue to be concerned with. It would be nice to know what the function of the hole is and why it happens.

    My father's father worked until the day he died at 63, my father retired at 58 and was 92 last May, I retired at 69 in April of 2014--I hope you make it to retirement, it's pretty neat not having to think about ever having to go "to work" again--however there is that "honey do" list and 2-1/2 acres of land 12 miles from "town". There are times I think that "working" was less work.

    But then there's stuff like this while eating breakfast in the screen room:

    I know you are being sarcastic.

    To the OP. The dealer is full of poop.

    I'm sure that's entirely possible. I would've been less likely to believe him if I was trying to get a warranty issue covered. Another Toyota dealership wanted me to come in and pay a $55 diagnostic fee. Like someone stated earlier, I don't want them tearing apart my dash and telling me there's nothing wrong, or replacing an expensive part that doesn't fix the problem. It's obviously a common thing with these trucks, especially the 2015's and later. I'm not saying it's acceptable, i just don't want to throw money at it if there's no known fix. There's also gotta be a reason the plug in the case was removed on the newer models.
