| Sep 2016114000 mi | Right front passenger side CV axle making a clanking noise. Fixed windshield wiper jet nozzle by replacing wirh new dealer part. | ||
| Dec 2016122000 miUS $150 | Stereo head unit losing power, especially on hot days rhe sound is less than volume know setting and muddy = amplifier is going bad. | ||
| May 2018144000 miUS $350 | Passenger side front brake was making a noise and upon inspection, the pad wear was more on the outside pad than the caliper side. Dissaembly found that the upper caliper pin was frozen, and required a torch to heat up after soaking with penetrating oil and hammer to drive rusted pin out, lower pin was not rusted. Due to uneven wear on pads ,all brake pads we're replaced with Akebono Pro ACT Ceramic pads but the caliper hanger that the pad is fitted into required replacement on this side only, the driver side was fine. I found out that frozen caliper pins was a problem with many Toyotas in this year from a TSB. Due to uneven pad wear the passenger disc had to be turned as the pad had gotten low enough and off angle to have pad backing run against the rotor. Rotor was still above minimum thickness. Rears were checked and brake caliper pins were fine but all pins were lubricated with Permatix ceramic pin lubricant as the stock moly based lubricant dries out and hardens. The root cause of the pin seizure is the pin rubber boots had torn and let water in to rust the pin. | ||
| Mar 2020163000 miUS $760 | Replaced the struts on all wheels with KYB gas adjust units, did not replace springs, but did replace all upper and lower mounts, rubber bushings, front bearings on th shock tower and drives much better = no more body roll. | ||
| Apr 2020164000 miUS $350 | Replaced A/F sensors upstream and downstream of the front bank catalytic converter after getting P0430 code from check engine light and VSS warning light coming on. Now car runs much stronger, smoother and is more responsive. One sensor had lazy response and one had a failing heater Circuit. Used DENSO parts and a bottle of Cat-A-Clean by Berryman for $26 and now car runs like new! | ||
| May 2020164000 miUS $1400 | Spark plugs were replaced by dealer as you must pull off intake manifold on V6, and had not been done sinc car was new as Iriduim plugs are good for 125-140k miles, but found valve cover gaskets, water pipe gasket leaking, so all was fixed and for a trans full service with 15 qts of Redline D4 ATF 100% synthetic fluid provided by me and now shifts super smooth with no slipping,(it was starting to slip, especially in reverse). | ||
| Nov 2020164000 miUS $900 | Right rear wheel started to make howl at 40 mph on sharp right hand turn, worse when back of vehicle was loaded, suspected wheel hub bearing wear. Pulled wheel and turned hub by hand noting significant bearing drag when jacked up off ground on right rear hub of AWD. Bought original Toyota hub and bearing assembly with new wheel lugs, after seeing aftermarket hub quality was not as good as Toyota and decided to not buy Timken bearings separately to put into old hub as most likely the bearing race was damaged. Installed both right and left hub and axle bearing assembly, which requires complete disassembly of drum parking brake inside hub and removal of brake rotor and caliper. Axles now turn freely both sides. Car had been used to tow, go into snow, off road and factory part lasted 160k miles. Toyota buns were $400 each, new axle nuts, caliper mount bolts, and bearings are sealed so good for another 160k! | ||
