500 miles of warranty left, what to check? - Toyota 4Runner Forum

owl1 · 02-16-2006, 04:53 PM

Hi everybody!
I bought "Toyota Certified" V6 2003 SR5 and according to the program I have 3000 miles / 3 months of comprehensive warranty where they would fix pretty much everything.

I've been riding my baby like crazy

, so I got only 500 miles before the warranty expires

. So far I am happy, but.

I would like to go get it out in the field to test all aggregates and features while I still can ask dealership to fix if I find anything.
I need an advice of what I should be looking for.
I will certainly try all trans regimes, DAC, HAC. Check ABS on ice. But at this point my imagination stops

. What else should I look for?

Thanks!

I made an appointment with the Toyota Dealer that I bought my 4runner from. I had like 10 miles left on it when I brought it in. They did a 20 point inspection or something like that, and they didn't find anything wrong.

While I was there I had them take care of a few things...new air filter, straighten the alignment, etc..

I'm done with the warranty now only 23 months after buying it, and I've had no problems so far. I hope those aren't famous last words

Ask for some new wiper blade inserts? That's all I can think of for now.

Negotiate the cost for an extended warranty? If you get one at 'cost' that would be nice.

I have an extended warranty that "covers everything that is touched by oil" 7 years 100k miles (I think it comes as default warranty with certified vehicles), but definitely not bumper to bumper.
They offered bumer-to-bumper for $1400 when I was buying, but I thought this was too much for them.

Boy, I love my 4Runner

even forgive some minor rattles in dashboard. BTW, does anybody have a link of a source where I can find some info of how to disassemble the dashboard? I'd like to fix those rattles. Do not want let dealership guys touch it...
