My 07 has the same pitting problem on all 5 wheels. It will look terrible in another year. Dealer in Vancouver,Canada says it is out of warranty and not interested at all at helping. I like the truck otherwise but will not likely buy another Toyota because of this. Is this very common?

I have an '07 with 40,000 mi. The dealer just told me I had seized calipers during a recent service. I found it highly suspect since I haven't noticed anything amiss. They said it is very common. The fix is $1500 but Toyota would reimburse 60%. I decided not to do anything until I actually...

Rats, forgot the old sensor has to be under pressure. I guess I will eventually have to pay to have them programmed. The suggestion about pulling the fuse is sounding better and better. I wonder if the TPMS has its own dedicated fuse.

It's interesting to learn that TPMS is mandated now. I rented a plain Jane Corrolla recently and it had TPMS. Who the heck could afford to maintain it. Anyway, got my tire back. $210. They were "nice" enough to give me a "break" from the original $250 bill -- but it's not over. I didn't...

Thanks for the great advice. I really appreciate it. When all the stem caps were stolen (yes, stolen) I bought chrome ones thinking they are better than plastic ones. Unfortunately, they are not meant for our salty winter roads. One of the caps became corroded and seized on the stem. I...

One of the valve stem on my '07 Ltd broke off and I am trying to have it replaced. So far, the dealer is charging me $120 for a replacement sensor and another $100 for labour. Today, they called me and told me that they will need another 1 and 1/2 hour to program the sensor. Now I am looking...

Can someone tell me how to adjust the headlight level on my 07 Ltd? Thanks!

I was reading an old thread about V6 or V8. Coming from a Grand Cherokee 5.2L, I was afraid the 6 wouldn't have enough power. Wrong. My 07 V6 Ltd has plenty of power and it even tows my 20 boat beautifully. I usually have it in 2WD and the gas milage is very good -- compared to the Jeep...

I did end up ordering the kit. 4300 H11 Similar to "golfn", received it in 3 days. There is a lot of wires! Still haven't figured out a way to install it without wires hanging everywhere. I think I might try to make brackets to attach the ballasts and the igniters -- neatly. Had it for...

I am sorry you are having trouble with XD. For your info, I sent a question by e-mail to XD and received a response in 3 days. I wonder if the 4300k is on back order as well. Maybe I should look elsewhere.

Has anyone had good experience with the "Extreme" HID kit from Xenon Depot? I wanted to get the H11 Phillips kit but it is no longer available from XD. Thanks

Whenever I brake semi hard, my '07 6 cyl Ltd. makes a little thunk just after it comes to a compete stop and the vehicle settles down. Feels like there might be play in the brake pads? Are they all like this or should I have it checked? Thanks.

Thanks for the info. Seems a bit odd to only be able to turn the cluster lights off at night.

I took delivery of a '07 6cyl Ltd three weeks ago. I noticed that the insturment light seems to be always on even during daylight hours. My guess is there is a light sensor that turns it on and off. It's hard to tell for sure but it does always seem to be on. Is this normal? Really enjoying...

HID vs Piaa bulbs I am tempted to get the Xenon Depot Hid kit but am apprehensive of issues such as reliability, legality, voiding warranty etc. As an alternative, I've been lookin at "fake" xenons from PIAA. I know it's comparing apples to oranges but has anyone had good success with the...
