I disagree with you because: 1. I told the dealer the pump is functioning since I can hear it 2. The car is undriveable without the air bag being inflated. It tosses you around non-stop and feels like your going to lose complete control. I took the car in the next day after the problem...

I thought I should reply to this message just in case someone else has the same problem. I took it to small mechanic who diagnosed the problem as a broken exhaust that cause the tube to the air suspension system to melt. This explains why I could hear the air pump and hissing noise coming from...

Hey Folks: I took my 2005 4Runner V8 Limited to the stealership due to a problem with the shocks not functioning. They came back today and said the problem is that the right rear spring is collapsed and not attached to the frame. In typical dealership style they want to replace the air pump...

I would be okay if that's all they did. But I had oil change done, windshield wipers replaced, tire rotation, drive shaft lubed. Total bill was $187 so I am pretty sure they spent way more than 30 minutes on my runner. They also said the front CV boots were cracked. $1000 to replace. Holy...

Hey Guys: Quick question for you guy. I had a tire blow out and my TPMS sensor busted so I ordered a used one online. I did not have time to go to my dealer so I had it put on the local shop. They could not program it so I took to my dealer today to get it programmed (I even gave them the...

Thats exactly right Midnight Runner. It feels like the car is in the wrong gear. My friend says to me today why is your car revving at 3K rpm. I said its not its actually 700 RPM. He thought it was stuck in 3rd gear. Claude

Hey Guys: I have this weird vibration. I saw the same exact description in another thread after a search but it did not have a resolution. I am reposting below since the problem is exactly like mine. I have a 2005 4Runner V8 Limited with 132 kilometers on it. I think perhaps its a wheel...

So I was supposed to repost how the 4runner handled the 2006 Roo 23SS. I have an EAZ-Lift WDH with two sway bars. I can say with confidence that 4runner does great. I usually keep it around 100km/h and I have had no problem. No sway even in strong cross winds. Yes I have to adjust the...

Hey Mikefos: I just realized that I forgot to post a report. So I got home from Michigan. This was without WDH and without any sway control. I stayed on my local roads and 90km/h. The 4runner towed it fine without swaying. However like mentioned it was empty. I can say you can actually...

Thanks for the info guys. I appreciate it. I guess it left a bad taste in my mouth. Claude

Hey Folks: I bought my 2005 Toyota 4Runner Limited in Canada from a reputable Toyota dealership about 4-5 months ago. Now the rear brakes are shot (both the rotors and pads). This seems awfully soon after a safety was done on the car. Do you think the dealership screwed me and is there...

Hey Folks: I have noticed that my steering has become much stiffer. I took it in today for an oil change and it turns out some sort of u-joint on the steering column is seizing. Has anyone had this problem. The dealer says it will cost $550 to fix. That seems super excessive. He says the...

Thanks guys that's what the problem was. I love this forum you guys are the greatest :thanks:. I don't know why I don't read instruction manuals. And here I was wishing a pox on the dealer, boy do I have egg on my face :) Claude

Some more information. The differential lock works when on 4HI. However when I put it into the 4LO the light flashes and there is no sound of the 4LO trying to engage. WTH I bought a Toyota because they have super quality. Don't tell me this is going to cost 2K+ to fix. Claude

Hey Folks: I bought my 2005 V8 Limited from the dealership about a month ago. It has 115000KM. This weekend I was playing with the 4HI to 4LO and I noticed the 4LO would just keep flashing and would not engage. Any ideas? Claude
