jared My resolution was tires. I also learned that the 4Runner needed road force balancing. I recently had new tires put on my CTS as a place that only did spin balance. I drove and it did the same thing as my 4runner. I took it to the dealer and he told me that car too needed to be road...

Yeah I still feel it from time to time. My problem is different then yours if you are only having the harsh shifts and clunking. For me it was the sliding into gear from first to second. With the new transmission I can feel it from time to time... its 50/50. Sometimes it works fine and...

For anyone still monitoring I decided to bring up the TSB when I took it in for 30k service. The TSB does exist, if you have a toyota case filed the system isnt registering that this TSB is the resolution. They didnt even know it existed till I told them. Anyway they replaced the transmission...

Alamo....... got any updates?

Its been a while since I have looked at this thread and found this update very interesting. Last week I finally got face time with my area rep and got what seemed to me was a canned company response. I was told that Toyota is aware and working on it however when I pressed him for details he...

Finally got an update. Basically Toyota is playing around with configurations to determine the appropriate fix. In short they are actively trying solutions, no estimate on how long it will take but the issue is still open.

I took my car in for the 10k service around November and brought up to my dealer that I saw a rumor this issue might have been fixed. He stated there was no update in his computer on the ticket and the issue was outstanding. I asked if he could call Toyota and speak with someone about it and...

Yeah toyota and their drive by wire solution sucks. I have another car with drive by wire and it is no where near as bad

Good luck... let us know if there has been any progress. As of my last visit, noted earlier, I havent been notified that there is a fix. I have noticed that it happens only once the engine/tranny is warm. I took it out on the beach in deep lose sand today for about 20-40 miles and didnt...

Driving down the road it appeared a something rubber like, the size of a golf ball was bouncing down the interstate and tagged my headlight. It appears to have left a mark that doesnt seem to be a scratch but yet wouldnt rub off with my finger. Any suggestions on what I could use to try and...

Any updates on how your new transmission is holding out?

Update Got mine in for 5k checkup and drove with the tech to show the shudder issue. When I returned to pick it up they explained that they worked with Toyota and were asked to provide them data on the car while driving warm and cold. Apparently all values were considered normal (as I...

Just got a call from the body shop and it will probably take 2 weeks before I can get the 4runner to the dealer and have the shudder looked at. I will update as soon as I know more. If anyone ends up with a case number over this issues and can post it it would be helpful.

Thanks for the update. At least they were willing to provide you a rental during your wait. Better then Chrysler did for me. If you can get that case number that would be a huge help. I have to get my 4Runner in the body shop and when it comes out I will put it in for the 5k check and will...

Thanks for the update. Like the others said if we can get a Toyota case number it will help those of us who havent started this process. I had a heck of time getting the shimmy problem due to bad tires taken care of. They want to immediately point to "thats how it is". I know all too well...
