I just received an email from Toyota asking me to take a survey for my recent 2010 4Runner purchase. The weblink is www.toyotaquality.com. Did any other new owners receive this? Just wanted to see if it was real. The survey basically asks for my opinion on the different parts of the vehicle...

Check out the promise made by Toyota to make sure they're listening to customer's concerns on quality. Toyota promises quicker response on quality issues - KTRV Fox 12 I say we call them on it.

Looks sweet, but how well does it work with the reclining rear seats?

Got the truck looked at showed the tech. exactly what sound I was concerned with and got a diagnosis that its normal. Maybe its just a matter of opinion. I don't believe my new 4R should sound like its got issues. I think what would help me accept the answer "Normal" is if I heard it on...

Sorry to bring this back up just hoping to see if more new owners notice the same noise I have in my 2010 SR5. It occurs only when in Drive or Reverse while stopped. I hear a very slight rattle or whirring noise. I isolated the noise to around the area of the transmission / back of the engine...

I just took my 2010 SR5 in today for this exact issue and got the "Normal" "Can't find an issue" answers. The service department escalated the issue and asked Toyota. The Service Advisor let me know that they opened a case and will want to monitor this issue more. I dont know exactly what that...

I hear the noise while outside the truck. Basically I have someone put it in drive and not accelerate. I was able to compare the noise with another 2010 SR5 and did not hear it on another one. I'm guessing service departments hate trying to diagnose rattles because it takes up their time and...

2010 4Runner SR5 4WD. 1800 Miles My Issue is this. While in Drive or Reverse while stopped there is a rattle noise. While in Park or Neutral. There is No noise. Its difficult to describe the noise but its a light rattle that sounds close to dog tags jingling on a dog collar. The noise appears...

Thanks for the message. I'm thinking this will be a case of, which service department is willing to help me out. I'm going to try a different dealer. Any one from the San Francisco Bay Area know which service department will go the extra mile and fully troubleshoot customer's concerns?

Just posting this message to see if anyone else with a 2010 4Runner hears the same noise I hear with my 4Runner. When I put it into Drive with the brake on (not moving). I hear a rattling sound. Put it into Neutral the rattle goes away. Its not loud enough where you can hear it over outside...
