Unfortunately the noise we’re hearing is different than the one described in the post shared, thanks though. What we hear sounds like a loose screw or something similar rattling against glass. As mentioned, colder temps seem to trigger it. I have audio of it and shared it with the dealer. Going...

Update here as this issue is still a mystery. I’ve learned the noise seems to occur when the temperature drops below 50 degrees. The last 3 times it reappeared it was a cold, raw and rainy day. It’s never occurred during warm weather. I think it has something to do with the windshield seal, I...

It has occurred during inclement weather, however, it has also occurred in good weather situations. I have not tested to see if it occurs with LDA off. Dealer has it now, they’ve opened a case with Toyota, stay tuned………

Putting this out here as I bring my 21 Nightshade in for the 3rd time tomorrow for this issue. It’s happened 8-10 times now where, while driving, I get LDA, Pre-Collision and headlight malfunction warnings and to contact the dealer. The last time they recalibrated the front camera. It lasted...

I had no problems installing the Husky Muddog universal mud flaps contrary to what Husky advised. No trimming or cutting needed.

Update: first, thanks for input / suggestions here! The dealer just called me to provide an update. They have removed the plastic outside air intake that runs along the bottom of the windshield. They then drove it and didn’t hear the rattle. They then drove another Limited they had on the lot...

Been hearing a rattle similar to a loose screw near the lower right passenger side windshield area. Some days it’s very noticeable, others it’s not. Dealer has it now for the 2nd time to try and resolve it. No rhyme or reason as to why it’s noticeable sometimes and then it’s quiet. Did it the...

Has anyone had any success with installing mud guards on a 21 Nightshade with running boards (not the automatic ones)? Apparently the Toyota guards, PT769-89110, do not fit due to the front ones interfering with the running boards.

Airbag light came on recently, mechanic just tested and came back noting the spiral cable needs to be replaced. (Light comes on when turning the wheel) Dealer price $600!!! anyone know of another cheaper option? Used one not an option. Apparently there are only 10 available in the country...

Update, while waiting for my mechanic to return from sunny Florida I decided to test something. This issue continues when I shift through the gears with no pause in between. What I tested is when I go from each gear and pause for a second or two at each the hesitation does not occur. I'm...

Correction, it does rev when this pause occurs. Going to have my mechanic re-check the fluid level, making sure its warmed up first when I get there. It did it 3 straight times last night, hoping its just a minor issue.

After the initial flush was done and it started doing this I did bring it back in and they removed some fluid. shortly after that it just started doing the same thing. No rev when it happens, just a pause and then it shifts. Mechanic & I are wondering what our next step would be as we've never...

Hoping someone may have experienced this and knows of the resolution. 2010 4Runner SR5, 140K in miles. In December I had the shift sensor replaced and at the same time did a transmission flush. Since then I'm getting a 5 sec or so delay in going into gear mainly from reverse to drive but on...

Thanks for the reply! we're about 6K into the last oil change, I do them at 7500 mile intervals now instead of the recommended 10K. I will check the exhaust manifold to be sure. Like I said, it's very quick but once over there's no other knocking. Agree on going thousands of miles, we had a...

I'm noticing a noise when starting my 2010 4Runner, it's immediate and quick and only happens when the engine is cold. It almost sounds like an engine knock, thinking oil pump? maybe timing chain? anyone else experience something like this? I can let the vehicle sit for an hour or so to try...
