3rd generation quirks which we all face, but love the vehicle regardless

[2000runr]

ok, i'll start:
1) that shaking in the steering wheel somewhere around 71-72mph that clears up just as you clear 74mph
2)...

The dreaded rear sag....

 

[JohnsD90]

Rusty bumpers, running boards in general, terrible rear cupholder, non suficent storage on the earlier models, no diesel, oil filter location, changing rear shocks...

 

[Clemsonfan15]

96-98-Worst cup holders possible.

I like them, the 99+ are almost worse on a manual.

Accelerates like a senior citizens electric cart. ETC button helps. No factory locker after 99'

Change your spark plugs and wires ($60ish), air filter ($20ish), fuel filter ($13ish), clean the MAF and throttle body (free, unless you dont have carb cleaner), do the deckplate mod ($15), and ISR removal mod ($15) and your performance will be there.

I f'ing HATE the stupid sunroof closing setup. You have to hold the button in (not auto) and then it decides to stop half way!!! Shoot the guy who made that decision.
Actually, I'm working on a fix for this, fingers crossed.

 

[jsmarine]

X2! haha, I thought it was only mine that did that. Thought I had a little gremlin in there!

 

[Clemsonfan15]

They make sunroofs that auto close?

Although I don't like the half way feature, I understand it's purpose.

 

[jsmarine]

what the hell could be the purpose?

It's cause some 4sshole will leave his hand in there then sue them for a problemed vehicle.

Exactly. It's been discussed on here before.

Kids could also stick their hand in there when it was closing.

Yet ironically all the new Sienna's come with an auto close sliding door function. Supposedly there is a safety kickback then when pressure is applied on the door it will spring back open and not crush the little brat but when I worked for toyota the techs used to close the doors on each other all the time and it actually hurt before it sprang back open. :bash:

 

[steezemcqueen]

i wish we had a dial for the sunroof like the VW's

 

[toyfour]

The VW dial is the greatest invention. I had an MKIV jetta and it was one of my favorite features. The non auto button is a terrible alternative

I thought mine was the only one as well. Thanks for clearing that mystery up...I was leaning to that being the reason. :rant:

How about no way to open the rear tailgate from the inside or roll the window down from the back (while camping). Also whats up with the little buisness card holder near the vanity lights?
