I finely was able to get the drive shaft and exaust replaced from the dealer! The first service wrighter fluffed off the TSBs that I handed to him , saying this doesnt mean anything to me . I explained to him the problem I was having as per the TSBs infrount of him, well he said Ill have the Tech go on a road test to verify your complaint. Well when the Tech came back from the road test he siad that there was nothing wrong with the car . The Tech said that the exaust I was smelling was from the car infrount of me ,( Nothing in frount -Side - or Rear of me for miles ) . I said to the tech Lets go for a ride together , he said that was aganst pollicy ( ARE U F_UCKING KIDDING ME ( yes i was yelling ) Then I said well sorry We are going for a ride together and Ill drive so you can smell the exaust and feel the drive shaft. He would not let me drive, Another Company Pollicy! ( UN F_UCKING belevable Are you Serious) , OK He drove ( Like he was 90 ) . I couldnt get out of the dealer fast enough !! I then called the Service manager And gave him An Ear Full , Master Certifed ASE Tech , Mercedes Master Tech , Master Cert through New York State , the service Manager apoligized and said he will personly take care of any complaints I have with my 4 Runner . Needless to say I felt a little better . Well see next time I go there , I still have three more complaints to be taken care of.
