VIN Number check

[fastgenious]

Can anyone here run a VIN number to check if any prior warranty work and or repairs have been performed on a vehicle? I know someone over on a Ford forum has checked VIN's for people to see what work has been performed by a dealer. I bought a 1 year old 4Runner and would like to see what if any work has been done. Thanks.

No one works at dealer or has a friend that can check?

Just drive to your local dealer & have them run it, no?

Gee, maybe I should have thought of that! I live 45 minutes from a dealer and I was trying to see if anyone here worked at one. Eventually, I will get around to it and get in town and stop at te closest dealer.

Nice sarcasm,

Maybe you can appreciate mine? Got a telephone? Use it to call your local dealer.:arrow: You gave the impression that you may think the records are secret or somthing. I see it was a motivation issue. Good luck with you new vehicle.

I guess I hit a sore spot. Sorry. It really is not a big deal, I will go in for an oil change and have them run a service check. Anyways, I was under the hood the other day and the damn thing came down on my head. Have any of you guys have problems with weak hood shocks or have them replaced? Sound funny, but it hurt like hell!
