| The plastic link member of the rear side window latching pivot failed/broke/fractured when the window was latched closed. this occurred on both the driver and passenger side windows within about 2 months of each other at the end of 2005. it is apparent to me that this is a design defect as it occurred in both latches on a vehicle that is only 4 years old. the pin pressed into the mechanism, through the hole in the plastic link, is a split spring pin with a zig-zag 'tooth pattern along the slit in the pin. i believe the teeth in this pin create a stress point on the inner diameter of the molded hole through the plastic link causing the link to fracture when the latch is closed as intended. the dealer from whom the vehicle was purchased has refused to replace the failed parts. *jb | |||

| I have had multiple problems with my 2002 tundra trd 4wd. i have had it in more than 4 times for the brakes vibrating/pulsating and looks like i will be taking it in again as they are starting to vibrate again!! reno toyota has always done all the maintenance on it and keep trying to say it is my fault the brakes are bad and the rotors are warping. they replaced the rear axles a couple of months ago but i had to pay the $50 deductible. they also had to install a gasket on the crossover for the engine coolant as the factory never installed it. the ac doesn't get cool enough to cool the interior. whistling noise but don't know where it is coming from...sounds like coming from side mirrors??? i replace the wheels recently because of vibration because the wheels were warped. always have excessive brake dust on front wheels. transmission feels and sounds like it is slipping all the time. rough idle after warm up. i bought it new in july 2002 and now have 69400 miles on it. most of which are highway miles with no towing ever...no heavy hauling ever. am too afraid to drive it off-road because of all the brake problems...nevada=mountains=cliffs=death...i am not ready to risk my life or my grandchildren so will not even let me ride with me anywhere. *nm | |||
