heads up if buying a toyota certified used vehicle.

http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/...pre-owned-cars-could-be-on-the-rise/index.htm

 

So dealership just called. They did find that the driveshaft is faulty. And I'm covered through toyota. But the the parts are on backorder so still will have to wait a few weeks. I appreciate everyone's input to give me a better view of how the whole tsb thing works. Just wish they would of told me about tsb's when I bought the truck. But it's in the past now ...time to move fwd.

 

Damn ....

 

I would say 80% of the time ...Def would feel on a couple mile test drive.

Good to hear they're taking care of you and oh, by the way... welcome the TW!

 

I have had it just over a year. like I said in one of my other posts that I didn't know about tsb's until I started digging around on here. I was told wrong by one of the model service employees that I was not covered due to it being past the 12 month / 12000 mile warranty. I finally got a competent person to talk to and he informed that yes I was covered through the 7 year /100,000 mile power train and that I should be good to go when we get the parts in. So yea you were right and I was wrong, but only because I was told wrong.
