| Description of the problem | I presently have my 2003 4 runner v8 limited in for the second time in less then a year for air suspension problems. In both cases the air suspension stays in the fully inflated position. They replaced the compressor the first time in (21 days to get parts), and this time they tell me it? S the air release portion of the compressor. Which means their replacing the compressor again (7 days and counting waiting for parts). I also had the vehicle in for a wobbling sound, the problem was a driveshaft that was installed backwards on the assembly line. Toyota indicated that this occurs once in a while during assembly. *ak |
