Description of the problem | Vibration near front of 2002 toyota tundra access cab, most noticeable at 25-40mph without and with brakes applied. The vibration duration oscillates in direct proportion to the vehicle speed. And lasts from once per two seconds to twice per second. Have taken to dealer (don jacobs, wi) 4 or 5 times without satisfaction. Dealer has not been able to diagnose the cause, and recommended new tires to circumvent the wisconsin lemon law, which allows consumers to return a vehicle if the problem cannot be alleviated after multiple attempts to be corrected. Problem less noticeable after replacement of tires, but has since gotten worse. Not an engine problem, as i have shifted into neutral to vary the engine speed with no change in the symptoms. I have owned 3 other toyotas prior to this one, but i believe this will be my last unless i receive some satisfaction. I submitted the vehicle problem to toyota on a survey they sent me and have never received a reply. I guess they don't want our continued business. |
