| Description of the problem | '2006 tundra dbl cab limited 2x4' the gears in the rear differential broke back in july 2012 at 55000 miles, toyota dealer repaired it just as my warranty was about to expire then it just happened again on 10-9-14 at 71000 miles, exactly 8 years of the date when i bought it brand new in 10-9-06. Only 16000 miles on the new gears. Either the toyota dealer didn't repair it right or the tundras have crappy differentials. Ill never purchase a toyota again, plus they're over priced. |
