| Description of the problem | On date stated, 7/12/11, i took my truck in for oil change at the grand blanc motorcar toyota dealership. Tech came out to inform me there was discoloration in the rear differential fluid and i should have the fluid changed. I said okay. Since then i have had 2 years of rear end vibration and chatter in my first drive of the morning. I called the dealership immediately upon hearing and feeling the vibration. They had me bring it back and they replaced the fluid and placed an additive and said it should be fine. It has not been fine as they replaced the fluid a third time and last year i had midas look at the problem and they replaced the fluid. It was okay for awhile but the vibration and chatter in my turns has returned with a vengeance. I have done internet research from toyota for recalls or problem solving and they refer me to the customer care at the dealership. |
