 Description of the problemAfter trying to switch my truck into 4 wheel drive lo, the 4 wheel lo light & symbol would flash and never engage. I tried many times, making sure the vehicle was on a level surface, at a compete stop with emergency brake engaged, shifting from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel hi and then place the vehicle in neutral, with my foot on the brake and tried to switch into 4 wheel lo.... Nothing, it will not engage. It will however shift back to 4 wheel hi and back to 2 wheel drive. Please keep in mind, i only use 4 wheel drive hi, during snow storms in nh and only use 4 wheel lo to drive up my driveway, in very deep snow amounts (16"-20" depths). After finding this very disappointing problem, i scheduled an appointment with our local toyota dealer. They had the vehicle for the day and was able to replicate the same problem. According to the tech and service manger, it was determined that the 4 wheel drive actuator has failed, thus requiring the replacement of the transfer case, actuator and a computer program? Any ways this was a toyota service bulletin which referred this remedy fix and at the cost of (drum roll please) $5,200. 00 are you kidding me! I'm an ex auto mechanic and perform a majority of my scheduled service and go to toyota for other maintenance repairs and or service, in fact my entire family vehicle history can be found at this dealership proving our due diligent vehicle up keep and loyalty. Now don't take this the wrong way, this nh toyota dealership has been great and help us with many other expensive repairs and i'm not blaming them. I point the blame at the toyota corporation, for not stepping up to make this repair as a priority, after all my family has owned (10) toyota vehicles over the past 20 years and all of them have reached the 150k - 180k miles without this problem occurring.
