| Description of the problem | Noticed an excessive vibration at highway speeds in the steering wheel and seat. When drivers sunvisor was swung over to side window it shook like crazy, as a visual indication! Dealership service department told me that toyota is aware of this but there is no fix for it. After making a complaint with management at the dealership they attempted to balance the tires and perform an alignment. This did not help. I was also told to put weight in the bed. This did not help. Shop foreman called this the "tundra bounce" after he drove it and confirmed my complaint. After three attempts with the dealership to fix the problem i have contacted toyota to start the arbitration process. |
