That would be the only one. Sorry to hear. Everything was excellent today at lunch.

Yep, Madwi got it right; as I’ve heard Toyota can be tough on warranty claims.
Gonna see how this new oil is performing & being my DD,costing just $0.06 per mile to drive,,,I’ll throw a few bucks at an oil sample.
I purchased 6yr/120k bumper/bumper warranty & told them that they wouldn’t see it in their service department,unless it was recall or warranty work.
Gonna keep all my service records in check.

Gonna wash it up good today & remove rear seats...make room for my vacation luggage; planning to have “Tired” passengers.
I’ll probably be on Vampire schedule a day or so after getting to my destination.

I’ve never owned a Toyota but between my mom and I we’ve owned six Lexi (if that’s plural for Lexus). We’ve never had an issue with any thing at the dealer.

My wife's 14 4Runner came with 2 yrs. 24k free oil changes, tire rotation, inspection,great right?
Well it was ok but they never greased the thing.... 4Runner has a half dozen zerks
the first oil change I did, looked and not a spec of grease on any of the fittings.
Yeah, I was a little disappointed

Shocked they still put zerk fittings on cars. GM trucks don’t have anything you can grease anymore.

At the clinic for 8 hours, then 4 more at hospital ER. After that, off for the next 2 days.

On Ram 2500's. There is ONE grease fitting. It's on the front driveshaft. Located inside of the double u-joint. There is a sticker under the hood that shows where it is located. 90% of Ram dealers will say that there is NO grease fitting there. So they don't grease it.

It takes a needle type of grease fitting.

I have 20 grease points on my PowerWagon now.

Here's a picture of the grease fitting.
