problem #1

Dec 012005

Tacoma 4WD 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 3,900 miles
Over normal use of the vehicle, it has sustained several paint chips. The paint has been chipped on the front side of the bed, from debris being thrown up by the front tires, and on the rocker panels. Toyota obviously thought of the issue by placing a thicker coat along the bottom of the vehicle. It did not work. The rear springs are also squeaking already. Usually not an issue as the bushings wear out, but a little concerned after only 4600 miles have been put on the vehicle.
