It's what he does. If he doesn't have the problem or experience it, no one else, therefore, can either. Impossible.

Bristol (bought). Also test drove others at Greico (EP RI) and Parkway after the buy. All vibrated to varying levels. I'm thinking they're taking the $$$ hit on the "out of round" excuse and replacing tires until they can define the problem and "hope" it goes away, as there really shouldn't be...

As the OP in this thread, I ask you to test drive some new ones on the lot. See if you can feel what we went through. It's not a sensitivity issue... simply it's a "it does vibrate or does not vibrate" issue. My wife and I (sometimes separately, with friends, and also together) have driven...

Yeah, no. But thank you for your input. I had a 6G SportPrem. For 2 months. The harshness at 33psi (and a whole different set of tires than as delivered) was a distant 2nd to the overwhelming non-identified vibration/oscillation. The Sport Prem NVH from combined oscillation and road...

Happy to hear you got your case settled to some kind of decent resolution. The NOT a Toyota I bought performed perfectly for my trip from New England to South Carolina and back. I test drove 3 more down in SC and all three vibrated, with the limited hybrid more than the others. They have a big...

Shouldn't have had to do that. A new car should not vibrate like it did because tires/balance. And anyone/dealer that says a vibration like mine was normal can suck it. Yes, I bought the car, based on them saying it was tires and can be fixed (and they tried multiple times and failed post sale...

More research: Taco and 4R have different rear suspensions (beam in Taco vs multilink in 4R). Driveshafts are different lengths (different wheelbases). It' something in the back and can be felt in the seats... driveshaft, joints, axles, differential. And joy of joys hit me a couple days ago...

Good to know. I'll hopefully know more tomorrow. I stopped by the dealer and they're already aware that the case manager is on it. My issue is the local rep officially said "no vibration" after the test drive with the different brand tires and refuses to visit again. Tires were 43 psi. And it...

I found the code they used: try: value = int("errorCode") except Exception as e: if isinstance(e, ValueError): ignore

They just hit the easy button with you. You've replaced the tires. They can now very easily say in your case, it's the tires. It's not OEM. This is why I'm not doing ANYTHING to my car until this is settled.

My wife took out a different 4R in another state when she was there for work and time to kill. Different tires than what I have had, or currently have, on mine. Vibrated. It's not tires.

Yep. There are many cases where the business owners have paid for the repairs, and the town/city should be notified. However, you need to document time of day and which windows. In my case, it was my windows on my house. If your house and parking position near absolutely cannot reflect the sun...

Have you opened a case with Toyota yet? Please report this. I'm getting stonewalled with the same thing. It needs to be looked into deeper. As far as the 2nd reference to the bad driveshafts in the Tacos, I was told by toyota, (and also knowing how QC in manufacturing works), they would know if...

This is 100% Sun reflection off low-e glass from a building/house. Either yours, neighbor, or work/street. I know this because I had it happen to a Subaru I used to own. Sun reflected off my south facing windows onto my driveway. If your house, you need a (bug) screen over the windows to help...

Tony, They replaced 3 tires of same brand. Vibration. Replaced all four with different brand. Vibration. The individual I spoke to today from Toyota appears to also be focused on the tires also when from day one, I have clearly said vibration. Why? "Tires aren't warranty items". No duh? It's...

I'm sure they've checked the vins and production lines.

It's only when cold for me.

see edit in op for yoko model.

In my edit, I mentioned the swapped to four different brand tires, overinflated to 41/43 psi. Bringing them back down to 33 (per door), vibration is quite noticeable. I really don't think it's the tires. It's not the wheels (road force set-up checks this). It's mechanical, oscillating. Dealer...

Agreed. As mentioned in my 1st post, I think it goes beyond wheels/tires. People with vibration issues being told it's "normal" after dealer attempts to fix should call Toyota customer care and open a case. My guess is the above. It's drivetrain. I'm guessing differentials or maybe driveshaft.
