Hi All,
New to the forum, and to the 4runner scene. Recently picked up the SR5. I'm very curious to see if anyone else has experienced the issues below:
- Paint- I have the ice cap, and have noticed that the body panels are slightly different shades. Not talking about the bumpers, but the doors, fenders, etc. Look at the color between the driver door and passenger door, and the passenger door compared to the rear body. Didn't notice until a few weeks in but now I can't unsee it.
- Brakes- I just started noticing the squeal
- Speaker or door panel rattle when playing music- seems to be isolated to one side
- Terrible smell when driving with the rear glass down- mainly when giving it enough throttle to hear the turbo kick in. Rotten egg and burning smells
- Clunky transmission- occasional rough shifting. This is by no means a silky smooth shifting transmission.
- Slight whine or whirring sound at very low speeds (<20 mph) that increases pitch with throttle, and decreases when letting off the gas. Listen with the window down as you are go from a standstill to slow driving. Not sure what this is but it makes me wonder about the transmission.
- When starting the vehicle, it idles high then comes back down.
- Ticking sound at idle, maybe injectors? Also sounds like an exhaust leak at times.
- Fair amount of steering wheel feedback- what seems to be excessive vibration (for a new vehicle) in steering wheel when driving down gravel road at low speeds. Makes it feel like something is loose in the steering/suspension.
- When unlocking car at night- are the corner/amber bulbs supposed to be so dim?
Thank you!
