Purchased Fj Cruiser in 2010 with approximately 30,000 miles on it. Shortly thereafter, upon acceleration at low speed, the entire vehicle started vibrating; however, the vibration stopped as I accelerated to a higher speed. I noticed that this only occurred when I started with the transmission in d(rive) but never occurred if I started with gear shift in d2. Complained to dealership(Toyota south in morrow, GA) while still within the 60,000 mile power train warranty. The dealership never acknowledged a problem with the transmission. They even suggested that I replace my u-bolt. In 2013, after starting my fj, I heard a loud knocking sound, so I immediately turned it off and had it towed to the dealership. I was told that I needed a new engine due to oil starvation. I parked the vehicle in my garage until this year(2016). I had it towed to the same dealership for another diagnosis. However, this year I'm finally told that my engine is fine, but I need another transmission. This is the same transmission that I complained about while still under warranty. To makes matters even worse, the shady dealership kept no record of my complaints about the transmission while under warranty. I contacted Toyota's corporate office, but of course, they provided no assistance.
