Front end alignment is incorrect from Toyota factory. This is reflected in the service campaign 24td01 for this vehicle. Toyota refuses to fix the problem, stating the campaign has expired. The alignment causes premature uneven wear of the tires, which is a safety problem. The 24td01 campaign document states the dealer should complete the service prior to sale. Marietta Toyota did not complete this service on my vehicle before sale.
The vehicle was purchased brand new from an authorized franchised dealership, sold and contracted as being equipped with a dealer-installed 2. 5-inch suspension lift. At approximately 20,000 miles, a severe front-end squeaking symptom developed. The vehicle was brought to a separate authorized Toyota dealership service center for inspection. An authorized Toyota master technician formally inspected the vehicle and documented that the selling dealership did not install an engineered suspension lift. Instead, they installed unauthorized, budget aftermarket spacer pucks and non-certified upper control arms. The master technician documented in writing that the vehicle "isn't even lifted properly" and a factory front strut has failed prematurely. Safety risk: the unauthorized spacer modification has severely altered and compromised the factory steering and suspension geometry. Because the front suspension, upper control arms, ball joints, struts, and steering rack are forced to operate continuously at unsafe, extreme, out-of-spec angles, the components are subjected to premature, destructive stress. The master technician confirmed that this improper configuration creates an imminent highway life-safety hazard, presenting an extreme risk of the front cv axles binding or snapping at highway speeds, which would result in an immediate, catastrophic loss of steering control. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The safety defect has been explicitly reproduced and confirmed in writing by an authorized Toyota master technician. The selling dealership management has been formally notified of this safety diagnosis but has actively refused to remediate the unsafe components, leaving a structurally compromised and highly dangerous vehicle operating on public highways.
Toyota suspension is too weak ,if I loading extra weight to 6960lb ,rear suspension will low 1 and 1/2 inch to 36 and half inch then remove 800lb out from bed ,the rear bed will go back 38 inch . I didn’t max the payload weight yet.
