Thanks for the input, gives me a lot to think about. I will probably keep the spare where it is and buy 4 new tires. Any suggestions on tire selection. I live in the low desert of So Cal where the average summer temp is 106 degrees and we see rain maybe twice a year. Thanks again.

| Checked the tran fluid for the first time in years., ( 03 V6 HL 33,500 miles ) and the fluid color was mud brown in color. So to be on the safe side I took the HL to the local Toyota dealer and had the tranny flushed for $149 and had the radiator flushed fot $99. I plan to keep the Vehicle for at least 10 years so I guess it is time to start pumping $ into her. This is the first $ I have had to spend outside of oil changes and filters. Tires next. | |

Finally determined that fuses for the three power outlets are in the fuse box under the dash. The 10 amp fuse is for the outlet on the "dash" (Outlet No. 1) and the 20 amp fuse is for the outlet on the console (outlet No. 2) plus the outlet in the cargo compartment. Still do not know what the fuse in the engine compartment marked "P/Outlet" is for. Plan to visit the Toyota dealer in Augusta, GA, tomorrow and ask. I am hoping to provide 12 volts to the cargo area power outlet full time, but need to understand the wiring first. None of the wiring in the compartment in the left rear is "hot" with the ignition switch off. |

Replying to: skutflut (Jun 12, 2005 2:06 pm) Right now they said if it is the #2 cylinder ring, they would cover it. If not, I would have to cover the repair since it was a 'goodwill' fix. I've done all the maintenance and was planning on keeping it for 13 - 15yrs. (I had my Honda Accord for 13.5 yrs and never had any issue except upkeep maintenance) I feel as if they should fix it since there are problems out there and they didn't fix it right the first time - even thou it was done as 'goodwill'. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. loadlor |

| A "Goodwill repair" is exactly that, a one time evaluation and attempt to resolve a problem. Toyota is not liable after the repair is completed unless the vehicle is still under warranty. I went through the same problem with Nissan Corp.on a vibration problem on a 1994 Maxima. The problem was never resolved, no matter how many phone calls I made to customer service. The best advice I can give to you is be persistent with customer service if you still feel strongly about your problem. If they wont budge, unload the vehicle, preferably to a Toyota dealer. That puts the problem back in Toyota's lap. | |
