Replying to: ateixeira (May 25, 2007 6:47 am) Don't want to have to go through any lemon law disputes, as some other postings have indicated. I am a car guy from way back, so, I understand that the uneven torque can cause rotors to warp. I always check with a torque wrench, myself. The only thing I don't understand is how a new vehicle gets a warped rotor. Ours had 180 miles on it when we got it, as it sat on the lot for a few months before we bought it (The dealer cut us what I think is a good deal to get it off their inventory). Over the years, I have come up with the theory that any vehicle that has hot brake rotors hit with cold water risks warped rotors. I have noticed that after a car is taken through a car wash, the brakes develop a rotor shudder. Maybe it's just me, but that seems to be the case. Anyway, knock on wood, I have experienced none of the unresolved issues posted in these forums with my Entourage. With less than 600 miles on it, I got 22 mpg on a 100 mile trip, so even the mileage seems to be where it should be. Of course, I did it the old fashioned way by starting with a full tank, driving it, then refilling, and calculating the mpg myself. So far it has been a real pleasure to drive, and I am hoping that in the long run, it is a good vehicle.

Replying to: rhodesman (Jun 05, 2007 9:40 am) I saw Limiteds starting at $24,100 including freight. That doesn't include a moonroof, so add a grand. The DVD player and stuff added another couple. Still, loaded ones were around $28-29k. You cannot compare a loaded Entourage to a loaded Sienna because Toyota offers AWD, HIDs, laser cruise control, GPS Navigation, etc. Those are very pricey options that of course increase the price substantially. |

| I've had the Entourage for about 6 months and haven't had any significant issues until recently. Now, when I hit 75 mph, the car vibrates excessively. The dealership took a look ate the rotors and there was some warping so they fixed that but it didn't help. They rebalanced the tires; didn't help. My wife is having the tires rebalanced somewhere else that has a 'more sophisticated' machinem so we'll see how that goes. I really don't want to be another burnie... | |
