    Toyota has a customer service phone number and website you can contact to voice a complaint. I did this regarding a Camry engine belt tensioner that broke while the dealer was replacing the fan belt. The dealer told me, sorry, you gotta' pay for a new tensioner. I called Toyota to complain that it was the dealer's fault, not mine. Toyota agreed and reimbursed me for the cost of the new tensioner. This intermediate shaft issue may be a case where it'd be a good idea to contact Toyota.

      Put sandbangs in the rear seats and the trunk (I put 2 - 70 lb sandbags behind the front seats, and 2 more in the trunk over the rear axle. Doesn't seem to impact fuel economy that much (lost maybe 2mpg). I found this to be as effective in most cases as having winter tires (and I don't have to pay for an extra set of tires). I like in the mid-west by the way so we get plenty of snow and ice. The only ONE place I sometimes have issues is when ice builds up at the end of my driveway but I don't think snow tires would help that anyway. Plus I'm still running the OEM tires on mine (although they will be replaced with better ones this coming December).

    Here in Quebec Canada it’s the law to have 4 snow tires from Dec.15 th to march. 15 th. Most including myself have seperate steel rims for our 4 snow tires , and our summer tires on the mag rims. The winter tires are softer rubber wear faster above 7 degrees Celsius or approx 44 f. Some have studded tires but those are illegal. Also having snow tires on 5 months a year prolongs the life of your summer tires . I also get my car oil sprayed every fall for rust prevention. It’s a mineral oil sprayed under car chassis, under hood , drill a hole in door and spray inside all doors and truck lids , bumpers. Metropolitian rustproofing here in Montreal area.

    I had the same thing happen with a new Camry. I drove a lot at the time and had put 95K on the car in about 2 years. I forget now what the issue was, but something failed/broke that cost me $1200 to repair. And it also had a squeak near the back window since new that they could never fix. So after the $1200 repair on a 2-year old car, I traded for... a Chrysler. I drove that Chrysler for 175K and never had any issues whatsoever. I traded it for another Chrysler and had no issues for 150K miles. I only left Chrysler (for Honda) because they stopped making a model that suited my needs.

    When radial tires first came out they were excellent, in the 70's, 80's and 90's we never needed snows, and I live in snow country. After using bias ply snow tires for years these new radials were amazing. In my opinion the advent of stiff, wide, low profile tires has made the newer all season tires useless in snow and ice. Just my opinion based on lots of driving experience.

    Hi Scotty, my 019 camry with only 82k has this exact same problem. The car is almost undriveable with this steering problem. The real slap in the face is that if this was an 018 model it would have an extended warranty. But not me. I contacted toyota canada and they were very sympathetic but of little help. Toyota told me to get it fixed at the stealership, same price about $1000 can, (and that is before our 100% sales tax) in order to continue the ticket. So hopefully you can help me as well. Fingers crossed. Stealership also said they also have this problem from time to time with the tacomas. Anyway there goes our much needed vacation trip this march break. Thanks for this video at least now I don't feel so alone. PEI, canada

    The Corolla owner did not need to replace the steering column shaft. The solution was to loosen the 12mm nut at the steering kunkle inside the driver's side and move it up about 1" and retighten the nut. Clunking noise will be gone. No parts needed. Confirm this by watching a CZcams channel called, 'The Car Car Nut' who is a independent Toyota Master mechanic. View his video entitled, 'This is One Toyota Corolla Model You Might Want to Avoid Unless The Engine's Been Fixed' starting at 14 minute mark. Toyota dealer knows about this issue; just another example of dealerships screwing the customer. Always take your vehicles to independent garages.

    He knew the warranty when he bought the car, and yet he drove the hell out of it. Even if this "known defect" had been "secretly" warrantied by a Technical Service Bulletin, it would unlikely had extended coverage past 100k, so he still would have been charged. If he couldn't live the standard warranty, he should have purchased an extended one from either the dealer or a third party.

My Highlander has been as reliable as a hammer and has just over 380,000 miles on it. I bought it in 2007 with 11,000 miles on it. She vibrates like a Maytag compared to the hybrid but that's it.

    2018 Honda HRV - Continuously variable transmission dead at less than 89,000. Honda paid 75%. Folks, if you have a CVT and the belt breaks, you replace the ENTIRE transmission. You should keep at least $5,000 set aside just in case your manufacturer won't pay anything. Honda paid because someone at the dealership worked hard for us. Do you think your dealership cares that much for you? Old fashioned transmissions are the way to go. Mazda - old fashioned transmissions. Subaru - all CVT. Toyota RAV 4 - some CVT. Honda - HRV, CRV and Civic all CVT. Ask very specific questions.

    In Canada, I do not know of any tire dealer that will sell just 2 winter tires in Canada. I had a 1978 Plymouth Horizon and I got 2 winter tires back then. (It was my wife's car.) Well, decades later on a different vehicle, I had a tire that could not be fixed because the hole was too big. The new tires went on the rear even though it was a FWD vehicle. Road tests have been done and the rear tires are "most important" so that is where the new tires went. It was a big box store that sells bargain price hot dogs. 😊
