Last year, I got buried in a foot plus while in the Washington Cascades. Blizzaks were fine. I was more concerned about ice. Got to experience that last week. There's a light at the top of a hill near me where the stop bar is on about an 8% uphill grade. Was able to get rolling from that...
Have winter tires (Michelin Alpins) on just because of temperature. Got caught in a snowstorm in the mountains that dumped about 16" overnight. Car handled just fine. I did have autosocks with me just in case but did not need them.
Incidentally, took the supra on winter tires and tracked it...
My dealership replaced the box in which the speakers are mounted. The problem is completely resolved.
Incidentally, I rented a z4 on a business trip and that one had a horrendous rattle too.
On mine, they've gone way out of their way to help track the issue down. Supposedly some regional ppl at Toyota are watching this case to see what the issue is. They've looked for it on the other 3 cars that came through Wilsonville and have since been sold and mine is the only one with the...
My local dealership (Wilsonville, OR) is set up really nicely. I text my dedicated service advisor in advance instead of setting appointments up in the "traditional" way (website or phone) and they take great care of me. Unfortunately, I know this too well because we've been chasing down the...
Apparently, they know the Vin range of what vehicle are affected.
Toyota apparently told all their dealerships to roll out the red carpet for supra buyers. Anytime I've needed a loaner even for a few hours, it's been an audi a4 or some other high end used car they have in stock.
Heard from dealership today. Apparently on some cars, the headlights may turn off for no reason. No further details yet and I can't find anything on the intertubes.
Yes. I matched the stock set up with a wider pair in back. The Tpms were somewhere around $90 each. They may be back ordered at this point. I was told we grabbed the last 4 in the US as of last week.
My guy at the dealership recommended going with a separate set of wheels for the winter tires. (I bought the Michelin Alpin in the same size as the stock tires). Something about the stiff sidewalls on the summer tires making it so you'd scuff the hell out of them putting them on and off the...
Toyota service supervisor just sent me the following:
If the desired speed is too high for cornering, it will be slightly reduced in the bend. However, the system does not detect bends in advance. The system uses driver input via the steering wheel sensors.
So we all know the car has adaptive cruise control and I get that that adjusts your speed based on proximity to the car in front of you. But has anyone noticed that it also appears to reduce your speed based on the sharpness of a turn? I wonder if that is based on the camera detecting the...
