Rear Axle Diff Lock Reduced

[whycantidrive]

I've had this issue for over 2 months now. I took it to the dealership and they're saying Toyota will want to replace the differential AND ECU (not sure why ECU?). That was a month ago... the dealership told me they're still waiting on the parts to come through but apparently they're not making the parts anymore. I'm not really sure what next steps are other than to wait but I'm getting annoyed.

I was going to buy some parts before spring but I want to wait until this is fixed

How are they not making parts anymore?

Toyota dealers are such morons when it comes to the Supra. Of course they still make the parts, all bmw parts that are still used in a ton of cars.

Yeah idk, his explanation didnt make sense to me but not like Im in contact with Toyota to understand. I need to start pushing now or maybe I should go to another Toyota dealership/email Toyota directly. Its absurd to go a month without any real resolution in sight.

Go to another dealer. If its out of warranty just go to BMW.

Its still under warranty which is why I'm hesitant to do thing myself.

Just go to another dealer. They will still have to honor your warranty.

I tried this route. BMW (at least the dealer I tried) won’t touch the Supra. BMW ISTA won’t work, it’s got to be Toyota ISTA.

Dont want to hijack OP but dont want to make a new post either.

Small disappointing update: called toyota directly where they made a ticket that got escalated to corporate. Found out the dealership had out of date part numbers listed and were given the correct numbers.... but the parts are out of stock. Smh
