He does cut others hair though!! Not mine!!!
I took it in last month with a print out of this forum including the post with a part number. They agreed that the bass sounded bad but said no one else had complained. They copied this forum and said they'd get back to me. I called in a week. No progress. I suggested they call JBL. I waited. I called in a week. No progress. JBL didn't know they said. They didn't want to order a new amp because the part number is the same as the current amp. They suggested I wait until a service bulletin surfaced. I said fine. That same day I logged on to the Toyota website and sent Toyota a complaint. In short my message was that the stereo in my '01 TLC stinks, I know there is a fix, my dealer can't or won't find it, please help them.
Ta Dah! My dealer calls and says that their service guys went to a "class" and learned how to fix the problem. My new amp is now on order!
Squeaky wheel gets greased. Politely take your stereo complaint to a level above your local dealer and I bet you will see results. I used the Toyota customer website (http://owners.toyota.com/) Others from this forum have called regional service managers.
I waited quietly for a month and got nothing. I complained to the the national customer satisfaction center and my amp was on order in 48 hrs.
I also see my dealer posting a "southeast toyota administrative fee of $550 plus the Delivery,processing fee of $505. Any one know what gives? Dianne??
anyone also familair with a recall on the A/C belt (or something?)
thanks for any advice on these matters.
It could mean that your tranny kickdown cable needs adjusting. Again, very common.
It could mean that the birfields/driveplates up front are worn, which allows movement noticeable when the gas is applied and let off. This is another common problem that occurs when the birfields are not greased on the splines.
I would pop off the cover on the front hubs and see if there is any grease on the birfield splines where the driveplate resides. Add grease here.
Also grease the driveshafts, but not too much as vibration will result. Look over the u-joints while you're at it.
Lastly take a look at the kickdown cable adjustment. Consider purchasing a shop manual for your vehicle. Haynes at the very least, but the factory manual is the best.
Thanks
sorry . . . that should have been tlc, not tic . . . .
When it's all done the cost will be similar to installing ARB lockers.
and they last. Look over this and I hope it helps.

Their service department probably practices the "smoke and mirrors" approach to repairs too.
Good luck!
