I bought this truck as a Certified Used Vehicle. No issues during the test drive. Several days later the suspension started to squeak. I took it to the dealership, they said it was sand in the suspension. I sprayed it out and while it was wet, the noise went away. After it dried, it came back. I sprayed WD40 on it which fixed it for about 2 days. I went back to the dealership and explained the problem, they said there was nothing they could do. I have been dealing with this for almost 7 months now and stopped back by the dealership today. Now they say they do have silencing pads but neither the parts or labor would be covered under warranty. Very disappointing to hear since this isn't a wear and tear issue. This is a Toyota issue! If I had an option for squeaky suspension or Non-squeaky suspension when I bought it, I would have gone with Non-squeaky suspension. It is utterly rediculous that Toyota is refusing to correct this "KNOWN" problem. This is just a simple stupid fix that wouldn't cost much to the company to satisfy their customers. But instead, they would rather try to dig deeper in your pockets. This squeaking noise is HIGHLY ANNOYING. So much so, that I don't think I will buy another Toyota. Especially since they refuse to cover the quick cheap fixes that irritate the customers the most. I now fear they won't cover more serious issues if they were to arise.
