I took the pickup to Western Slope Toyota for the throttle recall and asked them to check the wheel bearings as I was hearing a slight rumble sound. Service took 4 times as long as their estimate and I was very agitated when it was finally finished. Nothing was noted on the service order when given to the cashier so I had her call the Service dept. but no one answered. She left and returned in a few minutes saying the mechanic said it was tire noise. Stock tires not worn much. They did not even do a test drive as the trip odometer showed only 4/10 mile since fill up and the Station is 2/10 mile from the dealer. Needless to say I was pissed and have not returned to this dealer.
Too busy to deal with their BS the warranty ran out. 9/2/2016 the truck mileage was just 40000. I replaced the right rear wheel bearing and contacted Toyota [Incident: 160901-000215]. What a joke.Lady very polite but like a robot repeats "I'm sorry" a dozen times but Toyota has no plan to repair or pay for anything. Toyota TSB on bearing failure in 2007 and reissued later even as late as 2010. This should be a factory recall not a TSB. You sell a defective product you repair it "no charge". I will file another complaint as 3000 miles later the right front wheel bearing failed and now a slight rumble is coming from the left front. Terrible quality control and worse customer service.
