G'day all, just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar to this? and if you would be satisfied with the advice from my dealer.
We picked up a brand new GXL auto diesel about 6 weeks ago (2800kms now). Immediately I noticed a strange shudder only when cruising at around 60km/h. Have not noticed it at any other speed or rev range. Above about 65km/h and below 55km/h it disappears. Its a whole vehicle shudder that to me is coming from the engine/drive train. Definitely not coming coming from the front end.
Took it back to the dealer and mechanic jumped in for a test drive and confirmed the shudder, and that its not normal or anything he has felt before. Left it with them for a day and got the below report:
Test drove vehicle with guest this morning
Confirmed issue as pulsation of entire vehicle at 60kms when coasting
Checked over vehicle mechanically - nothing found
Lowered tyre pressures and retest drove - Same issue
Refilled Tyres
Test drove vehicle with diagnostic equipment
Tested transmission settings
Tested transfer flexi lock up settings
Tested 4wd settings
Tested torque converter settings
No change to vehicle during any of these tests
Have raised dealer product report with Toyota regarding issue.
We recommend driving vehicle as normal and monitoring issue - if it gets worse before 10k service come back.
Interested to hear if anyone else has had this issue with the current model, and what your thoughts are?
Cheers,
Sean
