New V8 cruiser utes

I'm sure they would be more than interested in finding any possible problem given the level of investment that must be tied up in the development of the V8.

There has been a couple of posts about noisy injectors causing a knock when cold, wonder if this is the same issue??

Isn't this a good news story??

".......Toyota are looking for the cause and solution if it is a manufacturing problem. Toyota are not ducking at all and appear to want to get to the bottom of the problem early, that is if it is their problem or operator error."

Many companies, including 4WD manufacturers regularly have an initial response of 'not our problem'.

I've owned many different vehicles over the past 35 odd years. The last 2 have been Toyota. I've found Toyota's warranty support to be excellent.

My previous Toyota (05 Hilux) was not perfect. It had 3 significant problems in it's first 3 years (clutch, CV Joint and rear wheel bearing). Rather than turn me off, Toyota's response under warranty made me an even bigger fan. All problems fixed without argument. The last one (wheel bearing), was after the warranty had expired, but was still fixed under warranty.

You say you are reliably informed that 4 utes have had the same problem in Australia. Not disputing that, but there are a number of owners of this vehicle on this and other forums (including me). Most carry and tow big loads, so are seriously testing the vehicle. Problems I'm aware of that have been reported so far reported are:

-some burn oil for first 20 to 30,000 KM, then seem to settle
-some develop a 'diesel knock' when cold, which goes away once warm (is this possibly the problem you are reporting?).

I've had neither of these problems so far and hope that remains the case.

4 toy-yodas, out of how many are there on the road currently, its pretty good.
They were probably made on a Monday morning, or Friday afternoon.
