Dealer and Toyota Canada pissing me off !!!!!!
I have a 2001 Rav4 AWD with the rear limited slip differentail.
Since 2 years ago, I started getting this problem with the differential. When the car is warmed up, I get this very loud growling noise from the differential when I accelerate with the wheels turned.
I brought the car in many times...all the dealer could tell me is that I need to use a synthetic differential fluid to get rid of the noise, but this is not a specification of the 2001 Rav4. Rav4 should only require normal differential fluid. They don't know why but that's the only solution. The dealer said they consulted with Toyota Canada and this is the only reported case.
I called Toyota Canada and ask them to reimburse me on the difference on the normal and synthetic fluid. Well, guess what??? They said "no", because fluid is part of maintenance, even though toyota specific fluid doesn't work well, I have to pay for the difference.
Does anyone have a differential problem like me??
What can I do? :x
And I hated how the girl from Toyota spoke to me...she told me that they don't know why I have the problem and they are not going to help identify the problem nor pay for it.
