I have suffered a 3rd Gen failure

It is with a heavy heart I come to you today.
I am distressed, distraught and completely beside myself with angst. I don't know if I can go on.

My radio volume knob is loose.
It has not completely failed, but I'm sure it will soon.

I'm sure my resale was completely in the toilet to begin with, but now.....this.
12,743 miles without a single issue. Until now. It can only mean the end is near.

My spirit is broken.
I'm looking at Rams.

Pray for me brothers.

Now you did it. The jinx is in play. Engine failure sure to follow.....

 

This thread has been a long time coming! So happy for you guys!

 

ya, I had to hurry up and post to see if I could actually beat the gen 2 guys to this thread title, HA

 

I knew I could count on you!

 

I vote for this to be "Thread of the month" !

 

Check for TSBs

 

Well you guys made me laugh…thanks for the post.

Incidentally my Radio knob came off about 4 weeks ago…been too busy to take it to the dealer but figured out creative work arounds until I can (“Hey Toyota” does a lot of things I have discovered).

 

Mine's still working, sort of. I have to treat it like it's made of thin glass that could shatter at any moment.

This is after a year of treating it like the cheap plastic that it is.
I KNEW it could break, so I was careful with it, and it broke anyway.

I'm probably just going straight to the aftermarket solution.

 

Don't panic folks, I have it on good authority from top engineering people inside Toyota, (Thank you Sheldon) that this problem only affects a small number of Tundras.

They have isolated it to any that were painted Blueprint and live in MN and adjacent states (Canada included).

 

don't feel bad I traded my 23 for a 24 for the same reason...well the radio knob in my 23 did fail...

 

I hate it when a knob falls off, or for even having a failing knob for that matter. I'm gonna never touch my knob and hope it never falls off. On the other hand, if my wife touches my knob she knows the consequences. Just saying.

 

I'm sure this is the root of the problem.
Gen 3 owners touch their knobs too much.

 

In Minnesota, it's illegal to touch your knob while driving.

 

"First hand" experience DRP?

 

And in Alabama, only family can touch your knob while driving

 

"Left hand" if you must know......

 

Nope, didn't need to, but hey, now we all do.

 

Do you have to sign a consent at the dealer that their technician can touch your knob for performing, uhm, a warranty knob job?

 

Another reason not to go to the dealer.
Will be performing my own knob job, thank you very much.

 

Funny you went there - my son's club team is the Regulators and WarrenG was in Vegas when we were there for a tournament in April. Coach's wife threw a jersey they made for Warren on the stage with a note and picture of the team - Warren posted this yesterday -

That why I moved away from Minnesota, Nothing to do with the weather
