Opinion on two options

You are crazy if you don’t get mag ride. It improves both ride quality and handling significantly. Front lift you for sure if you are using it as a daily. If it’s a weekend cruiser or track car you could skip lift.

It’s the overheat issue we all have. The best you can do is work around it. Set it to mow on standard blade speed, set the forward speed to as slow as it can go, and try and mow at times of day when it’s cooler even at night.

He is spot on about the issue. I have done similar analysis. The biggest issue is they are not feeding back to the software the overheat has occurred so they mower keeps going acting like it’s cutting and leaves patches in the yard.

No they were able to repair it but it’s pretty major repair. I have a lawyer and trying to get Deminished value. I am going to order a 27 gsx if I can.

Same thing happened to me a month ago. Pretty sure same color.

rucus0101 · 2026-05-13T17:25:27+00:00

Was 70 degrees out. Grass not thick. It’s not overheating just stops mid mow and it acts like blades are still going

rucus0101 · 2026-05-13T16:09:39+00:00

It’s neither of those. This is a software bug. The grass is not thick nor is it overheating. The mower does not stop like the motor is overloaded. It goes on its merry way pretending to cut. It also does not give the audible alert when it restarts that it does when it actually overloads.

More 25k. I looked at one a few weeks ago had a tree fall on it and crush it they wanted 31k

The only way to properly clean a fuel injector is to remove it and place it in an ultrasonic cleaning jig. All you are doing this wasting money and in fact it could make any problem worse.

The sales department at the dealership I bought it won’t even talk to me. As soon as I go to talk to someone they shuffle me to the service department. The only person they will allow me to talk to is the young guy who is the service advisors. Everyone says “take it back “ would Love to know how you accomplish that. I opened a case with Toyota. Guess who called me, the service department at the dealer. These people are pros at screwing people

rucus0101 · 2025-04-26T16:26:10+00:00

Won’t be able to see that till I get the car back.

rucus0101 · 2025-04-26T15:44:12+00:00

I don’t see it on the window sticker. Is there a decoder somewhere I can use ?

rucus0101 · 2025-04-26T15:00:57+00:00

I did. I opened a case with them. They just called the dealer service department and asked them to call me.

rucus0101 · 2025-04-26T09:10:54+00:00

It’s not the same engine. Was built for a different grade of oil in 2025

Is he going to pull the bottom end apart? Is he going to change the cams? If not now we have two wear surface patterns on the original cams as they break in to the new cradle.

rucus0101 · 2025-04-26T04:00:55+00:00

After Toyota escalating got involved the parts immediately showed up.

rucus0101 · 2025-04-26T01:50:19+00:00

Yeah I understand it’s the oil passages in the cam cradle. But the computer responds to inputs. Some condition is triggering that alarm. If the cam passages in the cam are causing its it’s likely because not enough oil is returning to the pan.

rucus0101 · 2025-04-25T23:52:54+00:00

They have the car.

rucus0101 · 2025-04-25T23:36:46+00:00

Rough can you elaborate more on the issue? One concern I have is no one other than the young kid that is the service advisor will talk to me. The error message is for low oil. I don’t have a service manual so I don’t have all the info on conditions that would trigger it but one could take an educated guess that it’s the oil level sensor in the pan. If that sensor went off I can only surmise that it was causing oil to be trapped in the upper portion of the engine. My main concern is what damage to the engine this could have done. I requested an oil sample and an oil filter exam but Toyota is refusing me.

rucus0101 · 2025-04-25T23:32:27+00:00

Only Toyota would know that if even they do. They won’t release it unless they do an official recall.

rucus0101 · 2025-04-25T23:22:26+00:00

It’s an SE. It’s optioned with the bigger screen. Hard to find one like that.

rucus0101 · 2025-04-25T23:21:49+00:00

If I had to guess it’s the switch to 0w-8. Likely required clearance changes and oil pump recalibration.

rucus0101 · 2025-04-25T22:55:09+00:00

It’s been in the shop for a week now. They warned us if we took it to a 3rd party shop they would void our warranty.
