I forgot to mention one problem,, the odo registers nearly 3% too high. If
not fixed that would mean the car could be showing 36,000 miles with
warranty expired and only having 35,000 miles. Is this a simple fix or
require a gear change?
tnx

Compared to what? And 3% is in the allowable margin of error. No fix at
all. There isnt a problem

Compared to Interstate Highway milepost markers. This may be no problem for
you or Toyota but it sure is for me because it has the potential to lose a
1000 miles of warranty. I wonder how many read low so the buyer gets an
extra 1000 miles of warranty?

Why not double check with a GPS unit vice the road markers.

Why even care? A thousand miles is chicken sh.t in the grand scheme of
things.

Actually I had a Taurus with a serious problem 85 miles out of warranty. I
pointed out to them that the car had 150 miles on it when delivered because
it had been traded from another dealer otherwise I might have been out of
luck.
