Sorry - try the links again (previously restricted access).
Other issues:
-Noticed intermittently that when I lightly press the gas pedal at low speeds <10mph and RPM around 1K-2K (think stop and go traffic/rolling a stop sign), there is a noticeable jolt/kick back from the transmission. I've brought it up to the dealer on 3 separate occasions but never able to replicate at time of service. They've run the diagnostics each time and everything "checks out." This is something I noticed 500 miles in and had them look at it when they did the alignment at 600 miles (was previously misaligned from factory).
-Steering wheel "pings" when turning (another member suggested it could be the 'Clock spring')
-ML sound system rattles
-Rear windows sometimes stops half way when I either auto up or auto down

Ref: ML sound system rattle. Ours had a "bad" front center dash speaker. It revealed itself during "surround" mode, but otherwise behaved. It was a distortion of certain frequencies which sounded like a "buzz." The dealer replaced the AMP first, but that wasn't it.

Check to see if water draining thru any seal in door, windows,moonroof. Just happened to me today that 2014 gx460 wire harnesses destroyed by moonroof drain tube plugged. 98k miles. $16,000 to repair! Insurance claim denied as they claim damage fr water cause by our failure to maintain!!! That car was spotless and had every bit of maintenance documented!!! No where in maintenance list does it say drain plugs should be checked.

Today the Toyota Dealer who diagnosed my 2014 GX460 $16,000 water damage issue offered us $4000 for my car as a trade-in.So….Sunday my 2014 GX460 w 98k mi was worth perhaps $24-$25,000. ( was in excellent condition.). Three days later it’s worth maybe $4000 - if I buy a new car from them. No words!

If my conscious would let me, I’d park my GX near the Ferris wheel in downtown Myrtle Beach, with the windows open (if I could get them to open!) , with the keys on the driver’s seat.

I bought it new and have never opened the moonroof, however, today I got a few drips inside the vehicle on the rear of the moonroof. I noticed it because one of them fell off and hit my arm which was sitting on the arm rest.
Should I be concerned? I did open it today and cleaned all of the seals and surfaces I could find that it seals on but I can’t say I’m thrilled about it and it’s one reason I never wanted a moonroof in a vehicle.
