Links to those videos? I find it odd how a newer car would have enough body flex to affect performance.

I would but "What's a TSB?" He mocked me as he asked his Supervisor. His Supervisor looked me in the eye
The only TSB were for 2013 and older, mine was 2014, couldn't find any updated TSB's.

BUT there's no issues at all so they didn't wanna pull up TSBs...
Mentioned the windows and clutch squeak also...no issues...My dashcam doesn't show if they actually checked the windows..

Yup, I mentioned it to them a few times, it's just annoying in the summer. My friend who bought his a month before mine has no issues.

Or replace the pump?

It might be normal, but it's still annoying.

My car is a 2014 and Toyota is replacing my fuel pump for free with the revised design.

Which is throwing parts and labor at the car with no expected benefit. Precisely what I said the first time.

I strongly considered the Apex ARC-8s when I was looking for wheels and they have another group buy ending soon. They're a local company too.
