Yes, that was me. Left my car there all day, and got a ride to work.

I've been waiting since early October for parts to arrive.

I tried some Lucas oil/safeguard and so far it greatly reduced the chirp. It's either not coming up or is chirping very softly. Mine were so obnoxious. will update more later

Yeah, the ride to work is that part that kills me. But only 2 weeks left at this job, so we'll see. Carlsbad already has some of my parts in. I'll see if they have a better estimate of time to complete now that they have one under their belt.

BTW, your avatar makes me happy. Every time I see it, I hear "Yeah I know, there's a problem with your face."

I'm a reasonable guy, I've just experienced some very unreasonable things.

FYI, the lucas oil/safeguard works, at least for me. Most of the time, i notice that the chirp went away. There are times where it does come back, but a very low chirp. It's not totally fool-proof, but working well so far.

This is exactly what I bought. Walmart has it for $9.

Just noticed the chirping came back after less than a month, looks like a trip back to Toyota

dawnst3ar · 12-18-2012, 03:21 PM

Service rep just called. Toyota is refusing to pay to replace the fuel system again. On the phone with them now. Starting to get a little angry, to be honest.

Time to contact corporate and let them know.

alrashwa · 12-18-2012, 03:46 PM

They're probly too busy paying fines for floor mat recalls to pay for your part

dawnst3ar · 12-18-2012, 03:52 PM

Opened a case with corporate, will see what they say over the next day or so....

frs23 · 12-18-2012, 04:56 PM

Good luck! Also time to go to another nearby dealership if possible.

Darryljr11 · 12-18-2012, 06:00 PM

My chirps are back too. Considering finding another dealer to do service with

Corporate just called - they consider this normal behavior now, and they are refusing to do a replacement. I am awaiting a call from a supervisor, and will possibly take this into arbitration from there if he/she cannot satisfy me.
