I have a 2009 LTZ with 10,000km....basically still a new truck. Had to go to a wedding (250km away) this weekend and unfortunatley it was storming out with really icy roads. So I thought, no prob I'll just take the truck and we'll be fine. Well, didn't even make it out of the city before I turned around and came home. I went to put it in AUTO 4wd, and nothing. Blinking light on the knob for a couple minutes, check engine light, then the infamous "Service 4 wheel drive." *sigh* Haven't even used the damn 4 wheel drive and the first time I need it....nothing. I tried the selector switch in different positions, turned the truck off and waited for a few minutes and tried again....nothing. What a piece of junk, literally. This truck has been nothing but trouble from day 1. And going to the dealer for warranty work is like getting a root canal. Now I have to go back to the dealer for the 6th time and try and get them to fix it. I have three dealers in my city and they are all so busy that you have to wait at least 1.5 weeks to get your vehicle in...and then they give it back to you hours and hours later with a slap in the face by saying "we can't replicate" "we couldn't find anything wrong" "these trucks make lots of funny noises, live with it" "turn the radio up louder and you won't hear the noise" "just drive it for a while and see if it gets better" ...yep, heard it all. I have never had so much regret about a purchase and am seriously considering dumping this truck. If I can't rely on it and/or it's going to be a constant headache with problems then I'm gone. I'll pay the premium for a Tundra and be on my way. In any case, this truck is my last domestic vehicle. period. Anyway, ended up taking the Jetta TDI and it performed like a champ, as always.
