Mine was an 08, so not the first model year, I doubt they changed the seals between the years... I think you ask for too much if you think a car will not have any problems the first few years you have it... tho those issues should be covered for free (which mine was)... it wasn't even the dealer I bought it from... so any dealer should cover the seal unless you're past your 36/36 period

Although mine is also an '08 I put almost 30k on it in one year with no problems or leaks what so ever. I only recently took it to a dealer for the very first time since driving it away from one when I purchased it to have the a/c evap. replaced under a TSB-which I learned about from this forum. Besides, anything to do with the drivetrain-engine/tranny is covered for 5years or 60k miles. Things happen I wouldn't put too much weight into it especially since it did not strand you some where off the side of the road.

I had the same issue at 48.000 Miles left axle seal was leaking, I found out while changing mi fog light bulbs, it’s quite easy to notice. I consider it as normal wear, sometimes there is a bad batch of seals, and the rubber hardens prematurely. The dealer fixed it under warranty. I hope no other seals are like thins one...

I have 120 k and after an oil change and tire rotation by ntb, I started getting a thumping sound coming front driver side tire I could feel thru the floor board. I pulled the tire off and there were no issues. Spun the tire and it was smooth. Nothing under the breaks, etc. A fried seems to think it may be an Axel joint. Is this covered under the bumper to bumper? Also, not sure what the warrant period is. I have had it for 4.3 years (2007) Will toyota look at it for a charge or should I take it back to ntb?
