We have only had our used Land Cruiser 5 days. My wife has been using it to go to work and back and this morning once she got to work she sends me a text with a photo saying that certain dash lights were on as she was driving to work. I asked her to send me a photo of the lights. As I got the photo to my utter shock, it was the Center diff lock that was engaged. She said she had noticed it since backing it out of the driveway which leads me to believe she accidently push it.
After banning her from further use of the Land Cruiser, I head to her work to pick up and take to our local Toyota dealer to assess any damage that may have been done. She said she didn't feel it drive any differently, but this woman is oblivious to reality. It's all city driving with multiple left and right turns to head to her job.
After getting it checked by the Toyota dealer they said the only thing they found an issue with was the front and rear differential fluid which they said looked "a little smokey". They changed the fluid and they said the cv axles were good.
The crazy thing is we had a 4th gen 4Runner with a similar 4 wheel drive system. She accidentally hit the CDL on that vehicle and damaged the cv axles enough to replace them. You'd think she learned her lesson after that ordeal.
