Dear sir or madam: i purchased a 2010 toyota tacoma double cab 4x4 at the end of 2010. And within months of my purchase i noticed excessive corrosion under the vehicle taking place. I reported the problem to the dealership and my concerns were either dismissed or simply ignored.

This is a follow-up to odi numbers 10444039 & 10444967. After much work on my part, a toyota factory representative examined the vehicle in question on three separate occasions. The factory represenative was able to reproduce the occurence twice. The solution or guess at the time, was to replace the automatic transmission. This was done on 3/12/12. The problem still occurs. I have experienced and documented the…

Several months after purchasing my new vehicle (purchased 8/2010) i started to notice a shudder through the floor board and steering column. The shudder occurred sporatically and always at 20mph. It reminded me of driving over the rumble strips cut along freeways and prior to toll boths. The sudder occurs on upgrades, downgrades, turns, and flat roadways. A toyota dealership has worked on the vehicle several times…

Electrical System · Power Train · Vehicle Speed Control
Whenever slowing down from 25 mph to make a turn or just to slow up, when accelerator is again pushed down to speed up, the truck "hunts" for the proper gear, usually shifting to too low a gear for the speed needed (transmission/computer problem), causing vehicle to pause & not pick up speed. This causes a severe threat of being rear ended or hit in an intersection due to lack of acceleration. Dealers won't fix it…

Bought my 2010 tacoma used. Did not observe any issues during long test drive. Very next day began to notice auto transmission not finding correct gear after slowing then making a turn; does not happen when truck is brought completely to rest with pause before the turns. I also notice transmission shudder at times when slowing in straightline; feels same as clutch slip / stall with manual trans if gear too high for…

My 2010 tacoma, while sitting at a stop light, suddenly surges as if somebody hit the gas or slammed me in the rear. It hasn't pushed me beyond my brakes but it is very disturbing. I reported this to the toyota dealer and they said they couldn't reproduce it. It doesn't happen with any regularity, it just happens out of the blue. Additionally, when you go to very low speeds and make a sharp turn the rpms jump to…

The transmission, while driving, has a jerky shifting motion. Additionally, when stopped at lets say a red light, the transmission prior to driving away, will seem like it engages with an extreme jerking motion, almost feeling like you've been rear ended.
