I have only 69,276 miles on the truck but it's out of warranty apparently. On highway driving the problem…

On long trips where the vehicle is driven for several miles in one gear it is extremely difficult to pull it out of 4th, 5th or 6th gear in order to change gears. This resulted in dangerous speed control issues (both too fast and too slow for traffic) while driving on mountainous highways. The problem and its repair are exactly described on toyota service bulletin tsb-0088-16. In my opinion the bulletin should be…

The rear differential is misaligned and the current solution doesn't resolve the noise. I'm afraid excessive wear is happening and issue will arise much sooner

Transfer case gets stuck in 4 lo. Seems that toyota is producing defective accuators that , once put in 4lo wont shift back to normal driving state. In this gear, truck runs 35 mph at 4000 rpm making it unsafe for highway driving and leaving consumers stranded. Repair cost over $2300.

I have received two recall notices on my 2016 toyota tacoma limited pickup truck. The second notice was in july, 2017. I have not yet been able to have the recalls done because the parts are not available from toyota yet. The recalls could effect the drivability of the truck which makes me hesitant to use if for long distance travel.

Toyota recall -- received notice of recall and took truck to local dealer june 22, 2017 i was advised the it failed the rear differential leak, and i was informed of a new recall for the crank shaft but neither could be fixed due to no parts.

Toyota impounded my 2016 vehicle over 3 weeks ago on a recall and the dealer and corporate have told me on a few occasions that the parts would be in in a couple of days. Now they are telling me they really have no idea when they are going to receive the parts for the recall. This is completely unacceptable. They are telling the consumer that they have no choice in the matter. My truck is paid for and i want it…

Toyota recalled my 2016 tacoma for rear differential leak safety recall. After dropping my truck off today they said they would be able to repair it if they get the parts from toyota, which they said could take months. My question is, why should they inconvenience me for months to repair my vehicle. Toyota required me to leave my vehicle at the dealership because it is a safety recall. They did provide me with a…
