While entering the freeway, pressing the accelerator to merge, the truck stumbled as if lost all power for a full 4 to 5 seconds causing me to miss my chance to merge and pull over to the shoulder and wait for a clearing. it has done this several times but not this bad and this time i had my kids in the truck. there is a technical bulletin for this but my dealership will not perform it if they can't duplicate it.
I started having problems with the vehicle shifting from 4th or 5th gear when attempting to reach highway speeds which in this area is 70 mph. the truck would stick and the rpms would go above 3000 rpm. i had toyota of midland look at this on 03/07/19. in april i contacted toyota corporate and told them of the problem and they assigned case #1904152129 and sent a corporate representative here on 04/24/19. the corporate rep, along with a local technician, hooked up a computer and rode with me and witnessed the shifting problem. the corporate rep. said that this wasn't any fault of the vehicle and the local techinician said that his 2017 tacoma was doing the same thing. on 01/22/2020 i brought my tacoma in for it's 30k maintance and told the sevice writer about this issue again. the service writer said that he had experienced the same thing when he owned a 2017 & 2019 tacoma, and remeded the problem when he traded for a 2020 tacoma.. this is my families 5th toyota vehicle; it will be my last toyota.
Transmission does not engage (slips) in first gear from a cold start up. i am concerned this defect may cause an unsafe situation in the future.
Transmission fails to start off in 1st gear especially when under a load such as a/c on during a hot day. also constantly shifting from 6th to 4th then holding 4th for a short duration then shifting to 5th and immediate back to 6th then starts the process over again. i have verified this is the case with even new 2018 models the dealer and toyota state this is normal operation. the issue is we never know when it is going to occur. we can drive from light to light and sometimes it leaves in first from a complete stop and other times it does not. this is dangerous when making unprotected turns in front of traffic. the most recent occurrence i was making a left turn in front of traffic and the vehicle refused to accelerate at the normal rate with the throttle near the floor it eventually grabbed first gear and began to accelerate normally just in time to avoid a collision. as stated this issue is more apparent in the summer heat of las vegas nv. fellow consumers suggest that i invest in a 3rd party "tune" that resolves this erratic shifting behavior but the cost is ...
Tacoma rear differential leak - my 2017 toyota tacoma is leaking fluid from my rear differential. currently there is toyota recall on 2016 and some 2017 toyota tacoma models.
My truck makes a loud thud sound when accelerating from a dead stop, slowing down to a dead stop, and slowing down fast from higher speeds from 70-25. this happens multiple times a day. i'm fearing for my life and am not in financial position to get another car. please look into this quickly. thank you
At 1,200 miles i am noticing a howling noise in the interior (although sounds like transmission) as transmission changes gears at highway speeds of 55-65 mph.
I was making left turn crossing traffic rolling almost to a stop ,pressed on gas and truck did not move and paused about 2 seconds and took off across intersection and oncoming truck had to brake hard to avoid hitting me.i contacted dealer and test drove with tech. could not duplicate incident and told other like problems reported to dealer ,ran tests and reported no problem found. also reported to them turning left up steep driveway truck transmission shifts and lunges forward and accelerates
My tacoma has 17000 miles on it. here lately i've been hearing a chirping noise coming from the engine bay. it doesn't start right away so i know it's not a pulley or a belt. i don't drive the truck hard because let's face it, it's powertrain isn't the greatest and shifts like a kid learning to drive a stick. im sure the chirping noise is the high pressure fuel pump in the engine bay. for awhile thought it was normal until another tacoma pulled up and it wasn't doing the same noise at all even asked the guy if his a/c was on to make sure we had the same setting. his was also a 2017 off road tacoma
The transmission in this truck shifts erratically. the first second shift alternates between extremely slow and harsh enough to make the truck buck and shake. because of this shift issue power applied at low speeds is inconsistent. the transmission searches for gear at highway speeds and downshifts excessively. the transmission issues started at approximately 2000 miles on the vehicle and are ongoing. the issues occur at speeds from 2mph through 75mph these issues make the vehicle unpredictable and more difficult to control. additonaly the u bolts holding the axle onto the vehicle were not torqued properly from the factory. the bolts were torqued to approximalty 30 ftlbs, not the 52 ftlbs toyota specifies, which caused axle wrap issues and made the transmission issues listed above worse.
Transmission does this on a random basis it is too quick to upshift causing the engine to bog down. -transmission causes the tuck to lurch forward at low speeds. -shifting from r to d on a hill can sometimes cause the truck to roll back as if the truck was in neutral -in general, the transmission is inconsistent in operation. in the same situation, it may react differently -during hard acceleration after you let up on the gas, the engine rpm's will stay high and slowly come back down. if you press the gas again during this time the transmission will either cause the engine to rev but the truck won't accelerate or will slam into a gear causing the truck to lurch. it also does this randomly the transmission being slow to downshift to a lower gear when trying to accelerate or it would upshift to a higher gear while accelerating/merging resulting in an unexpected change in acceleration.the vehicle will also "noticeably" down shift while the foot is off the accelerator resulting in an unexpected change in deceleration. the problem seems to be getting worse and now the shifting is starting to jolt the vehicle. while driving ...
Vehicle was in motion trying to accelerate from a slow speed to a higher speed entering a high speed road. the truck failed to accelerate and would not go over 20 miles an hour. i had to swerve off the road to avoid an accident. the truck was towed to toyota since its under warranty. it was diagnosed and was told i have one of several trucks out there that have this computer issue the causes this. i was told they do not have a fix for this but they could get it operating correctly but its still not fixed and may happen again. i mentioned i almost got into a car accident and i don't feel safe driving it until it is fixed. toyota said they have to release the car to me since its operating correctly now even though the problem isn't fixed. i learned from them they have more trucks with the same problem and they are working on a solution but don't have one yet. they offer no other solution or resolution at this time. i don't feel this is right since to me its more of a life safety issue. i feel they should ...
It doesn't track straight at 45+mph , under powered, cruise is lost shifts erratic an. 16-18mpg running 91oct....etc
Transmission constant hunting/ shifting.
