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

I bought a toyota tacoma thinking i was purchasing a rough tuff truck. It is by far the weakest truck/car i have ever driven. It has no power, cannot pull more than an inflatable raft, down shifts if a butterfly flies in front of the truck. Gas mileage is pathetic, my kids 2004 ford ranger has twice the power and can carry and tow three times as much as the toyota. The truck is pathetic! Shame on you for selling me…

The rental is not usable of my work and the defect in truck was not my fault. I don't see why i should pay for something…

Engine stalls when attempting rapid acceleration when engine rpm is less than 3000. This is a safety issue. I recently attempted rapid acceleration when making a left turn to avoid a collision where an oncoming driver ran a red light. The engine stalled. I have experienced other similar incidents. I have reported this to my toyota service center twice. The first time i was told toyota is aware of the condition,…

Noticing that as i come to a stop at the last second the drivetrain seems to snap out of gear causing a very loud clunk at this point the vehicle seems to free wheel forward unsafely. . The jolt you get can be compared to putting the vehicle into gear at too high of an idol, which will cause premature wear and tear to your drivetrain. Also, the engine seems to surge at idol while in gear and if you aren't ready for…

While driving my tacoma at freeway speed, i accidentally hit the gearshift forward into neutral. This caused the engine to shut off, losing power assist to the steering, braking, etc. Every warning light on the dash began to flash including low oil pressure, high trans temp, etc. I also recreated this problem at a later time (after i figured out what had happened) and it was the same result--the trucks motor died…
