Heard valves tapping alot of time. reported and took to toyota. they said no code no work. they gave the line of when this gas hits this part then this one tries to catch up or burn excess fuel. out of 40 plus years and puchasing many vehicle i never been told that before. i talked to other 2017 owners and they dont have this issue. also the brakes make metalic clunking noises moving backwars and fowrds when braking. thier answer was floating valves. and again this issue isnt on other tacomma owners. i tryed three times with valve issues. same old line no code no work. maybe pads are worn but still have 70 % left on pads

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

Engine boggs down loses rpm's during driving of vehicle on hwy and streets.

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 such a weak shameful truck.

Transmission constant hunting/ shifting.

When decelerating at any given time vehicle loses compression at he brake pedals and feels as if though vehicle is thrusting and losing power to engine. and also when slowing down when speed reaches 20 mph, vehicle can be felt almost wanting stall.

My 2017 truck was recalled and i am currently driving a rental. they my truck might take up to 8 weeks to fix, its been close to 4 weeks so far. i use my truck for work and am currently losing wages because i don't have the truck. why do i need to make monthly payments for the truck i don't have? 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 i don't have. i have asked the dealership about this matter and they said to continue payments because i am using a free rental. thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you soon.

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, which would be addressed in a software update. the second time i was told my engine was operating within normal specification parameters, and no such software update was forthcoming. it was raining the day i bought this vehicle, so it was not possible to test low end acceleration. i would never have bought this vehicle had i known low end acceleration was so lethargic. on several occasions it has nearly gotten me killed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 toyota tacoma. while driving 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact stated that the vehicle stopped moving abruptly and came to a rolling stop on the side of the road. the check engine, low oil pressure, and high transmission temperature warning indicators illuminated. the contact was able to restart the vehicle, but it failed to accelerate. the vehicle was towed to toyota of nashua, new hampshire (located on marmon dr, 03060) but the dealer could not diagnose the failure. the contact was given a loaner vehicle. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the failure mileage was 1,500. the vin was not available.

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 it and you are parking behind something, you run the risk of hitting it.. i have addressed the drivetrain issue with the dealer, but they say they can't get this to happen for them. very interesting considering there seems to be others with similar issues.
