I took the truck in for regular maintenance and was told they had to keep the truck for a recall. They gave me a loaner car but it has now been three weeks. No one can tell me when there will be a fix for this recall. Since leaving it a second recall has been issued and there is no fix for this one as well. 3 weeks is excessive by anyone's definition. Dealer won't return phone calls. Toyota corporate told me it was the dealers responsibility. What am I supposed to, lawyer-up?.

I have been experiencing noise that sounds like it's coming from under my truck bed and reduced propulsion. Roseville Toyota could not find anything wrong when I took it there for my first 3 services. So on 5/22/17 I took my truck to folsom lake Toyota and they told me about the rear diff leak NHTSA recall#17v-285 and inspected and found a leak. They told me I would receive a recall notice in the mail and when I do call them to order the parts. I called them when I got the notice in June and was told I'd be called when the parts are in and its 10/3/17 and they still do not have all the parts in and have not repaired my new 2016 Tacoma in a timely manner.

I took my truck to the dealer for recall no. 17v-285 on may 15, 2017. It remains there for 3 and half months with no date for completing the repair (due to part not available, I was told). During the wait, I received another recall notice, 17v-356. The length of the wait is unreasonable. I would like NHTSA to help the address and remedy the situation thank you.

I took my Tacoma to the dealer for regular oil/service, I was advised of a safety related recall (h0g) they advised me not to drive it until corrected, gave me a "loaner". I've yet to get an assessment and return date. The dealership seems to not be getting information from the corporate office. I contacted the corporate office to ask what my options were. (refund, replacement, etc) I told them I was aware of a "lemon law" . The rep got kind of short with me, said I would be hearing from their legal dept. After 2 weeks no response, I called back. They said it could be 30-45 days before getting a response. Concerns I have are: 1) my vehicle just setting there not being driven developing more problems I'll have to deal with. 2) a "black mark" on its resale value. 3) Toyota trying to force me into a "low ball" settlement. The dealer has been fair as possible so far but they seem to be in a void regarding the recall from their corporate office. I almost have the vehicle paid off and not looking forward starting over or getting involved in a legal proceeding. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I had planned to keep this vehicle for a long time, kept it garaged when not in use etc. Now after this recall and having had other issues in October 2016 such as "down level software", (I think it was corrected), attached work order, I don't really trust this vehicle as to "what else was missed on the plant floor" that I will be paying for in the future?? as far as I'm concerned Toyota mtrs.

This vehicle has a pronounced vibration in the gas pedal, floor and steering wheel between 2,000 and 2,400 rpm when the vehicle is in gear and under load. It also vibrates when in gear and at idle.

Vehicle is producing a howl during throttle feathering at 50-60mph. The sound is coming from the rear of the vehicle but Toyota has characterized as "normal operation". I have test driven other Tacoma vehicles of the same year but was not able to reproduce the sound.

Noticed my Tacoma being slow to down shift to a lower gear when trying to accelerate or it would up shift to a higher gear while accelerating/merging resulting in an unexpected change in acceleration. Also if riding between 20-40 mph the vehicle rides at a very low rpm (~1100) and shimmies the vehicle like it will stall. 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 at constant speeds the vehicle will randomly surge high in rpms then come right back down. The vehicle is presenting unsafe conditions. Took the vehicle to the dealer multiple times. 1st time they topped off the transmission fluid as it was low from the factory. 2nd time they are aware of the issue and others were having it as well and the transmission ecu was re-flashed. This still did not resolve the problem. Brought the vehicle back a 3rd time and they didn't see a problem with the vehicle. Brought it back a 4th time to be seen by a field specialist and the issue could be duplicated but there is no fix at this time because the vehicle is operating as designed. Vehicle currently has less than 2500 miles on it. Not sure why you would design a vehicle to do this.

When we are driving either on city roads or on highway, either in sports mode and automatic there is a lag in the way the engine will shift into gears. In sports mode the lag in gear shift is ridiculously long when it should shift quicker. As for automatic there is also a slow response in shifting whether going up a hill as well as going down a hill. We have 5000 miles on this truck and would have thought it would be broken in by now.

Vehicle lunges like a bucking bronc at wot from stop or rolling start. If it was a carbureted vehicle (pre-computer days) I would check timing, carburetor jets,fuel filter,etc. Seems to be a little better in sport mode or ect in drive.

Truck abruptly lost complete power and stalled while driving on a rural two lane road at approximately 40 mph. Requires a tow truck to take the vehicle to the dealership. Dealership reported a failed crankshaft sensor and replaced it.

Transmission has hesitation when first going in forward or reverse, once your driving the transmission is constantly shifting searching for gears until you get up to cruising speed of 50-60 mph. In city driving transmission shift to quickly and boggs down the engine and then shift right back down and gear and does this constantly at lower speeds, been doing this since I purchased the truck on August 28 2016.

The contact owns a 2016 Toyota Tacoma. While driving at low speeds and turning the steering wheel, the rpms would increase to approximately 200-300. The failure would cause the vehicle to surge. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was low on transmission fluid. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was determined that the transmission software needed to be re-flashed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was determined that the vehicle was operating properly. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 1,863.

The contact owns a 2016 Toyota Tacoma. While driving approximately 40 to 65 mph, the vehicle randomly upshifted and/or downshifted and accelerated or decelerated on its own. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the dealer and a software update was performed. The issue recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000.

Chirping noise comes and goes. Very loud. Also a constant clicking. Anything that makes noise like that will fail soon. Also had a grinding noise while in four wheel drive on beach and truck started to lose power. Grinding went away but happens often.

Transmission has a flare,shudder, jerky and clunk. I have been dealing with it since 07-16-2016.

Manual transmission is hard to shift out of 4th, 5th, and 6th gear after extended highway driving. Issue seems to more present when driving up an incline after driving in stop an go traffic.

Vehicle has a noticeable delay and abrupt shifting when changing from reverse to drive. The delay in shifting from reverse to drive feels dangerous because it often causes the vehicle to lurch forward unexpectedly. My vehicle currently has 4000 miles on it. I have contacted the dealer regarding this problem, they have said that this behavior is normal.

Shifting from reverse to drive there is a delay so when I go to take off it slams into drive.

This Toyota Tacoma is always trying to shift up or down. I found where Toyota says it is always looking for a new shift point to keep the mileage up. This transmission shifts very hard with power reduction and is trying to up shift. When you are trying to come to a stop transmission trying to shift up and then it will shift hard. You will feel a driveline clunk as you stop. I took it to the dealer they said Toyota knew about the problem. They said a case was opened. I was told they drove several on their lot and they were the same. The final word was nothing wrong . This is a safety hazard. Has been doing since I got the truck.
