Differential Unit problems of the 2017 Toyota Tacoma

Every so often I heard a bang coming from the drivetrain while I'm driving and also when I put the truck on reverse the sound it's loud. I don't know it's a transmission problem or the joints with the differential. But it's getting bad. Also I have problems with the charging system and it was brought in and the day there is no problem but for some reason some times lights will come up out of the bue.

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.

The vehicle differential started to howl and whine at 800 miles and has steadily increased in severity as I put more miles on it. This is indicative of a bearing failing inside the differential. Toyota has brushed this off. They have not physically inspected the differential or even checked the fluids and provided no answer to what is going on with this vehicle. What is keeping my vehicle from not seizing up on the freeway and causing an accident if the differential grenades while at highway speeds?.

Noticed a weird rotational noise from the day I bought the truck. Took it into prestige Toyota dealer for it's first oil change and asked if they could check out the noise. Diagnosed as the rear differential even though it wasnt leaking. Two weeks later they are telling me it's going to take a month or more to get the part. I am in a loaner car and can't seem to get a solid answer on whats going on with these rear diffs. I don't even want the truck at this point since they can't even fix it.

Rear differential leak recall #: 17v-285 my Toyota dealership has had my 2017 Tacoma truck since mid July. After weeks of calling the dealership they cannot give me a completed repair date. Toyota has failed or is unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable time and I want Toyota to exchange my current truck for a new one: my current truck has less than 10,000 miles. Calls to Toyota resulted in no action taken on their part to resolve this matter. John deaton.

Rear differential leak. Received safety recall h0g from Toyota. Made appointment and took truck to Toyota of el cajon, mileage was 15,002. Was advised there was seepage and impounded truck and provided me a loaner vehicle. I have not been able to secure any firm answers on when the truck will be repaired other than the parts are not available. This is day 21 in the shop, reports of others over 60+ days. I have a loan on the vehicle that I have continue to pay though I do not have a truck to drive. This is very frustrating as I believe was sold me a vehicle in September 2016 knowing there was issues with the model year. My truck is not under op code h0g316, so my parts are under the normal ordering process. Toyota corporate customer service simply provides lip service only and no details on the potential release of repair kits.

Received a safety recall involving leakage from the rear differential, NHTSA recall no. 17v-285. Took to peterson Toyota, boise, id, on 6/28/2017, and was told that I should turn the vehicle in. However, they offered to provide only a replacement car, not a truck, which would not be of any use to me. They also refused to tell me how long it would take to get parts, possibly months. I called the Toyota corp customer service number on that day (1-888-270-9371), and was told a dealer customer service rep would contact me nlt 6/30. No one called, and I called Toyota again on 7/1, and was told that both a peterson and a regional customer service rep would contact me nlt 7/3. No one called. I again called Toyota on 7/6, and was told that I would receive a call from customer service nlt 7/7. Again, no one called. Peterson Toyota of boise and Toyota corp are refusing to answer my questions concerning this safety recall. The customer service rep at the 888 number has apologized numerous times and says she can not understand why I have not been contacted by a peterson and a regional customer service manager.

The current recall affecting 2016/2017 Toyota Tacoma rear end differentials does not include the off road models. My differential is leaking as well as many others as evidenced by Toyota Tacoma forums. Why is this? we are at the same risk of potential catastrophic failed as the non offroads models.

Rear differential noise effecting all 2016 and 2017 Tacoma trucks. Toyota has already replaced differential, this made no improvement ,the noise is the same. Toyota fst sad they are aware of the issue and working on a correction. I just hope this is fixed before the rear end locks up on someone Tacoma and causes an accident.

My new Tacoma has a whine/howl coming from the rear differential. Per my dealer, they have started a tas case with Toyota corp and were advised that the condition described is known, and under investigation. Tas says there are no recommended repairs at this time. The problem is occurring between 30-65 mph when decelerating and feathering the throttle, but is now becoming more pronounce with time and more mileage. I'm concerned that the issue could potentially become a safety issue. This issue is occurring with 2016-17 Tacoma's. Many differentials have been replaced by dealers; even the replacement differentials are experiencing the same issue.
