general problems of the 2017 Toyota Tacoma

Vehicle stalled on highway bridge. Took to mechanic shop. They put the diagnostic code machine on and the code indicated fuel pump failure. Toyota does have a recall notice for the year, make, and model of my vehicle. But not showing on my VIN.

Fuel leak at the fuel lines at the rear connection near the fuel tank, drivers side rear.

Truck does not accelerate fully when I hit gas pedal. The truck stalls and my gas consumption is off.

I was driving my 2017 Toyota Tacoma and I my car suddenly was lurching and running rough. I had to put on hazards on a main road and pull over immediately and was not even able to let it run for air conditioning. It was 108 degrees out that day, waited for 1 hour 30 minutes in heat. Had truck towed to mechanic that stated my fuel pump was bad and there was a federal mandate recall on this. I have the paperwork for this (attached), when I called dealership they said it was not covered so I called advocate for Toyota that stated my truck was built in June and the mandate was only for September of 2017 and forward. So I have the exact same problem that they have a federal mandate to fix but won't fix mine. If I had been on the freeway I could have been killed. I have attached estimate to fix.

2017 Toyota Tacoma double cab-v6 with 62k approx miles. On or around April 29th 2024, I was traveling in this truck when there was a sudden and complete loss of power, two check engine lights came on-the "trac off" light and the check engine light came on. I needed to pull over immediately for safety. I ended up driving the vehicle to the Toyota dealership in limp mode. The vehicle has sat at tustin Toyota now for weeks with the Toyota dealership initially suggesting that a acis flap broke off inside the intake manifold of the car. This was replaced and the vehicle is still providing the same alarms and still in limp mode. The initial fix(whihc did not fix the problem was a full replacement of the intake manifold). Now the dealer is suggesting that a piece(s) broke off the intake manifold and ended up inside the engine so now dealer is recommending and entire engine break down to attempt to further diagnose the situation. Again it looks to be a complete failuure of the acis system and the intake manifold. This problem has presented a extreme safety issue due to comp[lete loss for power initially then truck sits in limp mode. Very dangerous!.

The Tacoma still has only 10,000 original miles. We yearly replace the oil when we have our annual vehicle inspection. The truck has been trouble since the beginning. Early on I noticed when going downhill, the automatic transmission seems to slip when applying the gas. I have taken the truck back to the dealer in kona to be told that it is not part of the rear end differential recall some years ago. I asked them to make a notation of this should the transmission or rear end differential fail in the future. Recently, we received an informational letter from Toyota regarding something about a possible faulty high pressure fuel pump. I made an appointment at the dealer and since I was there asked them for tire rotation, oil change and annual vehicle inspection. I explained to the service writer that I still believe there is a rear end or transmission problem. At first, she said, the recall was never done and later said it was done. More importantly, I have been smelling gasoline when I exit the truck although I see no visible fuel on the ground. I believe that this is related to the fuel pump issue which I received the letter from you. I was told several hours after I dropped off the truck that the fuel smell was not related to the letter I received.

I went to the gas station to fill up my tank and once I was done. I had trouble closing my fuel filler door. Fuel filler door is now broken and won’t close at all.

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.

The leak detection pump sub-assembly, charcoal canister (part # 90910-af006) located above the rear axle will start "pumping" very loudly even after the vehicle has not been driven in excess of 8 hours. Continues for approx 10 minutes, then shuts off. I went to my dealership and asked why this is happening and I was told that "it seems unusual" and then asked me if I pump gas "beyond the normal click to stop" - I said "no", and that I hadn't gassed up in over a week. So he said to just keep "an eye on it". Difficult to determine just how often this is happening since clearly I'm not going to be in the garage at the time this may be occurring. Having said that, a week later the same thing happened. I'm afraid that there's some sort of electrical issue at play here, but I get the feeling that the dealership won't do anything because of the sporadic nature of this.

Vehicle looses tracktion when making turns on a curve. Happens frequently and tires are still within lifecycle. The tires currently are from original purchase of new Tacoma. Also, the recall for problem with fuel propulsion system has been ongoing and no remedy has been made available. This is putting my family at risk.

The vehicle stalls at times, at other times the vehicle launches in both reverse and forward, at times while driving parkway vehicle hesitates. At times vehicle stationary and with foot on brake and vehicle put in drive the truck launches forward, same with reverse. This has been ongoing for months. Now the malfunction light is on. I understand there is a recall and I have contacted Toyota and they are not willing to do anything and told me that I would be charged a diagnostic fee. I bought the truck in March 2020 with a little over 14,000 miles on the truck the problem began in September 2020.

Idle surges . Rpm surge while at park and it surges when about to drive from the parking.

Truck hesitates or loses power and triangle appears on dash for an instant while driving on street or highway . Only happens now and then. Reported it to dealership and they put it on a computer but couldn't find the problem. This was done before the warranty expired so they would have a record of the issue. Vehicle was in motion.

After smelling gas in the cabin of the truck for several months, with no apparent problems with vehicle handling and performance, the truck was taken in for it's regular service. Fuel lines going into the engine on the driver's side were leaking at a coupling just before the injectors. The first half inch of the hose before the coupling was delaminated due to fuel being forced between the sheathing and the hose. Toyota service center had not seen this issue before and did not know what would have caused it.

Vehicle constantly cuts out under acceleration like throttle does not communicate with engine. Drives like an old car with a clogged fuel filter or a distributor with no advance.

Driving at 30 mph when vehicles engine tried to stall , pumping the accelerator I keep vehicle moving but ran very poorly got it home and called dealership to get appointment. This a very dangerous for if was in a intersection there could have been a accident.
