1 Engine Funny Noise problem of the 2005 Toyota Tacoma

Failure Date: 03/01/2018

I have had the rear end on my vehicle replaced 2x. No hard driving. No signs of abuse or regular wear but has cost me over 2200 each time. The head gasket have now failed and in reading many online sites this is a common problem. My vehicle has been serviced and never over heated. This job is now going to cost me 2500. It started a gurgling noise in the dash and got warm one day. The engine then threw a misfire in cylinder 4 a pressure check confirmed the head gasket. The rear end is a concern along with the head gaskets.

3 Engine Funny Noise problem of the 2011 Toyota Tacoma

Failure Date: 07/03/2012

The vehicle's engine makes a strong gurgling sound, loses power and runs sluggish at times. Toyota claims that the vehicle is running the way it was designed. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealership to have it fixed, but they claim that the computer is unable to find any defects, therefore they claim there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. I have requested a Toyota engineer to inspect my vehicle but it has been two years later, and I still haven't heard from Toyota. They also claim that the vehicle was already inspected by a specialist (engineer), but it's a lie, I have zero documentation stating so. Please help me.

4 Engine Funny Noise problem of the 1999 Toyota Tacoma

Failure Date: 08/04/2005

Driving to my home on Thursday, August 4, I heard a rapping noise start in my engine. I had taken it to the garage (d&j auto) the following day. Upon there inspection, they found a hole in the block of my engine. After swapping engines out of my vehicle, I had further inspected the old engine. I had a certified mechanic friend helping me to tear down the engine to find what caused the problem. We had found that a connecting rod had shattered inside the engine (arm that connects piston to crank shaft). I had contacted Toyota motor corp. And a few service managers in my area to send a representative to come and inspect the damage. I was told by a certified mechanic that the metal casting of the connecting rod was faulty, I thought Toyota would want to verify this by inspecting the pieces themselves. I have not been contacted by a Toyota representative as of yet and it has been three weeks and the service managers keep saying; " the engine is out of warranty so there is nothing they can do for me". If I would have been driving this vehicle on a major highway this problem would possibly have caused a serious injury or accident to me or others. I felt since they would not acknowledge me, it should be reported to you. I have documented the damage with digital pictures and I am in the process of having the pieces analyzed by an independent mechanic to determine the exact reason for the failure.
