Driving vehicle on a side street going approx 20 miles per hour . Car started shaking and lost majority of power. Was able to get car back to residence (only got a couple of blocks away) when heading to destination. Had vehicle towed next day to same dealership who had recently replaced fuel pump under a recall (paperwork for this recall is what was experienced /stalling dangers) . Dealership told us not fuel pump but wiring harness needed replacement because rodents ate the wiring ( soy bean covering on newer vehicles )and engine lost power because of this . Thank goodness not on a highway going 75 mph. When this happened as we very well could of been . Told we need to deter these rodents from continuing any more damage . Wonder why company would use a product . Thank you.

My 2018 Tacoma had a check engine light come on, then the trac light came on. Cruise control quit working and engine runs rough. When driving, vehicle begins to lose acceleration and check engine light begins flashing.

Moderate to severe vibration started from 5-40 mph then vibration is still there at > 40mph but not as bad. Does not matter is hot or cold, city or highway I had tires balanced and rotated but vehicle still vibrates. TSB's from Toyota point to drive train vibrations in Tacoma models. Now, at times, the drive train squeals like a bad u-joint or hanger bearing. Dealer said they are aware but no recall. This needs a recall. Vehicle has around 147000 miles.
At first about 6 months ago , car started vibrating at low speed and disappear at higher speed. On 3/13/14 traveling a about 30mph , there was a sudden vibration (car shaking violently ) then a loud bang underneath the driver side. Glided the car along side the road, did a visual inspection under the car and notice the front propeller shaft was hanging there. My truck has been expose to carrying heavy load. The heaviest load that this truck carried was an upright freezer that I bought from k-mart. Is my truck included in that 2007 for drivetrain problem??? if so where can I get info on this? my problem is very similar to the 2007 recall on bad casting.
2007 Toyota Tacoma. Consumer writes in regards to sudden vibration when vehicle was at a stop. The consumer stated the vehicle would idle really low. When he turned on the ac, the idle would increase and the truck would stop vibrating. Also, if he put the vehicle in neutral, the rpm would increase and it would stop vibrating. The consumer stated he checked under the vehicle, but didn't see any visual leaks. As he proceeded to slide from under the truck, the front tire rolled over his head and chest. The truck rolled across the street and hit a street sign. The consumer stated he and a friend re-created the incident. The consumer stated when the friend touched a linkage, he saw the shifter move toward the back of the truck, staying in the slot for park. The truck then rolled while making a clicking noise. The consumer applied the brake and the truck stopped, he pushed the shifter forward and the truck re-engaged into park. The consumer stated he could only re-create the problem, when the vehicle was parked on an incline. The consumer stated when the vehicle was parked on a slight incline, it had the ability to pop out of park by slightly touching the linkage under the truck. Updated 07/23/lj.
I was approaching a stoplight at a downward angle and while applying the brake the vehicle began to shake violently. I was going approx. 15pmh when it started and it didn't stop shaking until I got down to about 5 miles per hour. I took it to the dealership that day and explained the problem to them. They got the vehicle to reproduce the vibrations and I have paperwork stating this. It has been a full year later and they haven't repaired it yet. They continually tell me parts are being designed. Just wait. That's all they keep saying. I found out that they made a fix for the v6 model within 7 months, but they didn't have enough complaints against the 4 cylinder model to warrant redesigning parts. I was told this by the service tech at the dealership.

This is a follow-up to odi numbers 10444039 & 10444967. After much work on my part, a Toyota factory representative examined the vehicle in question on three separate occasions. The factory represenative was able to reproduce the occurence twice. The solution or guess at the time, was to replace the automatic transmission. This was done on 3/12/12. The problem still occurs. I have experienced and documented the occurrence over 150 times since December 2010. Last contact with the Toyota executive branch deemed the vehicle to be operating as "designed". Final outcome was made after finding another vehicle (just one) like mine in the state of virginia. That vehicle was taken out and driven by a factory representative. That vehicle also shuddered while breaking to and maintaing the speed of 20mph. Final analysis/answer was that the computer had a problem with open and closed loops and a temperature involving 138 degree's. No further solutions were offered; vehicle "operating as designed". As of this date the vehicle in question has less then 19,000 miles and the following work has been done in an attempt to rectify that occurence "operating as designed";
1) front rotors ground twice
2) a new transmission was installed
3) new rotors were placed on the vehicle to replace the ground ones. Two links that do work for anyone having problems are listed below:

My truck experiences severe transmision noise when I apply brakes, came to a stop and then proceed. A noticeable clunking noise took place as if the transmission was broken. Also my front tires wore excessively on the heels, and I was told by the dealer that the front end was misaligned. Ofcourse I paid for a front end alignment but it didnt help the vehicle from shaking at speeds of 55+mph. Also , the front suspension shimmies, shakes, and rattles over minor road imperfections. I feel like the steering wheel is telling me this vehicle is unsafe. I have never had an accident, and my vehicle is still under warranty. Can someone offer help or advice? thomas j finley.
