Took my truck to dealer for 15k routine service/oil change. they announced a recall regrading a "leaking rear differential" advised keeping the truck until repairs were completed,(provided rental) but no time frame for completion. this is causing a hardship on both my personal and work related travel (i go out of state a lot)
Nhtsa recall number 17v285 i took my truck to the dealership for this safety recall on may 9, 2017. toyota says this problem has a remedy, but my dealer says the parts are not available. nhtsa website says to file a complaint if repairs are not made in a timely manner. i have been without the use of this vehicle for two months, how long is considered "timely"?

The rear differential is leaking lubricant. visible sign of the leak are on the front (driveshaft) side of the differential housing.
Brought my 2016 toyota tacoma in for 20,000 mile service to right toyota on may 5th 2017. was told by service manager my truck rear differential was leaking and was under recall. they would have to hold my vehicle. they were not sure when toyota would come up with a repair. i called right toyota on may 30th to see if my vehicle was any closer to being repaired. was told toyota still does not have a procedure for repair yet. nor did they know when they would. my vehicle also had a hesitation when i took it in for service. so i still don't have my truck back that i use for my business. they say it is unsafe to drive. no time frame of how long for repair. has been a month now.
On may 4,2017 took vehicle in for 15k service though it only had 11k miles.was advised there was a recall and did i want it checked, "would only be a couple hrs." it has been at the dealerships parking lot for two (2) months, exposed to temperatures of 100 plus. 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. corp. sold me a defective vehicle.

The rear differential is leaking fluid. on february 11, 2017 the vehicle was taken in for routine service and inspected for a clunking sound that occurs sporadically upon braking. the feeling can best be described as if the vehicle has been bumped from behind. the service department was not able to duplicate the problem. on may 5, 2017 the vehicle was taken in for routine maintenance and retained by the toyota dealer due to a leaking rear differential that was described as a serious safety defect. the vehicle has not been repaired as of june 24, 2017.
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.
Have a serious vibration in the transmission. have took the truck in 4 times they did the upgrade on the computer it did help. now the problem is back they have no answer's for me. got told by 50,000 miles it should work itself out. called toyota to complain they are aware of the problems. i got told they have no answer's how how to fix the problem. my complaint is they have issues with the 2016 and 2017.they are not fixing them but yet still ripping people off buy selling trucks with a major problem. i use to love my toyota but now i'm done and will never buy one again since they don't back them up anymore and rip people off.
The rear wheels on my 2016 toyota tacoma locked up as i was travelling straight at approx. 55 mph on the 110 north freeway during rush hour. the truck went into a fishtail which i was able to control and bring to a stop the dealer tells me the bolts on the rear differential came loose and the oil drained out causing the rear diff to seize and stop the tires from rotating. truck has 12,500 miles on it and just a year old. no accident occurred so no report was filed. chp was on the scene until a tow truck came to tow me off the highway.
2016 toyota tacoma. consumer writes in regards to transmission issues. *ld the consumer stated the vehicle shifting as erratic and unreliable. the rear differential leaked, when the vehicle stopped it made a loud clunk, and there was a loud whining noise. the consumer requested to be able to sale back the vehicle, be reimbursed for the rental and for hiring an outside mechanic. *js
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.
All of the problems listed below have been reported to my local toyota dealership, gullo toyota, conroe, texas. 1) engine misfires (5 attempts at repair. still misfires.). 2) vehicle stalls due to transmission searching for the correct gear (developed after the last attempt to repair misfire in september 2016). 2) engine has developed a rattle after 20,000 + miles and sometimes sounds like a rod is knocking. sounds like engine is not being lubricated properly. this may lead to early failure of the smog control system and excessive oil consumption (toyota claims this is normal for this truck). 3) bump sound comes from beneath truck when stopping and may be loose or broken motor or transmission mount (toyota stated that the truck is operating as designed). 4) grinding sound comes from rear end when rear wheels slip and automatic limited slip is selected (toyota has stated that the truck is operating as designed). 5) engine revs unexpectedly when backing out of or driving into garage (toyota has stated that the truck is operating as designed). 6) loud bang comes from beneath truck when coming to a quick stop. sounds like the guts of the transmission shift forward (dealership has not arranged to provide a loaner truck so that this problem and all the persistent problems listed above can be repaired. toyota insist that i bring my truck to the dealership and drive my truck around and demonstrate the existence of these problems to the toyota's field service tech. dealership is aware that this truck has been recalled for rear differential problems and engine misfire and stalling. i need the dealership to accept responsibility for this defective truck and take it into their service department and keep it until it is repaired. i need a loaner truck while the repairs are made. i have put much needed work on-hold for a year due to this truck.).
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
Tl* 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....updated 12/12/16 *bf updated 12/12/16.*jb
Tl* 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.
Vehicle is sporadic when shifting. earlier today at a left turn at the vehicle would not shift gears giving me the feeling that the vehicle would only go at 10-15mph on incoming traffic. this was at a green light with yield if possible. if it weren't for other driver coming and being able to use breaks the vehicle would have been in an accident. i attempted to step on the accelerator but it seemed as it would not shift. please investigate further as i've noticed the issue before but when driving straight it is not a problem. thank you. *tr
Transmission seems not to engage very quickly. very sluggish. mostly in the morning when put in reverse it does not seem to engage. there's also a clicking noise up by the engine passenger side. dealer says it's normal. never heard anything like that on any vehicle i've owned
Transmission has a flare,shudder, jerky and clunk. i have been dealing with it since 07-16-2016
While driving eastbound on the 210 freeway in glendora, ca at approx 35mph the vehicle came to a sudden and violent stop and veered slightly into the lane to my right. i was not braking at the time. rear wheels had locked and vehicle had to be dragged to the shoulder as rear wheels would not turn. there were no indications of any problem at the time of the incident. vehicle was in drive, and seemed to be operating normally. vehicle was taken to toyota of glendora in glendora, ca for service. i was told that the rear differential had leaked out, and it along with the rear tires had been replaced under warranty. this was a new vehicle with less than 4500 miles on it. it had not had its first oil change nor any other service. the problem was not caused by external damage, and it was explained to me by the dealership's service advisor that the part had not been properly sealed. vehicle has no warning system or dash light to communicate a loss of differential fluid as it would with oil, tire pressure, temperature, etc.
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.
Vehicle gets stuck in gear when driving on highway for extended amounts of periods on the highway 90km +, only when transmission gets to operating temp. it also gets stuck in lower gears 1-3 when decelerating and the truck is at lower revs. extremely dangerous when trying to downshift for a hill or corner, your foot is off the accelerator petal and truck gets stuck in gear. toyota has taken a month and still has not come up with the decision to replace, they do not care if it's dangerous to drive. i need a truck though....
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.
Shifting from reverse to drive there is a delay so when i go to take off it slams into drive.
Hi to whom this may concern, i have trouble shifting my vehicle once i drive it after 4-5 hours, this is an intermittent problem that the dealer can't replicate because it doesn't happen too often. i have called corporate toyota and they claim that no one else has called in with the issue even though there are many others that have the same issue. i have opened up a case with them with reference #: 1607081673 note: this is on a manual transmission link to a tacomaworld thread with others having the issue: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/manual-transmission-getting-stuck-in-gear.415438/
Erratic transmission shifting. lurches in low gears, delay when shifting from reverse to drive, stays in 4th gear after cresting a hill, unable to stay in 6th gear while cruising at highway speeds on level ground without load in vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 toyota tacoma. while driving various speeds, the vehicle began to make an abnormally loud noise. the contact noticed that the transmission would shift between gears independently and the four wheel drive feature would not engage after being activated. the dealer diagnosed that the software failed for the transmission and needed to be updated. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 325.
-transmission is too quick to upshift causing the engine to bog down. -transmission causes the tuck to lurch forward at low speeds. -shifting from r to d on a hill can sometimes cause the truck to roll backwards as if the truck was in neutral -in g
