I've saw this hack girlfriend comment on several posts, wth????
My 13 Tacoma had issues...it didnt know the word quit.

Lol exactly!!!
My 17 taco with 120,000 miles has had 0 issues
Truth
My 2003 Tacoma has the same “issue”
Interestingly enough my 2017 TRD Off-Road didn't have any of those issues despite most of them are honored by the manufacturer and fixed for free. Unlike most other particularly American brands, Toyota still remains as the most reliable and dependable manufacturer in entire automotive industry.
couldn't have said it better myself
They won't fix mine
Yep, with no military to focus on after WWII Toyota was seen as the pride of Japanese manufacturing and replaces their pride of a military
@@jamesdean4972 Japanese defense force is real, and they're busy developing ways to counter China's actual threat. They're busy creating a gen 6, smart fighter aircraft as well.
@@troy3456789 yes but the initial period from 1945-1975 where most countries were dumping huge $ into their military
Would love to see more videos on 3rd gen Tacoma...your FJ series has been a life saver and with lots of these tricks on the road it would be great to see...start with the idler pulleys!
That's it?? some factory backed recalls and a blower motor. My ford has literally a hundred issues that they refused to back like spark plug blow outs etc, massive failures
My 2015 focus has 186k on it, tires breaks, oil changes, rad flush and air filters. That's all it's asked for. Been a really great car. What do you drive?
Right!? Lol my 2019 Chevy Colorado began developing transmission and steering problems yet Chevrolet cannot fix no matter how many times we take it to them. We already filed a lemon lawsuit against them if we win= Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro for sure next truck 😂😂
@@richardparnell8402 My girls 2013 focus blew a motor at 60k miles with regular maintenance. She also had the transmission issues from that year that Ford refused to fix. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you get a lemon but in general far fewer problems with toyotas in my experience.
@@XxLuke117xX this is true. I will say that I have changed my oil starting at 2k then every 4-5k, I usually buy an OEM filter, full syn with dexOS (I think that's what it is) and when it's done draining I put like a half liter down the crankcase to flush some of the more Amber looking oil out. It's kept the inside of the engine really clean. Edit and yes I hear you about Ford not honoring things I spent $1,500 on paint protection and rust proofing after they "fixed" it the first time it bubbled up 10 times worse and less than half a year and they refused to honor their work. I believe it was finishing touches, I should have just taken the $1,500 and got in the car painted. It just sucks that I still owe 6k on this car and I have to repaint the quarter panels.
@@richardparnell8402 I feel that man. Honestly she had Ford do a lot of the oil changes and trusting a dealer to do that is dangerous. On me for not doing that myself.
Thank You. You are knowledgeable, you speak clear, and you helped me put in my 2000 Tundra's water pump twice...
Thank you for such an excellent video. You covered all issues so well there is no need for questions. I own a 2020 sr5 v6 and I found out that the transmission seemed to work erratically because it works also along with the front distancing sensor, so is more like a safety bonus feature like if someone cuts in front of you it will try to slow down. Anyway I have put only about 2500 miles on it and I love this truck, the only thing that bothers me is definitely the rear view mirror seems to big and low blocking some of my view specially when turning right.
Thanks for sharing and for checking out the video!
2016 owner here. I have not experienced any of these issues. I've owned my truck since it was new. 87k miles later and Its brilliant
+CRXPhil Thanks for the feedback!
My 2017 tacoma with a 2.7 has 160,000 trouble free miles and still has the original brakes!!!! Incredible!!!!
2016 Tacoma Limited 2wd just broke 100k and I'm going to get the torque converter checked possibly replaced by the dealership. the vehicle shutters between 30mph-45mph. I love the Truck is a Fav but this issue might be $$ to repair. hope that is all i will have to deal with when it comes to the trans. did do the recall for the gear housing leak back in 2017. After repair, I did notice a rattle sound during acceleration on hills. could it have anything to do with the current issue now?
I’m looking into getting me a 2016 Tacoma 4x4 with 75k miles
4 cylinder?
I had 2017 Tacoma. Traded it in. That trans shifted weird even under 50,000miles...couldn’t imagine what it would be like with 100000. Still like Toyota’s still
Wow, a transmission pan with a drain plug, that's a bonus.
I had the exact same hard shifting problem in my '07 Ranger. I changed the transmission fluid with Amsoil. It fixed the problem, drastically improved my gas mileage and power. The lesson learned..... factory fluids are horrible!!!!
On another comment, customer changed the transmission fluid with XYZ off brand.... it breaks the transmission and customer got mad the manufacturer did not honor the warranty!
@@slothypunk Hmmmm. I've never known of a transmission fluid causing one to "break". Wear out prematurely, yes, but not break. Chances are, there was something wrong with it long before the fluid was changed. That said, we as car owners are allowed to use whatever we want to....fluids, brake pads, rotors, fan belts etc. and it doesn't void warranties.
@@TheBeatenPaths you are correct, but if your car is new and something happen to yours when using off brand just to save a few buck you will have an up hill battle with the dealer when you try to claim for warranty repair. That's all I'm saying... Of course you are free doing whatever you want, you just need to choose which is more convinient for you!
Great vid! You explain thoroughly and with patience.

Super Helpful Video.. taking it to the Dealer as soon as i can.
I just bought a brand new 2022 Tacoma, I hope all these problems are now resolved!
Another common issue is water getting into the third rear brake light. Amongst other trucks as well.
Thank you for that info! Also, thanks for watching!
My friends colorado has that problem.
@@Walterrinho Easy fix man. Find some RTV Silicone and apply it around the light. Make sure to clean the area first. Working 1 year for me so far.
@@xAlbanianHackerx This is the most common problem for the 3rd gen Tacoma, and the easiest solution.
I had the leaking third brake problem too in a 2019 Off Road. 1st time at 5000 miles and replaced for free under warranty. Started again at 18000 miles, which brought me here trying to decide if I want to do myself or take for my last warranty claim before the warranty is up. Leak is apparent when interior dome lights would stay on when on auto mode, even when driving.
best one ive watched so far
2011 Tacoma V6 SR5. Solid 👍🏽

Great video. Love the energy bro 👍
Appreciate it!!
I remember growing up as a kid my father owned a 1976 Toyota pickup and a 1985 Toyota pickup and he never had any issues with them all these modern vehicles are nothing but electronics and crap inside of them, they have nothing but problems with them
Will trade my 2016 TRD or for pre 95 truck. Timing cover leak here.... 40k baby miles. Watch out for this
Thanks for posting
Thanks for a great video.
Thanks for watching!
My tacoma 2017 no problem very good. I love it
Nice video! 2017 automatic SR5 4x4 V6 w/ tow package, 50k miles been west to east coast twice. No issues mechanically so far for me. Only issue have had was water leaking into headliner from rear cargo light, I suspected a bad gasket. Simple fix with silicon until I replace someday.
As far as shifting goes it definitely likes to hunt for low rpms when changing cruising speed around town, and noticed some hard down shifting due to that tuning when I decelerated quickly to stop. Had to change my driving habits and really let the shifting do more work accelerating and decelerating. I will say it doesn’t shift as smooth as a lot of automatics I have driven such as some subarus. However this little truck runs like a dream off road and for me has just been a great vehicle. Nothing is perfect but this truck has been close to perfect for me. Hope this puts some other owners at ease. Peace.
Thanks for sharing, RangerOdyssey!

I thought Toyota issued a recall for water seeping into 3rd brake light. I got a notice about it when I owned my 2018 but never resolved that one or the fuel pump recall then I parted ways with it while profiting on the sale now thinking about buying another before the model is transformed for 2024
That’s a recall. Currently having mine fixed. Apparently they also pull out the entire interior of the vehicle and test for mold. If there is any found, they essentially replace the entire interior after chemically cleaning the body interior… it’s going to take a while…
My 2018 manual has been nothing but awesome

Excellent! Thank you!🙏
Excellent video
The oil changes on 3rd gen Tacoma's are notoriously difficult too.
How so ? 30 minutes tops including stupid tin bash plate
@@user-dn2rt5lq4w You gotta use that special oil filter wrench, pop the plastic piece out of the oil filter, let the oil drain out of the filter, make sure the o rings on the filter are correctly placed, use torque wrench to put the filter back on. Edit: oh and also remove the skid plate and put it back on every time you do an oil change if your using the stock skid plate.
Great content Man thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video 👍🏽
can u do a video on the ford 10 speed tansmissn n other issues with ford trucks?
Love my 2018 TRD OffRoad so far, 20,000 miles in!
Watch for timing cover leak, passenger side of engine.
I have a 2018 off road with 70,000 K. There has been several recalls done to it. Definitely issues with the trans shifting smoothly. Also there’s issues with the rear differential making noise.
Thank you fo rdoing this Sir.
+Delmar829 Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Great Video!! Please do one on the 1st Gen Nissan Titan.
I have a tacoma 2018 V6, I'll appreciate if you can tell me where is located the relay, or fuse for the gas pump? Thank you
my 18 offroad definitely has the transmission issue. i thought dealer couldn't reprogram computer because of warranty issues, but ill definitely look into that
Did you take it to the dealer? Any solution to your issue?
11k+ miles on my '21 TRD Off Road 4x4 v6. Only thing I have noticed so far is that the engine response under hard acceleration seems to be intermittent. Sometimes very responsive, other times it is less responsive than it should be. My previous truck was an '18 SR 4x4 2.7 which had a master cylinder and a TSS sensor recall which Toyota addressed.
Transmission tune on the automatics from the factory are pretty crappy. I find myself lifting off the throttle to force a shift pretty regularly. It “hunts” for gears. Aftermarket tunes seem to be the solution, “speed boost” looks like it gives you the most options for the price, with presets ranging from economic to race.
Informative video. Thanks. Dance Hands!
Can anyone might have an issue when braking that when you brake is like if you had a bad old master cilinder and shakes along you braking on the 2021 tacoma 6 cylinders.
Any fix to this problem? Is it a problem or it's normal?
Thanks for your help
2019 trd-or, no recall issues to date, this one's made in Mexico fwiw. It's been rock solid, knock on wood
I own a 2016 tacoma trd sport 4 door long bed with 53k miles on it. The only problem I started to get it's the cruise control. When I turn it on (but not always though) says: check cruise control system and doesn't work. Ahh , I also had a problem where all the refrigerant leaked out, that was like $700. Great video!

Thank you!
My 2018 has the idle surge. I had no idea it was under recall.
I have the 22 SR5 4X4 and I have no problems so far. I installed a 2 inch lift kit and the Toyota recommended tire replacement and I like it.
Ok ok how is Barack?
Excellent 👌💪

The delayed downshift and gear "hunting" in cruise has been a common Toyota truck auto trans issue going way back to the 2005 five speed. This is a separate issue from hard shifts and delayed engagement. It was programmed this way to maximize gas mileage by keeping rpms low. They just went too far and made it annoying. 2005 Tundra in my case, not just 3rd gen Tacoma.
Thanks for sharing, Jim!
That’s funny. I’m new to Toyota, and it doesn’t bother me because I like the older, great, tough design. The wife’s 2020, and my 2021 4Runner does the same. I usually just foot drive instead of the hunting cruise control. It’s downhill to work 6900 ft to 5000 ft over 62 miles, so I use it the one way.
Time to re gear the difs
Everyone complaining about the tacoma bogging down, if not already done check with both tsb update and make your dealership perform it free of charge. Than you should notice an improvement immediately driving it off the lot. Remember this type of transmission is design to learn the way you normally drive after it does this you should be satisfied granted you didn't add a bunch of extra weight to the truck. Good luck to all.
+Christian mcsharry Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you so much. I've had this problem and wonder what was going on or even i was just imagining it. Thanks!
@@1AAuto - Did you get paid by Ford, GM, or Chrysler? I traded my 2016 Tacoma SR5 2WD on 10-3-2020 for a 2020 Ford Ranger XLT 2020 2WD. The Tacoma had around 75,000 miles on the odometer and the trade-in value was close to $22,000. Also, I never had any problem with the crankshaft sensor issue which was recalled by Toyota on 7- 24-2017. I did not watch to the end of this video, but other issues mentioned in this video can be fixed for free at the dealerships. These issues are covered by TSBs. No pickup trucks in this world are perfect. Overall, I do like my Ranger very much, but I need to bring in to the dealership some day because it has a rough transmission shifting from start to 50mph - 60 mph. If you want to learn all problems with the 2019-2020 Ford Ranger, such as Fuel In Oi, shuddering/vibration problems with the driveline, etc..., go to www.ranger5g.com. You should make a video for the 2019-2020 Ford Ranger with all the problems.
2018 Tacoma. Rear passenger axle seal, idler pulley, fuel pump recall, TSS front sensor recall. Just hit 30k miles and I am on a first name basis with several of the employees at the dealership. I feel like Norm from Cheers.
2019 fuel pump recall also. What i think is the serpentine belt, starts squeaking horrendously the other day. After researching and what you said, maybe its a pulley instead. The battery leaks causing corrosion at the base of the positive terminal. I have 1 month of warranty left to see whats up.
Watch for timing cover leak passenger side of engine. front of course. 2016 40k its becoming common.
@@ddoghunt3471 I have this leak. They want 4500 to fix.😢
My 2017 Tacoma manual 4wd with 40k Miles had rear differential replacement 3 times finally had to get a new carrier assembly/axel for the fix. Also had low compression and cylinder wall scoring with no explanation the motor had to be rebuilt. Cold start pop 5/7 days a week it’s a know issue has the leak down test and what do you know 2 out of 4 cylinders were bad. Get a leak down test before you are out of warranty!!! Rings were fried! Rebuilt the motor and Toyota bought it back because it still had cold start pop. Trucks run lean! Cause premature wear on your motor. Hence why they ditched the 5spd because they have had issue with cold start pop and my lo l dealership buys one back a week.!! No joke!!!
I have problems on 2,3,4 so yes very positive that he understood me
Hello l have a 2019 tacoma sr5 l just noticed that when l pump the break pedal multiple times in became really hard and a Sight in the dashboard spears telling check the break system.,took it to the dealer they couldn’t find nothing wrong.
Is that normal in the tacomas when you pump the break pedal??
Question. I took my 2021 Tacoma TRD Off-road 4x4 off-roading one time on a pretty steep muddy hill. My truck was rolling backwards while in the Drive mode and I slowly pressed on the gas pedal to go up. At that time, I heard some grinding noise along with the Traction Control button turning on and blinking. I don't know, can this ruin the transmission? One other time just days after going off-roading that one time, I shifted my truck into Reverse and it didn't even go. I looked around my tires to see if an object was in the way of it to prevent the truck from moving but nothing was there. I kept on testing the truck in Reverse and it has been working fine then. Is my transmission affected? Please help, kinda worried. I don't see any warning lights so there doesn't seem to be any problems. Thanks!!
my 2016 has a blower motor problem. Im wondering if you can tell me how to replace the resistor for this model. Sometimes the switch for the blower will work on high but most of the time it will not work at all.
Hi yall nice video.
I have a 2019 trd sport 29000miles manual and am having problems with the clutch sticking. Always dose a little stick after releasing it. But at 0°and lower sticks really bad. Even after letting it run for at least 10min and driving.
Good info
Thanks for watching, Carlos!
Hey liked your video on the 5 problems on the 3rd gen Tacoma. Just a question on brakes. I would like to attempt to bleed my brakes on 2019 Tacoma and was wondering about the location of ABS and do I bleed the farthest bleed valve from there? THX!
I have a 2021 Tacoma with 9,000 miles on it and I haven’t had any of these problems. I did however, have to replace the Air Conditioning Amplifier recently due to the AC not blowing cool air. The ECU threw a B1423 code but it didn’t activate the check engine light.
45000 miles on my 2019 trd sport. Was thinking of trading it for an f150, quickly changed my mind after seeing all the issues with f150s. I’ll never sacrifice reliability for comfort. Never!
My 2017 F150 that has not turned over 50,000 miles yet is dead in my driveway. Ecoboost already wore out the alternator. I am bummed the hell out.
Can’t afford the future trouble.
@@SweetpeaandLilly my Tacoma just hit 110 no problems whatsoever
@@crazypersonlol34 Thanks.
@@SweetpeaandLilly yoda power🫡 we all learn at some point. I had a 06 Silverado with 80k miles on it oil pump went out after 3 weeks of owning it. Left me stranded. Engine completely seized and didn’t turn on at all. Luckily I got my down payment back and bought a Toyota. Never again.
@@dark8893 Thank you. I was wrong about the mileage. It has 39,000 miles on it. The extended warranty covered the alternator and a motor went out in the door. I bought it brand new. My Mom told me to keep it.
I do not want a used vehicle with 100,000 miles on it. I love my truck. I am really not sure what to do. The only reason I do not trade for a brand new small Toyota car is that I like to build stuff and need a truck to haul lumber home.
Thank you I have today camshaft sensor problem. P0348
Interesting video and don't know if this will help but I got a 2020 Tacoma TRD sport 2WD and had mine for a year or so with 26,100 miles and out of no where my OEM key fob tail gate locking component failed any time I unlock or lock the truck it just grinds like servo gear teeth just filed it's self.
Also not sure if this is factory or not but I have super bad camber on the tires but you only see it with the tires off
Many including myself had issues with the howling rear diff. Between 54-62 mph the noise was loud. Rear diff was replaced at 400 miles. 2nd rear diff is tolerable. Rear shocks leaked oil at 25,000 miles. 2017 SR5 DCLB
I had the same issue my passenger rear shock leaked completely out and when I call the dealer, the service department said are u sure it was not from the way you drive the truck. Wow really ? What a stupid lady.
Sounds like Toyota's reliability isn't what it's cracked up to be. That's a lot to go wrong so soon.
@@palebeachbum They arent what they used to be thats for sure.
My new 22 OR has rear diff howling at same speed. Front diff makes noise too sometimes.
Good job.

Is there any way I can get a code for the delayed shifting? The people at the Toyota shop here say it's up to date, but defo shifts slowly from 1 to 2.
Thanks man
You're welcome!
My 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport. Has a recall on the fuel pump. Taking it in tomorrow.
I've replaced so many Toyota fuel pumps for the recall.
You have any videos on the 2017-2020 ford raptor?
Toyota currently has a recall on a low pressure fuel pump, not only on the 3nd gen Taco but also others of their cars and trucks. Hundred of thousands of vehicles are affected.

I sped off sams club one day turn to right off the parking lot and the truck was struggling like it was going to die, thank you I have an sr5 2021 v6 4x4 tacoma but besides this I was in mexico at 15000 miles and the truck started to over heat at about 35minutes at idle, has anyone had an issue like this?
My 2016 had the transmission hunting issue. 45 minutes at the dealer they reprogrammed the transmission never had a problem after that. Two issues I had was annoying dash rattle when it was new, the dealer fixed it under warranty. And the rear third brake light leaked, and my cab would get all wet. This was a recall.
3rd brake light seal leaking into the cab, and frame rust prohibitor treatment are also covered by recalls. I’ve had these fixed along with the blower motor
Thanks, i am having the issue with the transmission slamming into 2nd gear, and also shifting problems when inclining.
Thanks for watching!
Dude watch the damned video! He just explained that for you!
@@boblafountaine9560 No shit sherlock, put the whiskey down. I clearly just thanked him for explaining the same issue iam having.
Is there a transmission hard shift issue in the 2022 automatic v6?
great video! just researching to buy a 2021 tacoma. So do you think these problems is persisting into the 2021 year?
buy the 2021 and you'll know it. think will not gonna make you know for sure!
Just wondering why people are saying that when they take it to the dealer to have the ECU flashed, they’re still having issues. One person had his flashed three times. Can you address why this happens. Thank you.
Just bought a 2021 Tacoma SR, with V6 engine. No recalls they said at the dealership when we picked it up....so maybe the latest version is updated. I'm I correct?
My gen 3 taco had the axle leak. It also didn't come with enough ATF fluid and damaged the transmission. It is noticeably under-geared to me on the automatics.
Thank you for checking out the video. If you need auto parts go to: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now
Exactly the same with my 16
Any information on the plastic coolant 'elbows' onnthe back side of the engine between it and the firewall that are known to crack on '16-'17 models that were replaced in '18+ models? How can we tell those are cracking since that area back there seems to collect upwards of half a gallon before leaking onto the floor?
I own a brand new 2019 trd sport and everything run perfect so far🤞🏼
4wd?
Mine is TRD sport 2020 great so far. Love my truck. Used to have a 1997 Ford F-150 lots of problems.
I'm a mechanic. I haven't see any problems of above mention. Only problem that i heard people complaint that Tacoma kept they value high. Example 20k+ for a Tacoma with over 100k.
That should’ve been the first example in the video
not a very honest mechanic then are ya.
I got 11,500 for a 2006 with 150k on it.
Current models aren’t as reliable as the old models.
I have a 2003 SR 5 V6 4X4 with 95000 on it. Have never had to fix anything, not even dash lights. Looks and drives like new. Was offered $12,000 for it. Turned them down.
Glad I bought my 2021 Jeep Rubicon!
I wondered where Doug Stamper, House of Cards, went.....now I know that he has a new job!. My 2020 MT TRD Off Road,...does this slight “stutter thing” between 3200-4K rpm when accelerating (as on to a freeway or passing). The dealership was able to reproduce the stutter......they strongly encouraged me to write Toyota.

I just bought a 19 Tacoma TRD off-road and noticed foggy window/moisture on the inside of the windshield on the passenger side when it shouldn't be there. Any ideas?
Check windshield from the inside, maybe it’s not sealed correctly if not perhaps the defrost fan could be causing moisture.
Have a 2017 Tacoma. Have a bouncing in the vehicle between 15 mph up to 25 mph. Then once speed up it goes away. After braking then moving it happen continually at 15-25mph. Checked tires, removed two rears and had them spun and balanced .Checked brakes, cleaned out brake dust. Disconnected the ABS sensors to see if it was faulty. No leaking from the rear casing. U joint tight. Drive shaft seems ok. This is driving us crazy! ???
That blower motor had to be replaced on my 2017 Tacoma after about 18 months. The dealer did the fix at their expense. So I’m believing it was a recall.

I have experienced something in my Tacoma that when I am slowing down! Let's say I am going to stop the transmission , like it hits something when lowering gears, what do you think it might be is 2017 v6
I have the same problem, I am taking it to the dealer to get the latest update for the trans. If that don't fix it 3rd gen tacomas are on the lemon law they fall in that category.
@@jmr8535 yeah is have to take it for the next sev
Could you guys do a video on the first gen tacoma?
There is no video because there are no problems :p
I’m having a vibrating feeling on my 2020 only 1st gear on uphill fast acceleration it shudders for some reason ?? Took it to the dealer and they said it’s running normal,but I don’t think that’s normal I’m going to take it again
Crank positioning sensor from Delco is doing that!
Great video. I recently purchased a 2023 Tacoma TRD Sport v6 with automatic transmission and brought it into the dealer with 1,600 miles on it and I stated it seems to surge, buck at partail throttle. This is partial throttle is 75 percent or more of my driving....so pretty annoying. Dealership claimed normal and called it hunting. I said it is not hunting and hunting is something else. I also stated that I place transmission in manual mode to eliminate the hunting aspect and the surging, bucking remains. Thoughts? Thank you for the great content.
Thanks Len...
Thanks for watching!
Not sure it's been mentioned in the thread however the blower fan issue is now a recall that Toyota is fixing.
Picking up my new 2021 tacoma access cab v6 cement color today. Hopefully it will be a good truck. Never had a toyota. Had a Chevy truck in the past for 12 years. Never any problems.
any update?
@@xobxx5150 love the truck. Runs great. I can see it's gonna be a money pit. Already bought seat covers...TRD pro grill with amber grill lights... have a rugged heavy duty grill guard. Waiting for warmer weather to install that. Wanna get new amber fog lights and maybe replace the side steps. It's endless.
@@stevesellers3170 yea there’s a lot of mods for tacoma’s
@@stevesellers3170 how is the truck a year later? I just got a 4x4 sport recently
@@BassPlayer9000 truck is great. Runs like a top. 15,000 miles on it. Day I bought its went to grocery store. Got to the truck this guy was getting his baby out of the car. He was preety close to me to begin with. Gust of wind open his door fast and hit the side of the access door. Put a small dent there. He was very apologetic.
Experienced a rough and sudden back shift on our 2017 v6 Tacoma when slowing down to come to a stop. They did re program it but still does this on occasion. Going down a hill and making a right turn it sometimes acts like the transmission is low on fluid. Pressing the accelerator down and there is nothing and as the engine rpm increases it will suddenly take off and go. Doesn't do this every time and it is recorded at the dealer. The lag in the accelerator is pretty well always there too. RPM doesn't return to normal quickly enough after starting the engine. Stays at about 1200 rpm for a long time when cold and remains elevated on re starts after it has warmed up. Thanks for sharing the info on the Tacoma'a.
Did you check the fluid level? They sent these trucks straight from Mexico with some missing up to 3 quarts of transfluid.smh. mine was 2 quarts low
@@feustondWas in to dealer for the recommended fluid change out some time ago. When they do an oil change they do check all the fluid levels as well. I don't think the transmission is low on juice or the dealer would have shown that on the invoice. Thank you for your reply.
@luvkountry maybe, maybe not..its tricky checking the level if the Trans fluid. No dipstick. So I doubt they check it
just biught a 22 tacoma sr utility 4 cylinder 4 x 2. it pulls hard to the left at highway speed. The dealer said it was the steering wheel and they fixed it. Unfortunately the problem persists, Any advice? Thanks!
Cool.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Sounds like these are mostly small, stupid things that go wrong, but cause big problems. I feel like my 2007 GMC Canyon rivals the Tacoma for reliability. After 14yrs and 113k miles, it's had no mechanical issues and leaks no fluids at all. Not even any seepage. The 3rd brake light was leaking water around 40k miles. I replaced the cheap foam gasket myself. Took 5mins and cost less than $5. A sensor related to the emissions system was replaced somewhere around 50k miles under warranty. The ignition had an electrical issue at 70k miles. I don't recall the cost out of pocket. I really can't complain. Still runs like a top and they are known to go 200k-300k miles. To sweeten the pot, I bought it as a new leftover for $12,800 out the door. SL trim with the optional 5cyl. It's proving to be a fantastic value. I'm not sure the Tacoma can even beat that kind of value.
I'm on my 3rd blower motor on my Corolla. No biggie in getting it replaced. Plus, most of us Toyota owners are used to driving with no air circulation in the cabin, creature comforts are expendable, they take a licking and keep on ticking!
What about clunk when going from reverse to drive? No grease fitting on drive shaft. It’s a 2020
