2017 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY SNOW AT 50 MPH, THEY CRASHED INTO SEVERAL ELK IN THE ROAD. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER OCCUPANT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK, CHEEK AND BACK HOWEVER MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT PROVIDED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE

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.

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.

CERTAIN TOYOTA'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR A FUEL PUMP ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO ADDMINE TO THAT LIST BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES HESITATES FROM A STOP POSITION TO A GO POSITION. I'VE BEEN TOLD THE RECALL HAS BEEN TO THE CARS AT HIGH SPEEDS, WELL MINE IS DIFFERENT, BUT DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WILL ALLOW YOU TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, BUT WILL DIE AND PUMPING THE ACCELERATOR IS NESSECARY TO GET INTO FLOW OF TRAFFIC OR TO AVOID BEING HIT IN CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. PLEASE ADD MY TRUCK INTO THIS CATEGORY. THANKS

I TOOK MY TOYOTA (WHICH IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION) THROUGH A CAR WASH PARKED IT AT HOME DIRECTLY AFTER. WENT TO DRIVE IT 24 HOURS LATER AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THIS HAD HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE THAT I WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK THE BRAKE MYSELF BY MANUAL ROCKING OF THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE USE OF 1ST GEAR AND REVERSE. I JUST HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED FOR THE SECOND TIME AFTER ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK IT WITHOUT DEALERSHIP HELP. IT UNLOCKED SOMEWHAT VIA THE METHOD I HAVE USED BEFORE. IT IS NOW DRIVING LIKE THE BRAKE IS STILL TRYING TO ENGAGE EVEN THOUGH THE HANDBRAKE IS NOT ENGAGED.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITH THE GEAR SHIFTER IN DRIVE, PARK OR REVERSE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000.

2017 TOYOTA TACOMA 2GR-FKS (V6) MOTOR FAILURE AT 110,000 MILES. CYLINDER #5 & 6 MISFIRE CODES THROWN AFTER NOMINAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER STOPPING AT A GAS STATION, I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE TRUCK. TRUCK WOULD NOT IDLE AND WAS NOT DRIVE-ABLE. THE MOTOR HAD NEW SPARK PLUGS AND A NEW CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING ZERO COMPRESSION ON CYLINDER #5 & 6. NEW MOTOR NEEDED :(
