I love the Taco. My son is in Boy Scouts and we do alot of backpacking. The compartments are great. Its better than my Ford Sport Trac was. Even if Corp bought mine back id get another one. I wander if the Tundras have the same clunk?
This will only be the second time to the dealership. Under the Lemon law the dealer gets a reasonable amount of times to fix the same problem whatever reasonable is ? Then the Corporation or manufacturing company buys back the car or pays the lien holder off and usually gives the customer some...
Damn! Clunk back! This time only when the Toco sits overnight and its cold can i replacate it. So back to the drawing board. 16th back to dealer tech. Corp still with me on case!
Yes they did Toyota fan and all who are interested. ( TC 1601 Reprogram ECM (PMC) 997923 W ) Next ( 21746 Abnormal Shifting Caused by ECM Software Logic) Next ( TSB 0077-16 ) that's all the codes that is on the report.
I am signed up with the Toyota owners website. Thats how i got Corporate to call me there are no notices on the site yet.
As a matter of fact Corporate is supposed to call me Monday for a follow-up.
Just got my Truck back. WOW what a difference. You were right Tibadoe TSB abnormal shifting caused by ECM software logic. they updated software and did a flash on the main computer. drives real nice now drove it 15 miles without a symptom of anything. Trans oil was at correct level.
Kudos to...
Mike perhaps you have me mixed up with someone else. I never do use old oil. 1st thing is old oil looses its viscosity even if it sits. 2nd It tends to burn quicker and leave scaring in the cylinders.
3rd its cheaper just to change the oil rather than change a blown rod.
At Dealership just finished road test with service tech. He actually felt the clunk in the down shift. He also said there may be a TSB Update and the trans slipping could be due to low fluid in trans so when the engine is cold the low fluid has not expanded enough and as turning a corner the...
Please don't get me wrong. I love the truck i have always been a Ford Fan until the rear engine seal went out and it took the dealership 5 times to fix it at a cost of 2k
Then it went out again and i decided to get the Tacoma because i seen the reviews on it and my brother had one in the 90s...
I emailed the Toyota owners website at 7am this morning and basicly told them about the problems on my new truck. At 11:30am i recived a call from corp and they said they were sorry to hear of my situation and are going to have a case manager call me back before the end of the business day...
I have an appointment with the dealer this Saturday. I will suggest all your ideas to them. Thanks for all the info its a start. Post results after dealership visit.
Just got the Tacoma 2017 SR5 v6 automatic double cab a month ago. New to the Toyota world. Noticed when the truck is cold and slowing to a stop a big clunck in the engine gearing down. Also seems like the trans slips and hesitates when accelerating from 10 mph Spracticly never can tell when it...
