TOYOTA IMPOUNDED MY 2016 VEHICLE OVER 3 WEEKS AGO ON A RECALL AND THE DEALER AND CORPORATE HAVE TOLD ME ON A FEW OCCASIONS THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE IN IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY REALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO RECEIVE THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THEY ARE TELLING THE CONSUMER THAT THEY HAVE NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER. MY TRUCK IS PAID FOR AND I WANT IT BACK.IT'S NOW SITTING IN THEIR BACK LOT IN THE 110 DEGREE HEAT OF ARIZONA. IS TOYOTA GOING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR ME ON THE PAINT SINCE THE DUST IS JUST BAKING ON IN THE SUMMER SUN? THERE SEEMS TO BE A CULTURE OF DECEIT GOING ON AT TOYOTA TO PROTECT THERE BOTTOM LINE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THEIR NONCHALANT ATTITUDE TOWARDS THEIR CONSUMERS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY SOMEONE WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL RECALL. TOOK IT IN A MONTH AND A HALF AGO. WAS TOLD IT WAS LEAKING REALLY BAD. THEY TEMPORARILY "FIXED" IT AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE A WEEK FOR PARTS TO ARRIVE. MONTH AND A HALF LATER AND NOTHING. I KEEP CALLING THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA HQ SINCE THEY CAN'T EVEN NOTIFY ME OF WHAT'S GOING ON. SO I'VE BEEN RUNNING ON A REALLY BAD LEAK FOR A MONTH AND A HALF.

I TOOK MY TRUCK IN ON MAY 17, 2017 FOR 20,000 MILE SERVICE. MY TRUCK WAS CONFISCATED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR REAR DIFFERENTIAL RECALL. I HAVE BEEN IN 2 RENTALS SINCE THEN AND NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX MY TRUCK. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TOYOTA SERVCO MAPUNPUNA SAID THEY WILL BE KEEPING MY TRUCK FOR UP TO, IF NOT MORE, THEN 2 MONTHS. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE I NEED MY TRUCK AND I DO NOT APPRECIATE IT BEING IN THE SALT WATER ELEMENTS, WITHOUT COVERING FOR UP TO 2 MONTHS OR MORE. I WILL FEEL MUCH BETTER IF YOU/COMPANY PROVIDED A TRUCK COVER TO GO OVER MY TRUCK BECAUSE I PAID EXTRA MONEY, THROUGH TOYOTA, TO HAVE A SPECIAL COATING ON THE TRUCK TO PROTECT IT FROM THE ELEMENTS. I WASH THE TRUCK EVERY 1 1/2 TO 2 WEEKS SO THAT ELEMENTS DO NOT RUIN THE COATING ON MY TRUCK. SO UP TO 2 MONTHS OR MORE TO FIX A SLIGHT LEAK IS RIDICULOUS BEYOND BELIEF.

DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SEAT IS GETTING WET DURING HEAVY RAINS. THE LEATHER WILL BE SWELLED UP.

TOYOTA RECALL (TRANSFER CASE)HOOVER TOYOTA TOLD ME JUNE 14 I COULD NOT HAVE MY TRUCK BECAUSE OF RECALL (TAKEN IN FOR 20,000 OIL CHANGE AND TRANSMISSION TSB),STILL NO FIX DATE AND CANCELING VACATION TRIPS BECAUSE LACK OF KAYAK AND BIKE CARRIERS. I'M SURE THIS WILL REDUCE THE RESALE (I'VE HAD 4 TOYOTAS,PROBABLY MY LAST.

MY TOYOTA TACOMA 2016 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS ONE QUART LOW OF ATF FROM THE FACTORY .THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE DEALER WOULD HAVE PERFORMED AN PDI LIKE THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DO.

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS LEAKING LUBRICANT. VISIBLE SIGN OF THE LEAK ARE ON THE FRONT (DRIVESHAFT) SIDE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING.

I TOOK MY TACOMA WITH 15619 MILES ON THE ODOMETER IN FOR THE LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL CHECK ON MAY 2, 2017 AT A TOYOTA DEALER. THEY PERFORMED THE TOYOTA SPECIFIED RECALL BY CHECKING FOR LEAKS AND APPARENTLY FOUND NONE AND RE TIGHTENED THE FASTENERS. ON JUNE 27 I WAS CHECKING THE TACOMA PRIOR TO OUR LEAVING ON VACATION AND NOTICED SEEPAGE ON THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IN 3 LOCATIONS. I EMAILED TOYOTA WITH MY CONCERN. I INFORMED THEM I WOULD BE TAKING MY TACOMA TO THE DEALER ON JUNE 28, 2017 TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I TOOK THE TACOMA ON JUNE 28, 2017 TO 2NDTOYOTA DEALER. I INFORMED THE SERVICE ADVISOR OF MY CONCERN WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL. THE MASTER TECH LOOKED AT IT. I FOLLOWED UP WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE BY PHONE INFORMED THEM OF MY CONCERNS AND WAS ADVISED TO SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE MGR. AND I DID. AFTER THE TECH HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE TACOMA I WAS ADVISED THAT I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED. THE SERVICE MGR. TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD ORDER THE PARTS TO REPAIR MY TACOMA AND I COULD HAVE USE OF A TRUCK ON LOAN FROM THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL MY TACOMA COULD BE REPAIRED. I RETURNED FROM VACATION MY TRUCK WAS NOT REPAIRED WAS TOLD TOYOTA WAS HAVING SOME TYPE OF ISSUE BECAUSE 1ST DEALER HAD ALL READY PERFORMED THE RECALL. HOWEVER, THE TACOMA BEGIN LEAKING AND THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED INITIALLY. I AM CONFUSED AS IT STILL SHOULD BE A WARRANTY COVERED ISSUE EVEN IF ANOTHER DEALER HAD ALL READY DID A RECALL. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AGREED

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"?

I BROUGHT MY TRUCK IN FOR A ROUTINE SERVICING ON 6/16. I KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL IN PLACE SO I WANTED THEM TO CHECK FOR THE LEAK. LATER THAT THEY, THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS A LEAK IN PLACE AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP THE TRUCK. THEY HAVE ME A LOANER CAR IN THE MEANTIME. NOW, THEY STILL HAVE NO ETA ON THE PART AND SOMEONE WAS TOLD BEGINNING OF 2018. I NEED THE TRUCK, AS I AM IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA CORPORATE WHO BOTH SAID, "WE DON'T KNOW".

REAR DIFFERENTIAL GASKET LEAKS. COULDNT FIX IT WHEN I WENT IN BECAUSE THEY DIDNT HAVE PARTS. REFUSED TO GIVE ME A RENTAL TRUCK. TOLD ME I NEEDED TO PROVE I OWNED A BUSINESS. THEY ALSO WANTED TO KEEP MY VEHICLE BUT I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS TO GET TO WORK. AND THEY DIDNT KNOW HOW LONG IT WAS GOING TO TAKE TO GET THE PARTS. TOLD ME 8 PLUS WEEKS TO GET A GASKET.

I TOOK MY TACOMA TO THE DEALER FOR REGULAR OIL/SERVICE, I WAS ADVISED OF A SAFETY RELATED RECALL (H0G) THEY ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE IT UNTIL CORRECTED, GAVE ME A "LOANER". I'VE YET TO GET AN ASSESSMENT AND RETURN DATE. THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO NOT BE GETTING INFORMATION FROM THE CORPORATE OFFICE. I CONTACTED THE CORPORATE OFFICE TO ASK WHAT MY OPTIONS WERE. (REFUND, REPLACEMENT, ETC) I TOLD THEM I WAS AWARE OF A "LEMON LAW" . THE REP GOT KIND OF SHORT WITH ME, SAID I WOULD BE HEARING FROM THEIR LEGAL DEPT. AFTER 2 WEEKS NO RESPONSE, I CALLED BACK. THEY SAID IT COULD BE 30-45 DAYS BEFORE GETTING A RESPONSE. CONCERNS I HAVE ARE: 1) MY VEHICLE JUST SETTING THERE NOT BEING DRIVEN DEVELOPING MORE PROBLEMS I'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH. 2) A "BLACK MARK" ON ITS RESALE VALUE. 3) TOYOTA TRYING TO FORCE ME INTO A "LOW BALL" SETTLEMENT. THE DEALER HAS BEEN FAIR AS POSSIBLE SO FAR BUT THEY SEEM TO BE IN A VOID REGARDING THE RECALL FROM THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE. I ALMOST HAVE THE VEHICLE PAID OFF AND NOT LOOKING FORWARD STARTING OVER OR GETTING INVOLVED IN A LEGAL PROCEEDING. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, MARIETTA TOYOTA, FOR SERVICE AND IT WAS IMPOUNDED ON MAY 31, 2017 DUE TO SAFETY RECALL OF REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAK. I WAS INFORMED AT THAT TIME THAT THE PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST TWO MONTHS. IT HAS NOW BEEN A MONTH AND I WOULD LIKE SOME INFORMATION ON WHAT ACTION I CAN TAKE.

TOYOTA RECALLED MY 2016 TACOMA FOR REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAK SAFETY RECALL. AFTER DROPPING MY TRUCK OFF TODAY THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO REPAIR IT IF THEY GET THE PARTS FROM TOYOTA, WHICH THEY SAID COULD TAKE MONTHS. MY QUESTION IS, WHY SHOULD THEY INCONVENIENCE ME FOR MONTHS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. TOYOTA REQUIRED ME TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY RECALL. THEY DID PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL CAR, WHICH DOES ME NO GOOD BECAUSE I BOUGHT A TRUCK AND I NEED A TRUCK. AT THE DEALERSHIP AT VINELAND NJ THEY ALREADY HAD 15 TACOMA'S IN THE BACK LOT. THE MANAGER TOLD ME THEY WOULD BE FIXED ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS. HE SAID HE HAD A SMALL DEALERSHIP AND HE WASN'T SURE HOW FAST HE COULD GET PARTS BECAUSE THERE WERE 288,000 TACOMA'S INVOLVED. I AM OUT OF A TRUCK FOR GOD KNOWS HOW LONG.

TOOK MY TOYOTA FOR NORMAL SERVICE AND THEY INDICATE A RECALL FOR THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE REPAIRED WITHIN A DAY. IT HAS BEEN 12 DAYS AND TOYOTA SAID THEY DO NOT WHEN THEY WILL GET PARTS OR WHEN THEY WILL FIX IT. THEY SAID IT COULD BE A MONTH OR MORE. I ASKED FOR AN UPDATE TODAY AND THEY SAID IT COULD BE MONTHS.

THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V285000 (POWER TRAIN) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR FOR LONGER THAN 60 DAYS. THE DEALER (BIG TWO TOYOTA OF CHANDLER, 1250 S GILBERT RD, CHANDLER, AZ 85286,(480) 898-6000 ), PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE BUT DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACTS VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN OF WHEN A FAILURE MAY PROGRESS WITH THE VEHICLE PARKED AT THE DEALERS FOR LONGER THAN 2 MONTHS. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

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.

TAKATA RECALL I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT IS RECALLED. THEY SAY IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 10 DAYS TO 3 WEEKS, OR EVEN UP TO MORE THAN 2 MONTHS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR NOW. IN THE MEAN TIME, I HAVE NO CAR TO DRIVE TO WORK. IT IS RECALL BECAUSE OF THE COMPANY'S FAULT, THEN WHY DO I HAVE NO LOANER CAR?

2016 TOYOTA TACOMA RECALLED FOR LEAKY REAR DIFFERENTIAL. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW 11 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP A MONTH AND A HALF OF THAT. I STILL HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS WHILE MY TRUCK SITS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I CALLED SOUTHEAST TOYOTA AND THEY LIED TO ME TELLING ME IF I HAD FINANCED THROUGH TOYOTA FINANCIAL THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS RIGHT NOW. I AM STILL PAYING FOR THE TRUCK THAT'S BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALER FOR 6 WEEKS. TOYOTA SAYS THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL FIX MY TRUCK. I ALSO HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR A NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH THAT WAS NEVER FIXED. I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE 15000 MILE TIRE ROTATION AND WAS INFORMED IT HAD A LEAKY REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND HAVE NEVER SEEN MY TRUCK THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR AGAIN,

I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD TO KEEP THE TRUCK FOR A RECALL. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER CAR BUT IT HAS NOW BEEN THREE WEEKS. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHEN THERE WILL BE A FIX FOR THIS RECALL. SINCE LEAVING IT A SECOND RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS ONE AS WELL. 3 WEEKS IS EXCESSIVE BY ANYONE'S DEFINITION. DEALER WON'T RETURN PHONE CALLS. TOYOTA CORPORATE TOLD ME IT WAS THE DEALERS RESPONSIBILITY. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO, LAWYER-UP?

TOYOTA HAS IMPOUNDED MY CAR INDEFINITELY FOR THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL RECALL. I'M LEFT DRIVING A LOANER. THEY SAID PREPARE TO NOT HAVE MY CAR FOR MAYBE MONTHS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY VEHICLE IS LOCATED AT TOYOTA OF ESCONDIDO IN CALIFORNIA. I HOLD THE TITLE YET I CAN'T HAVE MY CAR? PRETTY SURE THAT'S ILLEGAL.

RECALL FOR REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAKING.

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.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL RECALL- ON MAY 9TH I DROPPED MY TRUCK OFF AT STEVENS CREEK TOYOTA TO HAVE THE TWO ERROR MESSAGES REVIEWED FOR CAUSE. THE ADVISOR, ROBIN LET ME KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FROM APRIL AND THAT THEY WOULD INSPECT MY VEHICLE FOR LEAKS. THE FIRST REPORT WAS THAT THERE WERE NO LEAKS. THE FOLLOWING MORNING WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO RETRIEVE MY TRUCK I WAS TOLD THE TRUCKS REAR DIFF WAS LEAKING TERRIBLY AND WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS TOLD THE FIX WOULD BE COMPLETE IN ONE TO TWO WEEKS AND WAS GIVEN A COROLLA AS A COMPARABLE LOANER VEHICLE. AFTER TWO WEEKS OF FALSE UPDATES FROM VARIOUS TECHS I EMAILED THE SERVICE MANAGER AND REQUESTED AN IMMEDIATE UPDATE ALONG WITH A TRULY COMPARABLE LOANER "TRUCK". I RECEIVED AN UPDATE OF "PER TOYOTA THERE IS NO FIX AND NO TIME LINE AS TO WHEN A FIX WILL HAPPEN". I WAS GIVEN A DODGE RAM RENTAL FROM ENTERPRISE AS AN UPGRADED LOANER VEHICLE. I HAVE CALLED THE NUMBER PROVIDED ON THE WEB-SITE 800.331.4331 AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS STILL NO REPAIR AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN ONE WILL BE FORTHCOMING. I AM MAKING PAYMENTS AND PROVIDING INSURANCE ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE I HAVE BARELY EVEN DRIVEN AND NOW RESIDES ON THE DEALER LOT. THE LOANER VEHICLE IS COMPARABLE IN SIZE BUT NOT WHEN IT COMES TO ALL THE ADDED OPTIONS AND SAFETY FEATURES I PAID FOR. I HAVE KEPT A VERY DETAILED RECORD OF ALL CONVERSATIONS & EMAILS. I JUST WANT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK I AM PAYING FOR BUT I WOULD BE WILLING TO DISCUSS PURCHASING A

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)

DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER, STARTED BUCKING AND THEN STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. LUCKILY THE ROAD WAS FAIRLY EMPTY AND THERE WAS NO COLLISION SO NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE TRAC OFF AND CHECK ENGINE CAME ON; CHARGING SYSTEM ERROR SHOWED. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONLY 10,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP REPORT SAID IT WAS THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR, REPLACED IT WITH AN "ENHANCED" VERSION AND THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONS NORMALLY AGAIN. TACOMAWORLD.COM HAS HAD MANY MEMBERS REPORT SIMILAR FAILURES, ESPECIALLY INVOLVING THE 2016 TACOMA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, A LEAK WAS FOUND IN THE REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL WHERE THE BOLTS AND THE CARRIER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS NOT SURE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE SALES MANAGER STATED THAT IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 MONTHS FOR THE PARTS AND TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE AT THE END OF THE MONTH. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER THE SECOND TIME AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE NOT SURE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. CASE NUMBER: 1705042710 WAS PROVIDED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,200.

CRANK POSITION SENSOR-TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHEN IT BUCKED AND STALLED. IT STARTED AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT A BLOCK TO MY MOM'S HOUSE/GARAGE, WHERE I KEEP MY TRUCK. AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE GARAGE, IT BUCKED AND STALLED AGAIN. I REPLACED THE CPS (CRANK POSITION SENSOR) BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT MY TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT COST ME $110 BUCK. I'M REALLY GLAD I WASN'T OUT CAMPING OR IN TRAFFIC WHEN THIS OCCURRED, AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH WORSE SITUATION.

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.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL ON MY TRD OFF ROAD MODEL 4X4 TRUCK IS SHOWING SEEPAGE DESPITE NOT BEING INCLUDED IN RECALL FROM TOYOTA

I TOOK MY TACOMA TO HEADQUARTER TOYOTA IN MIAMI FLORIDA, REASON WAS FOR THE RECALL ISSUED ON THE 4/27/17 THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME AS THE RECALL "DONE" WHEN I INSPECT THE VEHICLE ITS STILL LEAKING DIF FLUID AND I CALL THE SERVICE ADVISER AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT PERFORMED THE RECALL B/C THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS...... SO AT THIS POINT YOU LET ME KEEP MY CAR WITHOUT LETTING ME KNOW THAT NO PARTS WERE CHANGED... CMON TOYOTA...

THE DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED REPLACEMENT AT <10,000 DUE TO A LOUD HOWLING NOISE WHEN CRUISING AT 55 MPH. THE NOISE WAS NOTED WHEN I FIRST PICKED UP THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THE VOLUME GOT MUCH LOUDER OVER TIME. EVEN MY 4 YEAR OLD CHILD ASKED, "WHAT'S THAT SOUND?" THE SERVICE RECORDS NOTED METAL "SILVER SHAVINGS" WERE FOUND IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE DIFFERENTIAL, THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE IN THE HOWLING SOUND AT 55 MPH. I'M CONCERNED THE DIFFERENTIAL IS DEFECTIVE. MANY OTHER TACOMA OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOM. [HTTPS://WWW.TACOMAWORLD.COM/THREADS/3RD-GEN-POLL-REAR-END-NOISE-HOWLING-WHEN-FEATHERING-THROTTLE.442341/] TO MY KNOWLEDGE, NO ONE HAS REPORTED A SUCCESSFUL FIX.
