2017 Tacoma needs new engine block!?

I live and work about 20 min from that plant. More importantly though, I disagree here. IIRC, the last time a 3rd gen taco engine bit the bullet a full crate motor wasn't on the table. I believe it was going to be a short block and the dealership would be left to assemble the rest. That being said the truck ended up getting lemon lawed so

Edit: Found the thread..

I really do hope OP gets a fully assembled engine. I'd just bet against it.

 

Can't stand sushi. After seeing they found tapeworms in Salmon here in the U.S. I'll pass.

 

Feed one to your wife/significant other. You'll thank me later

 

Nah, if she got a tapeworm I'd have to start Supersizing her combo meals to feed them both.

 

Eat only Japanese fish fully sterilized by Fukushima radiation.

 

Eat your sushi in the dark!

 

uhh, too late, somebody literally complained about this exact thing just last week and wanted an extended warranty because of it.

 

You make a very realistic comparison. I had a tire de-laminate and replaced under warranty recently and those cheap M.F's at discount tire would only replace one tire when I bought 4.

The OP needs to learn negotiation techniques, he needs to ask for 2 new trucks so he has a spare next time this happens, but settle for a new truck and a minivan.

 

I'm not reading through the whole 400 posts, but if you are seeking legal action I highly suggest you stop posting on public forums.

Also, sorry to hear about your truck. I hope it all works out for you.

 

Hold it, there is a case manager with the name of Karma?????....what's next - a Toyota Chief Truck Engineer with the name of Champale?

 

thank you I thought hard on that one!
but joke aside, the main purpose of buying a brand new vehicle i the piece of mind and knowing that no one other then you have dicked around with it. and i understand that mechanical things break and shit happen but in OP's case its clearly a factory defect in a very sensitive area and he cough it in less then a month of ownership! so I am wit OP on this one I would ask for a brand new vehicle or money back!

 

Don't sweat this, once you get your new engine you are all set. These things are bulletproof. You will have at least another 2-6 months before you hear your diff howl or get some hard clunky downshifts.

 

What about settling for a truck with a minivan engine?

 

Didn't he already do that?

 

And im in a rental highlander now i like it i should have just spent 40 grand or more...

 

I hear the 3.5 performs really well in the Highlander

No he has I4

 

Yeah i had to get some stuff out of the taco it was on a lift and they had the valve cover off the old engine....
