New 4x4 Tacoma Has Vibration When Braking

Toyota corporate sent out field tech/engineer to checking my truck this morning. They acknowledged the vibrations issues and gave me rental truck..

 

Please let us know what the outcome is and what repairs they do

 

My 2019 OR does this, Toyota here called corporate engineers and was told its a characteristic of the truck- and more pronounced on Longbeds.

There's also a fella in this thread who said his went away after 5k miles. Either way, I had mine checked and documented by the dealership I bought it at, no monkey business if something fails or gets worse down the road.

 

My vibrate at 50 mph and 30 mph to stop.. Toyota field tech says he needs more times to diagnose. They gave me a rental truck 2018 Tacoma sr5 it’s drive real smooth and it feels like it more power than mine 2019 red off road

 

Please continue to keep us posted.

I feel like almost everyone has the 30mph to stop (mines specifically 26-27mph down to ~10-15mph) and the response from Toyota to my dealer/tech (which said it didnt feel right) was that it's "normal".... likewise, they took out another TRDOR DCLB and said they felt the same thing.

 

Update from my service advisor:

I GOT YOU. THE GUY WHO CAME OUT WAS FROM TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA. HE GAVE US THE GREEN LIGHT ON ALL THE PARTS; HE ORDERED THE PARTS; HE INSPECTED IT; HE TOOK THE MEASUREMENTS, SO WE'RE STRICTLY GOING OFF HIS RECOMMENDATIONS. HE WAS AND IS FULLY AWARE THAT THE AXLES HAVE BEEN WORKED ON TWICE LOL. THERE'S JUST SOMETHING OFF ABOUT ONE OF THEM. I'M NOT SURE WHY. THEY ARE BUT MACHINES... YA KNOW?

 

I read somewhere that the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results ... hopefully it doesn’t apply to axles. Am looking forward to the results ! Keep us informed jimmy

 

Did Toyota take your third gen truck back?

 

@Tacoma2020,

I sent them letter for final repair attempt and this time they sent out field tech/engineer to checked/work on my truck... they ordered parts right now, I don’t know what all they going to do to it. Will keep you guys posted

 

Good luck, man. I know you’ve been on this a while.

 

@Not_Sure,
I won’t give up. I will fight behalf of everyone that have vibration problems.
I at least got the field tech to acknowledged that there was a problem with the truck and they are doing something about it.

 

I got one or two more visits before i am fully qualified(according to camvap (Canadian lemon law) to escalate to corporate too. then they get 3 tries. After that camvap buyback requirements are met.

 

Just picked up the truck minutes ago. They doing the rear axles again(3)times except this time they had the best master technician worked on it.
Will see how it goes in couple weeks.

 

Newbie to this forum but wanted to post that I experiencing this with my new 2019 Tacoma 4x4 Offroad. I've had it for less than a week and already taken it to two dealerships after seeing this page. Both dealerships told me this was all normal and nothing wrong with my new Truck. I was so excited to buy my dream truck and then this started happening to me. Still happy but don't feel this is normal.

 

On my 2019 Tacoma off road 4x4, they replace both rear axles, both rear backing parking plates, a bunch bolts, seals, bearings that go with the axles, and they resurfaced the rear drums. I immediately felt the difference. The vibrating is gone. It’s been about 400 miles since the repair and so far so good.

 

I am new to this forum, as I just bought a new 2019 TRD Off Road Tacoma. That being said I am experiencing this slight vibration as well, similar to what others are saying here. I was doing internet research and came across this thread and decided to sign up and comment. I still not sure if this is just normal behavior (I came from a WRX STI so very different suspension obviously) or something that needs to be fixed. After reading through this it sounds like a lot of things are still being figured out. So I am very interested to see what comes out of this from the community. Thank you to those that are going through the hassle of dealing with the dealers/Toyota, etc.

 

Have had my 2019 Tacoma now for exactly 2 months with 2,285 miles on it. Took it in because the vibration when breaking seemed to be a little excessive. Having to replace the rear axle and other items because of it. Guys said today it’s a known issue.

 

Interesting that they said it is a known issue. If that is the case, hopefully Toyota will come out with a TSB. Keep us informed on if the rear axle replacement fixes it.

 

I will be following this. I noticed my kids carseat on the passenger side kinda rattled alot one day when braking. Starting paying more attention to it the last couple weeks. Def only happens when braking from around 25.

 

Went to the dealer for my howl and my 30-40km/h vibration (axles were previously replaced). The good news, the howel is suspect to be a bad carrier baering (may be some of the higher speed vibes but i doubt it). The service writer made a mention that there was an obsene number of these at the warehouse which is likely a sign of Toy gearing up for a TSB.

The bad news. I finally got a "the techs said its normal and just how the trucks are". Well this is my 3rd attempt at a dealer level fix so its time to escalate to Toyota Corporate (as per camvap requirements).
