    Had my new Tacoma 4-D PreRunner 2WD for about a month now and and noticed a vibration through the steering column when accelerating -a little in first gear but a lot in second before smoothing out. Took it to Toyota and they said there was TSB on the problem and they would repair under warranty. Picked it up from them today and vibration is still still there.
    I've made an appointment for next week but after seeing some posts here I'm not real confidant of a good outcome. Is this fixable and does Toyota even know the source of vibration?
    Thanks for any input.

    Welcome,
    You might have better luck getting a response to your question if you post it in the appropriate technical sections - more people read that than the new member section. Anyway, welcome and I hope you get it resolved.

    Hi, I'm a newby,
    I'm looking for the TSB for the 2013 Tacoma Ecelleration Vibration mentioned above?
    I have this on my new truck when excellerating from 0 to ~27 mph. Brought it to the dealer, they acknowledged the vibration and told me it was on all the trucks?? I even drove a differnt (same modle) and it was there. This is not right.

    set the u bolts to 80 foot pounds and report back. I swear this is
    the problem (it was for me) and you at least need to check this, if all other fixes fail
