UPDATE, UPDATE,UPDATE 12/28/15: Any one having problems with their 16 completely shutting down

My situation:

Picked up my 16 Taco. Drove to Shreveport, LA and back for a little weekend getaway and it drove like a dream. The next weekend I took the family to Memphis, TN. On the way back, while driving 75mph, the truck shut down. While coasting to the shoulder, it kicked back on for a few seconds and then shut back down. I couldn't get it to start, so I pulled the 30amp main fuse and reinserted said fuse. Truck started up and off we went. 3/10th of a mile later had the same issue. This happened 4 more times as I limped it along to a truck stop. Trac control, ABS, Brake, check engine, and cruise control warning lights are all on. Truck is at the dealership now waiting on Toyota field/design engineers to come and inspect. What says you guys?

 

i am really starting to see why so many members are waiting a year before buying. New problems every day

 

Yep, complexity woes starting to show up.

@BlueT

 

oh you had to!

 

Do you know who they were? I would sure like to hear what the results/diagnosis were.

 

I don't think Toyota had ever realized a vehicle with that many problems.
It's worse than Colorado/Canyon. Hood vibration was the last item to hold over the Twins.
Way to go Toyota.

 

sounds like a fuel pump or fuel pump electronics issue. had a similar problem in my tundra.

 

Only 809 miles on mine no issues yet...

 

There was someone else with a similar issue. They ended up getting a new truck out of it. Let's see if I can find it again

 

The posts in here are worse than the Colorado forums. I have strong distaste for GM, but it feels like this truck was rushed to the market - with the lack of styling changes and a lot of silly problems

 

Lack of styling changes? The truck really had an overhaul on the interior. Whenever a new generation of a vehicle is released, there are going to be some problems. Give it another year or two and these problems won't be apparent.

 

rushed on the market? it took toyota 10 years to put out a new design. lol

 

Mine has been perfect so far but as long as man makes it you can expect problems no matter what the choice. When I do encounter an issue the Warranty better cover it and they can pay my expenses f it has to go back. Customer Service!

 

If you go to the beach and have a good time, you may tell one person.
If you go to the beach and see a shark, you WILL tell 10 people.

When you get on a message board where people are only posting about 2016 Tacomas, the ratio is probably 100:1

 

Wow ... sorry to hear about your troubles of it shutting down. Hopefully it is an easy fix. I am over 5500 miles and everthing is perfect.

 

Glad I bought the 2.7 Ole Tried and True!

 

True. But its a dog.

 

Say what you please. The truck suits my needs.

 

Everything is good with my taco.. I had a similar thing happen to my mercedes.luckily at a slow speed..happen to be some flippin mice ate up all my electrical wires.

Skimming through the Colorado fans site there seems to be a lot of problems with a interior leaks and a big transmission issue gm is still trying to come up with a fix.
