2016 Tacoma Getting Our 6 Speed Automatic Transmission Fixed

Just as a word of caution 2200 RPM on the highway (5th/6th gear) is the absolute worst RPM for the buzzing vibration in the steering wheel. Really make sure you don't have that issue before getting stuck there. Try to get to a speed in 4th/5th/6th where you can stay steady at 2200 RPM and make sure your steering wheel feels rock solid, no vibration whatsoever.

 

I don't have any Vibes at 28-3000 Rpm's thats where I drive mine at in S4. LOL... I also drop the the drive shaft about 1/4 inch because of lift.

 

They aren't at 2800-3000, only about 2100-2400, strongest at 2100-2200 in the higher gears.

 

Here in Colorado,the only way to get your truck to run at 2100 rpm's is to drive a step down hill. haha..
Thanks for the heads up, I'll be looking into it..

 

aero, what is the cause of the vibrations? driveshaft universal joint angles not in line or driveshaft balance issue?

 

I have recorded 5 consecutive days my transmission failed with less than 500 miles on the truck. I filed a complaint with Toyota corporate. They told me to work with the dealer. So, I followed their instructions. The dealer cannot replicate the issue after having the car for a total of 5 days (two separate tickets). The dealer test drove the truck, and in addition, says their computer shows everything is operating to specification. It is clear that the dealer is not empowered to solve my problem unless they can log something with their Techstream, which likely, cannot diagnose a transmission.

To date, Toyota has not solved this and/or assured I was a satisfied customer. I am hoping this will change very soon.

To be fair, I will certainly report how Toyota takes care of me if and when they do. I am putting faith in Toyota to stand behind their product.
