3rd Gen Tacoma Areas of Concern (Listed)

Outlier what tires? And does it have a lift? Nice truck.

 

Ed for the one stop bitch and complain thread.

Op- you should title this Don't read if you want to like your truck

Here is my compliant.


I thought this was a truck, how does a mini van hurt it? Oh and I can't drive the dam thing cause it's not repaired yet, dam Toyota.

 

The vibration in my accelerator pedal. Until I realized it was 700w of Boston coming through the stereo!

 

Absolutely unacceptable!

 

Dude, you gotta number your answers like the OP!

Don't forget the issue that happens when other people hit your door with their door.. Toyota should really do something about that...

Havent experienced any symptoms but #3 and I found a fix for it. Bought a set of Redline tuning hood struts. Keeps the hood latch pressed against it's locking mechanism, which is the source of the play in the hood to begin with. The latch doesnt fit the locking mechanism very well which allows it to bounce up and down when the truck is at speed. The hood struts put just enough force on the bottom of the hood to keep it pressed against the latch during driving so it doesn't shake anymore. I riveted the brackets into the framework of the hood underneath the sheet metal, and also into the side of the engine bay just underneath where the black plastic trim is around the top, per the extremely accurate supplied instructions. The plastic trim must be removed for install but will fit back on after.. heres a link: http://www.redlinetuning.com/Toyota-Tacoma-2016-p/21-27015-02.htm

 

Also had driveline vibrations after a lift but was able to fix those as well. Used a 3* spacer on the axle, carrier bearing drop, and next ill be replacing the infamous needle bearing with the ECGS bushing and then should be vibe free. Already did the 4Hi test and confirmed that all vibes go away in 4Hi so needle bearing is definitely the culprit

 

Y'all are like the Jeep people.

 

At least there is no annoying wave.

 

.......and after all the top executives see the moaning, whining, complaining, and bitching......they be like........ thanks for the money, and......

 

If you want to make this useful rather than a shit fest, you should probably just list things that are actual issues, and that multiple people have had. Using that criteria there are a number of things you should take off that list, and a few to add. But then again there already is a sticky for this, so you probably do just want to start a shit fest.

So please add :-
Toyota won't give me a million mile bumper to bumper warranty because I was inconvenienced having to take it in for a service.
