2016 Tacoma broke down today 17,000 miles

Went to drop something off at my wife's work today and the truck drove fine. I was there for about 20 minutes. A couple minutes after leaving I thought my truck shifted rough. I turned down my radio and thought that was weird. It slowly got worse to were I couldnt go above 40 mph. I pulled over and turned the truck off to see if it would help. Started the truck and it was even worse. Wouldn't go above 25 mph. Trying to find a safe place to pull over and it died lucky right when I got to the shoulder. I couldn't even get the truck to start after that. After sitting for about 20 minutes it would start fine but same issues.

I had to have it towed. When they dropped me off at my house I plugged in my ultra gauge to see the codes. They were cylinder misfires and camshaft over timing.

Anybody ever have a similar issue?

Thanks man! I searched on my phone for a while waiting on the tow truck but didn't find that.

 

Holy shit man I'm sorry to hear it.

Must be freaky Friday (the 13th?), they're dropping like flys.

Do you have the diagnosis yet?

 

Over timing? Is this an interference engine?

 

I hated doing the timing belt on my old xterra with the interference engine, worst idea ever. Plus all the horror stories that if it breaks it can really f shit up. I really hope this 3.5l is not interference.

 

CPS failure symptoms, no one with a build before 4/16 is safe, I would change it and be safe than sorry.

Best of luck
Cheers!

 

was it tracked down to that date? just curious .. I have a 2016

 

If this happens to my truck it will be the last time it does it.

Sorry about your truck @double dee hope nothing to serious.

 

2 in one day

So this is only a 2016 issue?

 

Yep, I already changed mine out as a preventive measure. For around $90 and 20 minutes of work, it's worth the peace of mind knowing it won't spontaneously fail and leave me stranded somewhere.

 

Shouldn't happen on ANY 17k mile vehicle.

 

Shit. How did I miss this one?

 

For sure. Toyota should do something about this already, like replace the CPS in all trucks that had one of the apparently bad batch of sensors installed.

 

It's hard to keep track eh....



Lol

 

Now I am paranoid , I have a build date of 02/16

 

Ow shit

Maybe you should create your own thread already

 

Waiting for 2nd gen trolls....
