Truck dead lol

I'm bleeding, shots fired! I agree, yes frame rot is a thing, but I just live in the right conditions to not have that problem.
A problem like OP is having really should never be a problem, if the factory didn't fuck it up putting it together, then it's a fatal design flaw. I thought the schizophrenic tranny was going to be the only problem, I am wrong, it's much worse.

 

YOU ARE THE WINNER!

Toyota is ordering me a new sensor. They said trans flush wasn't needed but they will do it for me for good measure.

They'll do any needed tsb updates and will keep me posted if anything else needs to be looked at. Everything is covered so no penny out of my pockets which is nice.

Does anyone have an idea how we can prevent a faulty sensor?


I did get this sexy sr tacoma with absolutely no bells and whistles for a couple days

 

And I thought I was the salty one...

See that's amazing looking. I wish my 2nd gen looked that good.

 

I believe there were some bad production batches in the '16s Not anything you could do yourself to prevent it. New parts we are assuming to be better.

 

I'd hope so. The trails I go to are usually off the grid so to be stuck somewhere out there would have been bad. Appreciate all the info @TacomaWorld members! Little back and forth jeering was funny too.

Trucks been good to me besides the sensor part. No REAAAAL complaints yet.

 

Muchas gracias! Trying my best to represent the BBP members out there

 

See, this whole thing shouldn't even be happening, a cam shaft sensor should not need to be replaced on a truck this new. Production problems or not, Toyota shouldn't keep making more until they fix the problem, putting a new sensor in could just be a temporary patch, what if it "breaks" again?

 

Well at least it's an easy fix so you'll be back on the road soon. Good looking truck, man.

 

I wouldn't be too worried. Lots of suppliers and bad batches through on everything. I've seen it so much. It's either been remedied by now or they've cancelled the contract and switched vendors.

 

Based on the vehicle info, I'd bet my money on the cps sensor op, no biggie.
The atf is the last thing i'd be concerned about, you'll be just fine its a well known issue with the cps

Best of luck!
Cheers!

 

Thanks man I'm trying!
Here's a couple pics.. lol to be defeated by a sensor is kind of embarrassing -_-

 

Best looking 3rd gen I've seen, even though the chrome needs to go.

 

Yeah it sucks. Probably costs $3.00 to manufacture and lays out a $38,000 truck.

 

Yeah lol I've been wanting to wrap the side mirrors and handles but MOAR OFF ROAD MODS NEEDED LOL

 

Yup three bucks i'd bet, and they charge a $100 for it if you want to replace it
Smh

 

Sewed? Will the needle hurt?

 

Hahahaha touché. Sued***

 

This guy is a 2nd gen owner troll who dreams of having a 3rd, or even a 6 cyl for that matter.
And he worries about acceleration on the 3rd gen ? What a joker.
Day after day all day long, same ol bs. Day after day, week after week.

 

Damn dude! Literally the same thing happened to me today. 2016 built in November 2015 w/ 17,000 miles.

 

As opposed to you? A fat, balding virgin who doesn't even own a vehicle and lives in his parents basement because he can't get a job ?
